New Red Line demonstration announced, organizers call for mass turnout

Pro-Palestinian organizations, including Amnesty International, Save the Children, and Plant een Olijfboom, have organized a large protest titled 'De Rode Lijn voorbij' to take place on November 8. Participants are requested to wear red clothing to signify resistance and solidarity as they gather at the Museumplein. The demonstration follows a similar event held last year and aims to draw a significant crowd to the city streets.

The organizers are demanding that the Netherlands significantly increase diplomatic, political, and economic pressure on Israel. Specifically, they are calling for a complete halt to all direct and indirect arms trade with the nation. Furthermore, the groups argue that existing import bans on goods from Israeli settlements are insufficient. They are advocating for a comprehensive ban on all trade and investments that they claim facilitate the occupation, ethnic cleansing, and genocide of Palestinians.
