Activists throw leaflets at Berlin shopping centre to protest Gaza war
Pro-Palestine activists have thrown leaflets in a shopping centre in the German capital, Berlin, to protest Israel’s war on Gaza.
During their action on Monday, they expressed their rejection of normal Christmas shopping while a “live-streamed genocide” is continuing in the besieged and bombarded territory.
A video published by a German pro-Palestine page on Instagram, verified by Al Jazeera, showed the moment activists threw a large number of leaflets before being asked to stop.
