Pot banging for Gaza outside Assen railway station again tonight. We wouldn't have to do it if the Israeli's could behave in a civilized way and stopped murdering Palestinians.

Two weeks have passed since I posted a photo of the weekly pot-banging demonstration, but that doesn't mean it wasn't happening. Last Thursday, and the Thursday before I was amongst those protesting against the continuing Israeli genocide of Palestinians at the station in Assen. The "ceasefire" hasn't stopped the killing. Hundreds of Palestinians continue to die at the hands of the Israeli army in Gaza and at the hands of the "settlers" in the West Bank.
This must stop.
There's not a lot of that people living in Western nations can do directly, but we can very easily commit to never buying Israeli goods and services, or those from companies linked to Israel, and by voting for politicians who will try to raise the subject internationally.

Weekly demonstration for Palestine by the station in Assen. Yesterday was UN World Children's Day so as well as making a noise we also had a reading of the names of children who have been murdered by Israel. Over the last two years, Israel has killed children in Gaza at an average rate of about one per hour. Over 20000 innocent lives cut short by the genocidal state of Israel. The horrors have not ended and nor have our protests.
From a personal point of view as a citizen of a country in Europe we have limited options, but we can all choose not to buy Israeli goods, not to support companies who trade with Israel and to vote for politicians who seek justice and who do not support Israel.

Back at Assen station yesterday evening for the weekly pot banging demonstration to support Palestinians.
Plenty of people were supportive yesterday. They took leaflets, joined us to bang pots for a bit, or just waved support.

Having got wet cycling through the rain and with the lower temperature going into winter it felt a bit cold for pot banging outside the station tonight, but I didn't mind. Life is easy for me. I have a warm home to come back to, unlike the people in Gaza who's homes have been destroyed and who are still being bombed by the genocidal Israeli state despite the so called #ceasefire

Pot banging again outside Assen station this evening. It's clear that there is no end on sight to the awful treatment of Palestinians at the hands of Israelis.

Tonight we not only made a noise with pans but also sang Bella Ciao together a few times, which made a pleasant change.

What have we seen so far today with the so-called "ceasefire" ? 70 more Gazans killed by the genocidal state of Israel. So we met again earlier this evening to bang pots and make a noise.

It's mostly a peaceful demonstration, but today we were visited by a crazy Zionist man who marched up to us, started arguing loudly with one of the women at the demo and and then started to shove another woman. Luckily this was seen by two police who very efficiently told him to get lost.

The genocide continues.

Israel just illegally intercepted the sumud flotilla in international waters.

The Netherlands is still not taking any real action against Israel.

Pot banging tonight in Assen and every Thursday by the railway station at 18:00 until we have justice.

Pot banging protest in Assen this evening. It happens every week at 18:00 outside the railway station.
We need more attention to Israel's genocide against the Palestinian people.
