Decision not to light up Brandenburg Gate for Russia terror victims stirs up debate
The Brandenburg Gate on Monday. After a man rammed a truck into a group of Israeli soldiers in January, killing four, the Brandenburg Gate was lit up with the Israeli flag. The Brandenburg Gate lit up after attacks in recent years. When a man who swore allegiance to Isis shot and killed 49 people in a gay Orlando nightclub last year, the Brandenburg Gate was awash in a rainbow flag. “The ruling mayor made the decision that the Brandenburg Gate will only be illuminated because of terror acts in partner cities,” a city spokesperson told local broadcaster rbb last week.
