Child Participation in Pro-Palestinian Protests Raises Concerns in Berlin
Recent pro-Palestinian demonstrations in Berlin have spotlighted the involvement of children, some as young as ten, who chant controversial slogans calling for the end of Israel’s existence. Observers, including Levi Salomon from the Jewish Forum, criticize this as ‘education for hatred’ that perpetuates anti-Semitism. The Berlin police are increasingly noting that minors are actively engaged, prompting investigations into parental neglect of care duties. While children may legally participate in protests, there are growing concerns when they are involved in violent or illegal activities, leading to calls for greater oversight.
