Tonight's pot banging demo in Assen. This is the tenth week in a row that we've gathered outside the railway station on Thursday at 18:00.
Every week we reach more people. A few passers by join in each week, which is always nice to see. The message is spreading.
Free Free Palestine!

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.

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.

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.

The conditions under which Gaza's population is heading into winter are inhumane. But not enough people in my country are paying attention to the issue.
Tonight's was the last pot banging demo outside Assen station this year.
I'm hoping for some kind of Christmas miracle so we don't have to return on the 8th of January.
Unfortunately, with the plight of Palestinians having been pushed out of the news there doesn't seem to be much chance of a rapid improvement so I expect we'll be back next year to continue to try to raise awareness.

I went to Groningen today to protest for Gaza. There's a demo every other week between 13:00 and 14:00 in Groningen. These are quiet demos. We hold up signs and a few people hand out information to anyone who is interested.
Many olive trees which Palestinians rely on to make a living have been destroyed by the Israeli occupation so today they were handing out information about Stichting Plant een Olijfboom, who ask people to make a donation which is equivalent in value to planting an olive tree. You can donate a similar amount to what it costs to buy a Christmas tree.

Groningen was full of Christmas shoppers, and there were bands on the streets playing Christmas music. The whole story revolves around locations in Palestine: Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Nazareth etc. That people listen to these stories, while they ignore what's going on on the ground right now in those locations, is something that I find very strange.

Thank you for protesting and for sharing. I notice that it's very encouraging for me to see that this is happening in other places too.
Here in Antwerp we also have a weekly protest. It has been heavily plagued by police violence and misconduct, but it has been calm now for a few weeks. Keep up the fight ✊ 🇵🇸
