Activists Disrupt Booking Boat at Pride - Amsterdam

Activists jump into the water near the Hortus Bridge to block the passage of the Booking.com boat during the 29th Canal Pride parade in Amsterdam, Netherlands, on August 2, 2025. The protest targets the travel company’s inclusion on a UN blacklist for allegedly facilitating tourism in Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank by allowing listings of properties built on disputed land. Five activists are arrested for disrupting public order. Despite the incident, the annual pride event continues with vibrant festivities, drawing hundreds of thousands of spectators who line the canals to celebrate LGBTQ+ rights, diversity, and inclusion. The Canal Pride parade is one of Europe’s most iconic LGBTQ+ events, known for its flotilla of colorfully decorated boats and festive atmosphere. This year’s edition proceeds largely without major disruptions aside from the brief protest action. Photo by Wahaj Bani Moufleh/Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM
