We had a huge protest in the Hague yesterday with 100.000 people protesting against the Dutch government's stance on Israel. I was there as well. It got sort of coopted by liberals though with some political parties that were silent or supported the genocide taking part. But this protest shows that the people support the Palestinian people. But I feel like this protest was kind of wasted. 100.000 people could've shut the city down. We could've squatted the parliament building, but instead we were walking around the city and the government probably won't listen to us. Although there is more pressure on them now, which is good.
what kind of rhetoric did the liberals politicians who participated use? im curious how about the tactics, because i imagine we'll see more of it across europe soon
I think a lot of people who were present don't think that Palestine needs to be free, but just think that Israel went too far. Some people who shouted from the river to the sea, were literally heckled.
sounds about right
