An activist has been arrested in Berlin for holding up a "Jews Against Genocide" banner outside a Palestine conference.
The man, reportedly a German member of Jewish Voice for Peace, had held the banner outside the Palestine Congress event, which was also set to featured Palestinian doctor Ghassan Abu Sittah before he was denied entry to the country.
"Outside our Palestine Congress in Berlin, a German Jewish member of Jewish Voice for Peace has been arrested, for holding up a sign reading 'Jews against Genocide', by German police for... anti-semitism," tweeted Yanis Varoufakis, another speaker at the event.
