Hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists gathered in the main hall of Amsterdam Central Station at rush hour on Nov. 7 for a sit-in protest and called for a ceasefire in the besieged Gaza Strip.
We don’t live in a direct democracy, we live in a representative one. Our representatives are supposed to, you know, represent us, in putting our government’s resources to action according to our intentions.
This protest might make it to the “achtuurjournaal” and increase political pressure to actually do something. It’s unlikely that it will, but the chances of it doing anything are better than the alternatives.
They should go protest to whom is doing the thing, not to bystanders. Hamas and IDF are doing this so maybe they should contact them?

I’m sure that Hamas will lay down it’s arms and the IDF will immediately retreat from Gaza after receiving an angry call from these people.
So it would be just as effective as these “protests”.

Yawn… yet another worthless white moderate whining that other people’s lives and freedom are less important than his convenience.
