Pro-Palestinian protest in Netherlands challenges govt. stance on Gaza war

Large crowds gathered in Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, to protest against Israel's ongoing military operations in Gaza, condemning the Dutch government for its failure to call out Israel's actions.

Hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters, holding anti-war banners and chanting slogans like "Free Palestine", marched through the streets, urging the Dutch government to take action against Israel's actions in Gaza.

"Since October, I've been going to all the demonstrations with my kids because that's all we can do. I can't believe what I'm seeing with my eyes. I hope this, Inshallah (God willing in Arabic), will end soon because this is not normal. For almost a year, we've been watching blown-up children, blown-up mothers, fathers. I don't have words. It breaks me. It breaks us all. This just has to stop now," said a protester named Marleen.

"We have to stop supporting the Israeli regime and we have to stop providing weapons. It is the end of humanity, and as human beings, we have to make a decision now before it's too late," said Ramin, another protester.

The Palestinian death toll from the ongoing Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip has risen to 40,099, with a total of 92,609 people wounded since the latest round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict began on October 7, 2023, according to health authorities in the besieged Palestinian enclave on Sunday.
