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.

    4-6 million isn’t much better than 150,000? If we go by percentages of the population, it’s more than 3 times higher. If we go by numbers of attendees, it’s something like 30x higher. Also, remember that American college campuses have been protesting this since it began, often resulting in students getting expelled or deported. Sorry that’s not good enough for you.

      1.18 - 1.76% of Americans showed up to protest fascism in their own country.

      0.82 - 1.09% of Dutch showed up to protest genocide thousands of miles away.

      If you can’t understand how there’s a difference here, between standing up for yourself and standing up for others, I don’t know what else to say.

        Or just shut the fuck up because you’re adding absolutely nothing of value and would find some other useless bullshit to complain about even if it was 20% of the country

          There’s the American spirit!

          Emotion and bravado instead of rationality and decorum.

          Now go outside and show Trump that same attitude.

          If it was 20% we wouldn’t be watching the country with the largest nuclear arsenal and the most military bases around the world descend into fascism.

          This affects the world but only Americans can do something about it, the rest of us have to convince you to get off your arses and do it.
