Recent pro-Palestinian demonstrations in Germany, particularly in Berlin and Dortmund, have sparked significant debate. Berlin's Neukölln mayor, Martin Hikel, and Interior Senator Iris Spranger call for tougher police responses to increasingly aggressive protests. Since the October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks, Berlin has seen 700 rallies, with 6,000 related criminal cases under investigation. Concerns arise over the glorification of Hamas, with some questioning police aggression.

Controversy also surrounds Greta Thunberg, who criticized German authorities for silencing activists. Her involvement led to the prohibition of a protest camp in Dortmund. Critics accuse Thunberg of one-sidedness after her solidarity with Palestinians and her accusations of genocide against Israel.

The situation is further complicated by accusations of instrumentalizing minors in protests and heightened fears of violence and antisemitism. Calls for stricter measures persist, with CDU politicians demanding an entry ban on Thunberg, arguing she incites hatred against Israel. Amidst this tension, figures like Charlotte Knobloch express concern over youth radicalization, highlighting the complex intersection of activism, security, and freedom of expression.
