Red clothing signifies the countless red lines Israel has crossed with impunity
Well over 100,000 people put on red to march today at The Hague in the Netherlands – the seat of the United Nations’ International Court of Justice and International Criminal Court – against Israel’s genocide, with the red clothing signifying the never-ending criminal red lines Israel has crossed in its slaughter of well over 200,000 Palestinian civilians in Gaza, including at least 100,000 children:
The march was timed to commemorate the 77th anniversary of the Nakba, the ‘catastrophe’, of 1948 in which more than 800,000 Palestinian civilians were driven by force from their homes and land, with many massacres and rapes, to create the state of Israel.
On the same day, after already invading the north of Gaza again and murdering over 200 people, Israel began a renewed Gaza-wide ground invasion after weeks of bombing of so-called ‘safe zones’ and the forced starvation of two million people that has pushed more than 300,000 children to the edge of death from malnutrition.

The entire world knows. Politicians do nothing. Why?
An impressive and hopefully impactfull demonstration.
The opening picture reminded me of the evocative display of commemorative poppies that surrounded the Tower of London in 2014
