A sign of how widespread are the protests of Israeli apartheid. A group of Berlin queers against apartheid protest the fact that the annual pride day march (titled CSD, for Christopher Street Day) invited the Israeli ambassador. Video is at the link. Berlin against Pinkwashing reports:
Activists attacked at peaceful anti-pinkwashing demo
We (as a queer group who had every right to participate in the CSD) were violently attacked after protesting the invitation of the Israeli ambassador to the CSD parade today. The group of counterdemonstrators violently hit us and stabbed our placards with the poles of their Israeli flags. These images speak volumes.
A similar protest took place a year ago when the ambassador spoke at Christopher Street Day parade.
Thanks to Ofer Neiman.
What? Zionists attacked peaceful demonstrators? Never heard of that before.

April 1976, Boston. Using Old Gory (sic) to attack school desegregation proponents.
Everything old is new again.
Two peas in the pod. Two dangerous entities that have caused problems in many parts of the world, and a nation that pretends God chose it to take care of Holy Mosques in bed with a nation that pretends it is God’s chosen and occupies.
Watch out Arab neighborhood.
