Hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists gathered in the main hall of Amsterdam Central Station at rush hour on Nov. 7 for a sit-in protest and called for a ceasefire in the besieged Gaza Strip.
This protest might make it to the “achtuurjournaal” and increase political pressure to actually do something. It’s unlikely that it will, but the chances of it doing anything are better than the alternatives.
Is one of those alternatives returning the hostages, laying down arms, and negotiating for peace? Because I feel like that’s a much better alternative that’s far more likely to end this conflict, and also something that Palestinians can do to end this immediately. Definitely more effective than shutting down train stations in unrelated countries.
So it would be just as effective as these “protests”.
