Hundreds of Palestinians and their supporters marched through Berlin, Saturday, to commemorate Al Quds day. Included in the march were dozens of anti-Zionist, Orthodox Jews.
The demonstration was met by several counter protests along the way but a heavy police presence kept the groups apart.
Al-Quds day, which falls on the last day of the month of Ramadan, was introduced in 1979 by late Iranian leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini as a day of protest against Zionism and Israel's control of Jerusalem. Al-Quds is the Arabic name for Jerusalem, and Iran says the day gives them the opportunity to demonstrate their support for the Palestinians and highlight the importance of Jerusalem for Muslims.
