Also same in the Central Railway Station of Helsinki, Finland. Apparently an organic protest without a spokesperson. Protests require to be notified to the police beforehand here so this was a surprise
It is greatly worrying that the violence there is spilling over to our country.
The protestors are right and the government is wrong.
Not in our name. We want no part in crimes against civilians in this Israel-Hamas conflict.
be careful if you’re jewish or queer when you attend these!
Why?
There’s been violence towards Jews and Queers during these rallies.
Dude’s a Zionist antisemitic fearmongerer.
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.
Hamas and IDF are doing this so maybe they should contact them?
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.
Yawn… yet another worthless white moderate whining that other people’s lives and freedom are less important than his convenience.
So happy I do not live in a big city right now. So annoying to be blocked by these people when trying to get anywhere.
You should also be happy you are not unfortunate to live either in Gaza or West Bank too. Because if you were I am sure you would have looked at this from a different angle.
I mean there are a ton of bad stuff happening many places. Don’t understand why I should care so much about this one.
Because if no one cares about those things they won’t change.
forming a protest march in a city thousands of miles away from the theater of war isnt going to change anything either - if it did, the huge protests in London, etc would have done something.
So let’s sit and watch how thousands of innocent lives are destroyed? Is this your solution? Or what solution do you suggest?
lol that’s the point. Complain to your local “leader” that their actions (or lack of) are causing you discomfort

Hurry is just what the elite wants you to feel. Stop blaming those who do what needs to be done

Fascists getting upvotes on lemmy, lmao.
You fucks are all about freedom until it inconveniences you. Then you start talking about protests like they’re terrorists. It’s always the same bullshit cherry-picked stories about ambulances too.
So fucking predictable.
I mean if they want to get government to do something… Storm actual government and protest there. These were weak and "safe’ protest alternatives that don’t actually help a cause and actively turns many people against it.
If you feel your government is not responding well the message should be made to government. Not your fellow citizen trying to get to work or in this case visit sick family.

lol holding hostages, get over yourself!
because the elite wants him to feel so?
More or less
The story doesn’t tell why they left late in a hurry. Was it because the elite making them work to make a fat cat richer?

Causing disruption is the point, you call your leaders to put further pressure on them to help resolve an act of genocide( in the instance). I have experienced protesters outside my house for a year(I used to live downtown in a major city) and I was always happy to see the masses standing up injustice when I had no idea of the issue. It’s informative and good to know people still have compassion.
If you life is shittier because of a mild inconvenience then you should re evaluate some things friend. I hope you see the light
It’s a sign that you can’t continue living your life just the way you do. It’s a wake-up call, you dipshit.
I absolutely can though? Looking forward to the next news cycle as this is getting kinda boring.
