    They should go protest to whom is doing the thing, not to bystanders. Hamas and IDF are doing this so maybe they should contact them?

      We don’t live in a direct democracy, we live in a representative one. Our representatives are supposed to, you know, represent us, in putting our government’s resources to action according to our intentions.

      I’m sure that Hamas will lay down it’s arms and the IDF will immediately retreat from Gaza after receiving an angry call from these people.

        So it would be just as effective as these “protests”.

          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.

              You do realize the ones shutting down the train stations and the ones in charge of Hamas are not the same group? Pretty stupid to compare them like that. It’s like saying having murderers stop murdering is more effective than having police hunt down murderers and capturing them.
