Huge crowd piles pressure on Dutch government to seek an end to Israel's campaign in Gaza

[bannork]

Tens of thousands of red-clad protesters marched through the Dutch capital on Sunday to demand their government do more to halt Israel’s campaign in Gaza, in what organizers called the country’s biggest demonstration in two decades.

Human rights groups and aid agencies — including Amnesty International, Save the Children and Doctors Without Borders — estimated the peaceful crowd at more than 100,000 people, and the streets of The Hague were packed with the old, young and even some babies on their first protest.

The march took the young family past the Peace Palace, headquarters of the United Nations’ International Court of Justice, where last year judges ordered Israel to do all it can to prevent death, destruction and any acts of genocide in Gaza.

Oh yeah, the Dutch government has the clout to stop Israel.    

 

I don't know why these people side with Gaza.

Can't imagine why anyone sides with Israel!

 

Imagine bombings in your country...

Imagine a bunch of terrorists next door crossing the border and killing 1200 of your citizens.

   Then 1000's of Israelis marching through Tel Aviv telling the Israeli Government to stop your Country from warring with those terrorists who invaded your Country

Instead of just marching and virtue signalling, why dont they do something more useful? They can go to Gaza, live amongst the people, and volunteer their time/skills to help rebuild the territory. Or they can each volunteer to sponsor a Gazan in their homes.

 

But no.   Bitching at the government to "do something" is a lot easier and less personally costly.
