As the city marked the 80th anniversary of Dutch liberation at the end of World War Two in Europe, around 250 to 300 protesters, according to local media estimates, gathered to voice opposition to Israel’s war against the people of Gaza and demand the Dutch government speak out against it.
They held signs reading “Not then, not now, never again” and “Don’t give hate power”, a Reuters witness saw.
They also held an 80-metre (262 ft) long red banner, with an accompanying text that described it as a symbol of “the red line the government refuses to draw”, referring to the Dutch government.
