In Berlin, Germany, police have repeatedly used forceful measures against pro-Palestinian protesters demonstrating in solidarity with civilians in Gaza. Over several incidents in July 2025, German police intervened in peaceful protests, resulting in multiple arrests and reports of police brutality. Footage shows officers striking protesters, restraining a young woman by pressing a knee into her back, and dragging elderly activists through stations. A protest camp named "United for Gaza" near the German parliament was forcibly dismantled by police with a large presence of officers. The demonstrations aimed to denounce Germany's perceived complicity in the Israeli military actions, including arms sales to Israel. Human rights organizations have questioned the official police accounts of these events, citing new footage that contradicts previous statements. The crackdown has drawn criticism for disproportionate use of force against demonstrators advocating against what they describe as Israeli genocide in Gaza.
