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.

    You know the Netherlands is about 16,040 sq m, where about 18 million people live.

    For some Americans crossing the entire country is an acceptable daily commute

      Why bring America to the discussion, if its about a protest in Europe about a war in Asia?

        …protest in Europe about a war in Asia?

        I don’t think the Middle East is part of Asia

        EDIT: I’m stupid “Palestine, officially the State of Palestine, is a country in West Asia.”
