Pro-Palestinian demonstrators angry at the way the German government is acting on the war Israel in Gaza disrupted the holding of a civil forum with the participation of the German foreign minister, reported DPA, quoted by BTA.
Analena Berbok participated in a discussion on "Stormy times - how foreign policy guarantees the security of our democracy" during a weekend dedicated to the adoption of the German constitution 75 years ago.
Several demonstrators in the theater began shouting at Berbock, accusing the German government of one-sidedness in the war and demanding that Berlin cut off arms supplies to Israel. Some held placards reading "Stop the Genocide".
At first, Berbock responded calmly, saying that Germany was working for Israelis and Palestinians to live in peace.
One protester, who described herself as an "anti-Zionist Jew,", said that when it comes to the war, freedom of expression in Germany is limited. With Germany's help, she said, Gaza had been reduced to "rubble and ashes".
According to DPA data, at least eight participants were forced to leave the venue. In some cases, there were scuffles and physical confrontations with security personnel.
Berbok asked the guards not to use violence against the demonstrators.
Meanwhile, many of the other spectators reacted to the protest with loud boos.
