GERMANY has been accused of attempting to criminalise the Palestinian resistance via legislation that would ban the display of Hamas flags.

The move comes weeks after tens of thousands of people took to the streets across the country demanding freedom, justice and liberation for Palestine during Israel’s 11-day bombardment of Gaza.
