(Jerusalem Post) Activists of the Israeli government-designated terrorist NGO Samidoun chanted antisemitic and anti-Israeli slogans at the far-left “revolutionary May 1st demonstration,” according to a video taken at the rally published on Twitter by the German Jewish organization Jüdisches Forum (JFDA).

This comes in spite of a number of bans and limitations announced by the Berlin police before the rally, meant to prevent such chants from happening again.

In the video, the Samidoun activists can be heard shouting “Boycott Israel!” and “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!”

Berlin police announced bans

Berlin police confirmed that they had begun legal proceedings against the activists.
