Action groups will protest again on Thursday against the famine in Gaza. They do this at the stations in Breda, Den Bosch, Eindhoven and Tilburg. Last week hundreds of people were also present here to draw attention to the miserable situation in the area.
The promotion is a national ‘sit-in’. Protesters are then on the floor and make as much noise as possible with pans, pots, plates and spoons. “Let’s make noise with what they don’t have: eat,” writes the Den Bosch for Palestine group on Instagram.
Palestine Solidarity Tilburg (PST) writes: ‘Last week thousands of people went to central stations throughout the Netherlands. This week we will continue – louder, bigger and more united. Hunger death in Gaza has not stopped, so we don’t. “
