No worries, we have the most extreme right wing coalition ever in power - everything for the industry, big money, war, etc. Fun detail: the fake liberals where Mark Rutte NATO clown used to be the head of is part of this clown coalition. And they are still part of the EU 'liberal' block. Fun stuff.
Israel needs to be shutdown, this is nothing but genocide now. Any country that supports the murderous invasion should also be protested and boycotted.
I understand the retaliation but it is long past due to stop!
The trains to The Hague were packed, it was a 1,5 hr. "walk" from the trainstaion to Malieveld (600 meters). So many Lovely People 🥰

Israel would not be possible if if were not for the US giving it protection. And the fact that we do says much about who and what controls our State Dept.
Israel has been humping our leg ever since the Arab oil embargo of the 70s. And swaying US Christians to support it.
Yes, US corp media has done an *abysmally* bad job of meeting the moment. And yes, one aspect of that is its failure to cover protests. But did you see the size of the crowds in the footage above? Media wd surely cover that; it wd almost *have* to; whether it did or not, tho, folks wd see it.
Sorry this will be a iongresponse...I think Americans often don't understand size of European city protests are 1. a factor of the existence of affordable travel infrastructure (a cheap train ticket from NYC to DC and back (not far) is hundreds of dollars, the price of multi-month eurorail passes)
2. The large church networks used to organize the 1963 march on Washington simply no longer e3. all the people at The Hague could be home in time for dinner whereas most Americans would need overnight accommodations if visiting DC.
4. intentional destruction of left-leaning nonprofit spaces in DC proper, in which groups like ACLU used to have multiple buildings and now do not, limiting who can serve as hosts. 5. the effect of generally racist anti-homeless measures in DC removing bathrooms, parking spaces and water fountains,
Unfortunately, the ICC doesn't have jurisdiction over Israel or the US as neither are members of the ICC. The US also didn't sign on to the Rome Statute even though we helped write most of it.
We were dressed in red so that we would form a red line as we marched, to encourage our government to draw a red line. Whatever your view of the history, the actions of the Israeli government have gone too far.

The participation and principled position of my Jewish compatriots at https://www.eajg.nl/english/ was decisive when I was debating whether to take part. Worth reading what they have to say.
Gaza would look like it did on 6OCT if Hamas and their supporters didn't attack,murder, and steal civilians on 7OCT. They started the war so Israel and Syria couldn't work on normalizing relations.. Hamas and it's supporters F'd up big time. Release the hostages.
The problem is that the leader of the biggest party in the Dutch government, just like Trump and his MAGA people, claim that being critical of Israel equals being antisemitism and jew hating.
Like Miss Rachel....you can be against the Israel govt and not be antisemitic. Just like you can support the Palestinian people but not support Hamas...
slaughtered to 15M~ and yet was precursor to 4B~. That and dismissal or moving forward from far worse histories - the past is imperfect for all parties, but furtherance is not the answer.
And, tragically, so many young people don’t get it. Asked ‘what river’ and ‘what sea’ - they couldn’t answer.
Came here to say this. Sporadic marches with a couple hundred ppl ain't gonna do it! They must all get together for very massive marches across the country. They just aren't enuf showing up! 🤯
They are not long enough, one day doesn’t cut it. It must be sustained for a long period of time. The government knows those marches change nothing, nada. Until the demonstrations are serious, it’s just the same ole same ole.
We have become treated like animals. Whenever they want to feed us, they send us some food, and we all wait for the knife that will kill. This powerful world has the right to kill under the guise of democracy and self-defense. How long will we become numbers while the killing counter continues?🇪🇭
The 'TalkGold and MoneyMakerGroup' scandals have not been forgotten. Why does 'Krassenstein scandal' get so many hits on Google? I did find a link that might help. The title is 'Why is Ed Krassenstein Such a Douche?'
The reason you don’t hear from democrats on this issue is because of the political action PAC’s that would prinary them out of existence! We need to eliminate Political Action PAC’s and limit personal donations to elections ! We need to bring this back to the people!
I only wish they had protested with the same resolve against Hamas and the Palestinians cheering Hamas for the murder of innocent babies and children and elderly on October 7.
1/2: In the 1980s, the US sold arms to Iran via Israel - over 2K TOW & Hawk missiles, secretly funding Nicaragua Contras. US-trained Salvadoran forces massacred 800 civilians at El Mozote & murdered Archbishop Romero during Mass. These actions were detailed in the 1993 UN Truth Commission report.
2/2: Israel delivered US-made weapons to Iran & trained Salvadoran forces in counterinsurgency. These programs enabled operations that targeted civilians & clergy. Today, similar dynamics are seen in Gaza, where US arms & intel spt continue amid use of disproportionate force & civilian deaths.
Hamas, representing Iran and several Arab countries, wants these demonstrations. That's why they haven't released all the hostages and agreed to stop attacking Israelis. Israel is trying to eliminate Hamas and has seriously damaged Hezbollah, but Arabs will weaponize and sacrifice other groups.
Israel is trying to wipe out the Palestinian people. A people that lived through a genocide (israelis) committing a genocide themselves. Hard to imagine .
You are mistaken. Israel is defending itself against Iranian and Arab sponsored terrorists whose stated mission is to replace Israel with an ISLAMIC state. After losing seven million in REAL genocides, Jews decided they need their own Jewish-run state for half of the the world's remaining Jews.
But then they went and fucked it up. Those idiot Zoomers couldn't wait to broadcast it on TikTok and now the world overwhelmingly hates Israel. I doubt their ancestors look down on them with pride. Just a sad, lost tribe.
Come on Americans! There's a lot more of us than there are of Europeans. Well, no, there are 2x as many Europeans, but we can do this! You know many of these people traveled to participate. We can, too.
We the people are sick of the slaughter & ASHAMED of our western governments for allowing this to continue
Joe Biden (regardless of cancer) in his zionistic condemnation of Hamas (instead of stopping & THINKING about it) just gave carte Blanche permission to Netanyahu to facilitate murdering

I believe that he has been charged by the International Criminal Court - but I am not sure where that goes and why he is still in charge for Israel. https://www.icc-cpi.int/defendant/netanyahu
Israel isn’t a
signatory of the Rome Statue that governs the ICC so he can’t be arrested there and taken to The Hague. He has to be arrested by a signatory country so is careful where he travels. 125 countries are signatories. However the USA isn’t one.
Great stuff
Yes, you are right about the complete media blackout over the magnitude of these protest events. Apparently AIPAC and their UK, European counterparts are able to make vast gatherings of people disappear from national view.
Millions of dollars of Hate Network funding ensures that.
same thing is happening here in the US..nationwide protests against tRump and the GOP, hundreds of thousands of folks, more than one, and the mainstream media has practically ignored them..there will be another on 14 June that is going to be hard for them to brush under the rug
It's nice to see but why the fuck is everybody so late to the goddamn party!!! The genocide that Israel has been committing on the Palestinians have been going on for years now everybody shows up after thousands are dead, thousands are dead. I guess better late than never?
Apologies. That was because it was the only wikipedia page i could find about it (was in a hurry). This was the half a million one... In The Hauge. 40 years ago.
Not that it really matters, the Dutch people don't do huge protests, most people don't believe in them. This demo 40 years ago was more than half a million people and the folks in power still figured: lets get the nukes. They always do what they want - is the general idea. Even now.

Now is the time for workers of the world to unite & down those tools that make the weapons that are then sent to kill the children of Gaza.
PLAY YOUR PART IN PEACE!
This is what a crowd looks like.
Even you hate kamala on gaza, if she was in office, you could protest against just gaza and have a consistent message... Generally speaking.
Trump is a protesting nightmare.
FREE FREE PALESTINE
Silence into the rest of the world, bah 🤢
Israel has repeatedly offered new distributions conditional on Hamas allowing direct distribution to civilians. Hamas rejected.

They’re all wearing red. Which in their case is a good thing.
We need to be wearing Blue Blue Blue at every Protest.
Blue is def not the color that is gonna save US. 4 years to arrest Trump and they didn’t, it shows their incompetence.
I wore blue for the first 50501 protest and I’ll wear blue from now on.
Nothing will ever change without consequences!!
AID MUST BE ALLOWED IN NOW
Maar dat doet niets af aan deze geweldige opkomst!
I think my money would be pretty safe if I bet the UK msm won't have this on their front pages tomorrow 🤷♀️
That this many people turned out for this event makes a mockery of the sacrifices made by those who liberated them.

Democrats are garbage who don't believe in anything but power and their billionaire owners, especially Israel.
May the democratic party die out and take the other garbage party with them. No votes for genocide or capitalism ever again. This empire must die.

🙄🙄🙄🙄
The reason we are all dressed in red, is our prime minister refused to draw a line on GAZA/Israël.
The protesters marched 3 miles, representing a long red line. So this is a symbolic red line, one not to cross.
