Misbar’s Analysis

Misbar investigated the circulating video and found it to be misleading. The video clip does not depict a demonstration in support of Palestine in Germany, coinciding with the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.

Protest in Germany Against the Alternative for Germany (AfD) Party

The video is from a protest in Germany titled "Enough!" opposing deportation plans led by the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. The clip was posted on the Leipzig nimmt Platz initiative's account on January 15, 2024.

Wir sind heute mit über 10.000 Menschen in Leipzig auf der Straße! Wir stellen uns klar gegen die faschistischen Deportationspläne von AfD und Werteunion und gegen den gesellschaftlichen Rechtsruck! Alle zusammen gegen den Faschismus! #le1501 #zusammengegenrechts #fckafd pic.twitter.com/Jxg2VRmLLs

Protest Against the AfD Party’s Deportation Plan

Thousands participated in the protest organized by German initiatives such as "Leipzig nimmt Platz" against the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party and its deportation plan at Richard Wagner Square in Germany.

This follows the revelation by the investigative journalism network "CORRECTIV" on January 10 of a secret meeting of officials from the AfD party to formulate a plan aiming to deport millions of people from Germany.

According to the network, the plan aims to deport millions of refugees and migrants, sending them back to their respective countries. This has been described by German grassroots initiatives as the "Nazi plan."

The protesters chanted slogans like "No to fascism again," and participants wrote on banners, "No to the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party" and "AfD = Nazi Party for Germany."

Germany Has Declared Its Support for Israel at the ICJ

It is worth mentioning that Germany declared its support for Israel during the ongoing aggression on the Gaza Strip and joined Israel's defense against South Africa's lawsuit at the International Court of Justice. South Africa had filed a lawsuit against Israel, accusing it of "committing genocide against civilians in the Gaza Strip."

The court held hearings on January 11 and 12 to listen to the South African and Israeli defense teams. A decision is expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
