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.

      Elected officials do not care. But a protest at the Hague may actually move the needle on action.

          Trump does not care. Vance does not care. Johnson does not care. Thune does not care. The Supreme Court does not care. Netanyahu does not care give a single flying fuck.

          The only hope is to put pressure on independent agencies like the Hague.
