Demonstration i Haag lockade rekordmånga deltagare
En stor demonstration för Gaza och Palestina har hållits i Haag i Nederländerna under söndagen. Bland arrangörerna fanns rättighetsgrupper som Amnesty International och Oxfam. Enligt arrangörerna deltog omkring 150 000 människor.
”Titta inte bort”, och ”Stoppa holländsk medbrottslighet”, stod det skrivet på plakat och banderoller som bars under protesten, enligt TT.
Demonstrationståget passerade Internationella domstolen (ICJ), där frågan om huruvida Israels krigföring ska karaktäriseras som folkmord behandlas.
Liknande manifestationer har hållits i flera europeiska storstäder under dagen.
bakgrund
Protesterna mot Gazakriget
Wikipedia (en)
The Gaza war has sparked protests, demonstrations, and vigils around the world. These protests focused on a variety of issues related to the conflict, including demands for a ceasefire, an end to the Israeli blockade and occupation, return of Israeli hostages, protesting war crimes, ending US support for Israel and providing humanitarian aid to Gaza. Since the war began on 7 October 2023, the death toll has exceeded 50,000.
Some of the protests have resulted in violence and accusations of antisemitism and anti-Palestinianism. In some European countries, and Palestine itself, protestors were criminalized, with countries such as France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Hungary restricting pro-Palestinian political speech, while Hamas in Gaza tortured and executed anti-Hamas demonstrators. The conflict also sparked large protests at Israeli and U.S. embassies around the world.
Research by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project indicated that from 7 October to 24 November 2023, there were at least 7,283 pro-Palestinian protests and 845 pro-Israel protests around the world.
