Amsterdam Protesters Rally for Gaza - Netherlands

Amsterdam Protesters Rally for Gaza - Netherlands

Thousands Protest in Central Amsterdam for Gaza, Target U.S. Consulate — Protesters fill central Amsterdam on July 31, 2025, to demand an end to the famine and blockade in Gaza. The demonstration begins with a loud sit-in at Amsterdam Central Station, where participants bang on pots and pans to criticize Western inaction and highlight the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Marchers move through the city waving Palestinian flags, chanting, and stopping outside international franchises such as Starbucks and McDonald’s to call out perceived corporate complicity. At the U.S. Consulate, red paint is thrown on the building’s windows in a symbolic act representing bloodshed, and one protester chains himself to the wall in protest of U.S. policy. The protest remains nonviolent but confrontational, reflecting a growing movement across Europe calling for an end to the Israeli siege and international accountability.
