Berlin police just canceled the entire Palestine Congress. I was the only speaker that successfully finished a speech.

Salman Abu Sitta was cut off after 1 minute. Our livestream ended and electricity cut off.

The speech that I could not deliver because German police burst into our Berlin venue to disband our Palestine Congress (1930s style). Judge for yourselves the kind of society Germany is becoming when its police bans the following words:

Friends,

Here’s what was being said at the precise moment German police stormed the room (see video): “Surviving child w/ all his family killed… children deliberately denied food and water, starved to death and killed when rushing to get food. All means of life systematically destroyed—”
