Mass Protests Sweep Europe Over Israel’s Gaza Flotilla Raid | Vantage On Firstpost | N18G

Tensions flare across Europe as thousands protest Israel’s interception of the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla. In Barcelona, protesters lit bonfires and hurled objects at buildings, but police were quickly deployed, preventing any clashes. Israel faced global condemnation after armed soldiers boarded around 40 ships attempting to deliver aid, arresting over 400 foreign activists, including climate campaigner Greta Thunberg. Protesters accused stores like Starbucks, Burger King, and Carrefour of complicity, vandalising property in the city. Rallies also erupt in Dublin, Paris, Berlin, Geneva, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, and Karachi, as public anger grows over the flotilla raid.

- On this day in history, in 1990, East and West Germany reunited, less than a year after the destruction of the Berlin Wall. Since 1945, Soviet forces occupied eastern Germany, and the Allied forces occupied the western half of the nation at the close of World War II. A divided Germany became one of the most enduring symbols of the Cold War. For many, the reunification of Germany effectively marked the end of the Cold War.
