Hundreds of thousands of people dressed in red marched through the streets of The Hague on Sunday to demand more action against the “genocide” in Gaza.

NGOs such as Amnesty International, Save the Children, Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders), and Oxfam organized the demonstration, which ran through the city to the International Court of Justice. The protesters were all dressed in red, creating a “red line”.

Organisers described it as the country’s largest demonstration in two decades. Many waving Palestinian flags and some chanting “Stop the Genocide”, the demonstrators turned a central park in the city into a sea of red on a sunny afternoon.

    FYI, the number ranges from 6 million to 13 million. People were yelling and one even needed a 4 hour surgery to fix his eye from being shot with a rubber bullet. Why aren’t you congratulating the huge number that did come out instead of spreading your negativity around? I guess I’ve heard your ballads, so that might explain some of that.

    FYI, Americans prefer kudos over anger when they do something great.

      The original numbers were 4-6 million, it’s only recently been corrected to 13 million by some sources.

      4-6 million is pathetic. 13 million is a lot better.

      Of course I’m negative when it looks like less than 2 out of 100 of you can be arsed to oppose fascism.

      Well done for finally waking up, but you haven’t done great yet. Keep going. Until Trump and his ilk are gone you haven’t achieved anything but let off some steam.

      Keep up the momentum!

      Is that better? 🥕🥕🥕🥕

        Nope, but at least you’re trying.

        Edit: Remember, a huge number of people that would protest have either been deported or are afraid of being deported. We’re dealing with the baddies after all.
