| Brownshirts march in Berlin... |
| 2002-12-10 |
| German neo-Nazis marched through Berlin on Monday in protest at the visit of Israel's president. About 100 supporters of the far-right NPD party gathered in freezing temperatures on Monday evening, holding banners reading "Hands off Palestine — No German Weapons for Israel." "Ein Vaterland, ein Volk!" About 400 counter demonstrators gathered around the police cordon to show support for Israel. Some shouted abuse at the right-wingers. Police lined the route along the central Unter den Linden avenue to keep them and anti-Nazi groups apart. "Jewish blood will flow..." Police said there was no law to prevent the march, although Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder's government is trying to ban the NPD, or National Democratic Party, which it likens to the Nazis. |
