All Eyes on Gaza / Zusammen für Gaza
Profile of the solidarity protests on September 27, 2025
This working paper analyzes two protest events that took place in Berlin on September 27, 2025, under the titles “All Eyes on Gaza – Stop the Genocide” and “Together for Gaza,” bringing tens of thousands of people onto the streets. Both protests are part of a prolonged, transnational wave of mobilization that refers to the systematic destruction and humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, which numerous experts classify as genocide, and responds to the restriction of solidarity with Palestine in Germany. The core of the paper is a systematic breakdown of the results of a standardized survey of participants at the demonstrations. It examines the sociodemographic profile of the protesters, their political attitudes and protest experiences, their motivations, and their perceptions of the social context in Germany. The results provide new insights into the dynamics, composition, and motives of Palestine solidarity protests in Germany, especially when compared with data from previous ipb demonstration surveys on other topics.
