"The most prominent speaker present was politician Sahra Wagenknecht, one of the organizers of the demonstration and the founder of the political party, the economically left-wing, politically conservative Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance. Many well-known artists also took to the stage, including actor Dieter Hallervorden, musician Peter Maffay, and rappers Massiv and Bausa. The very diverse group was united in its clear message to the federal government: "Provide active and meaningful support for peace negotiations in both the Middle East and Ukraine.""
"Demonstrators also called for all arms deliveries to war zones to be stopped. "We are all here because we are raising our voices against the inhumane wars in this world," said Wagenknecht. "We also condemn the terrible massacre carried out by Hamas and the hostage-taking." But none of this justifies "indiscriminately bombing, murdering, starving, and displacing two million people in the Gaza Strip, half of whom are children," said the politician."
More than 10,000 people gathered in front of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin on September 13 under the rallying cry "Stop the genocide in Gaza." Participants also protested Russia's unlawful war against Ukraine. Sahra Wagenknecht, organizer and founder of the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance, was the most prominent speaker. Well-known artists including Dieter Hallervorden, Peter Maffay, Massiv and Bausa performed.
