Tens of thousands of people demonstrated in Amsterdam, the Dutch capital, on Sunday to condemn the ongoing violence against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, carrying banners that read “Stop the Genocide.”
Organizers of the demonstration, held under the banner “Red Line,” estimated the number of participants at around 200,000. The demonstrators, many of whom wore red, called on the Dutch government to take action against Israel.
“Stop supplying Israel with weapons,” said Steven Eisinger, who wore a red scarf around his neck, during the demonstration.
The 30-year-old American, who lives in Amsterdam, 5, “I am Jewish, and I have family members living in Israel, but I wanted to express my support for Palestine and my opposition to the genocide.”
A ceasefire has been in effect in the Gaza Strip since October 10, 2025, following two years of war that began on October 7 of the previous year.
