Hundreds of Thousands Form 'Red Line' Around The Hague
-
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.

That's a protest that might actually accomplish something.

Why We're Organizing No Kings Protests on Saturday--A king is only a king if we bow down
For the would-be dictator, success depends on projecting power and creating an aura of inevitability. They need you to believe that Trump is the new normal, that the MAGA movement will be in power for the long haul, that the only rational move is to go along, keep your head down, and protect your own interests.
In short, it requires a countless number of people in a countless number of places to do something that the Trump regime doesn’t want them to do, or to NOT do something the Trump regime wants them to do. That’s how we shake off the aura of inevitability and halt the autocratic breakthrough.
For that to happen, people need to feel like we’re part of something bigger. We need to understand that we’re part of a movement. We need to feel like we will win.

Faux News: "the world's largest collection of antisemites gathered around the Hague to demand the death of all Jewish people! Stay tuned to hear why they hate you specifically and want your family dead!"

I really question the hundreds of thousands, in a city of half a million of people - that would mean that half of the city. Thats definitely fake news. Even in the picture if the article it says suddenly tens of thousands. Sounds all a bit fish tbh

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

You're doubting all major Dutch news organisations?

protests accomplish a lot, but not by protests alone.
for example: sending a message to elected officials, increasing awareness, bringing like minded people together to work on the problem they’re addressing. -

you can’t put all elected officials in the same basket, at the very least, they care about getting elected again and a huge protest threatens that….

They all say 150.000 which is tens of thousands and not hundreds of thounds. Its an impressive number no need to pretend its more. That just makes the news outlet look bad

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

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I figured it would be helpful to show how close everything together it's in the Netherlands and how many people live in a small area.
If you just look at the stats for the Hague, like you did it is kind of hard to understand where so many people come from. I took it that it must be someone who is not from Europe. Hence the American metaphor for distance (and the milage instead of kilometers)

Trump does not care. Vance does not care. Johnson does not care. Thune does not care. The Supreme Court does not care. Netanyahu does not
caregive a single flying fuck.The only hope is to put pressure on independent agencies like the Hague.

I am from Europe and know the Netherlands well. Even if all is close by, the number was a bit to big. And looking at other news outlets, it was. Not even the organisers say that number.

People came from all over the Netherlands, it's not a big commute to take. In 1983 555.000 people protested against nuclear weapons. That was back when there where 4 million fewer people in the country. So 150.000 is far from impossible.

If the numbers of 4-6 million are true then less than 2% of Americans showed up. The pictures of big crowds was impressive, but that's not enough. To the outside world, it looks like you have bowed down.
Take inspiration from this protest in The Netherlands and chastise your neighbours, your colleagues, your friends and family, to march, or this time next year America may just be a fully fledged fascist state with no personal freedom.

150,000 is 1.5 hundreds of thousands.
