Germans rename Anne Frank daycare centre to avoid upsetting immigrant children

Riot police officers bring a pro-Palestinian demonstrator into a police van at Herrmannplatz, Berlin on October 11, 2023, as pro-Palestinian gatherings took place in the German capital despite a police ban, five days after Palestinian militants launched a surprise attack on Israel, which has responded with a massive bombardment of Gaza. Israel is reeling from the deadliest attack in its 75-year history, as more than 1,500 militants stormed through the Gaza security barrier in their coordinated land, air and sea attack on the Jewish Sabbath. Israel has been relentlessly pounding Hamas targets in Gaza in response, and the war has already claimed the lives of more than 3,700 lives of Israeli and Palestinian civilians, soldiers and combatants.
