Hundreds of Thousands Form 'Red Line' Around The Hague

The red line the government has failed to set.

COMMON DREAMS STAFF
Jun 15, 2025

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.

“The Dutch cabinet still refuses to draw a red line. That is why we do it, for as long as necessary,” Marjon Rozema of Amnesty International Netherlands said in a statement.

The warmongers, propagandists and complicit media have a shiny new object with Iran. It provides Netanyahu with the shade he needs to hide his crimes in Gaza. This is the worst period for the people of Gaza, the final stretch before they are so exhausted, despairing and malnourished that they would "willingly" be driven into the Sinai to escape their hellish circumstances.

Good to see people of conscience protesting this evil. For now at least in Europe they still have the right to protest on behalf of Palestinians. May Europe not go the way of the U.S. in suppressing pro-Palestinian speech.

Thanks for posting.

Keep your eyes on Gaza. They're being slaughtered every day by the IOF.

Stop the genocide.
