Several organisations in Eindhoven have organised a large demonstration on 18 Septemberplein on Saturday to speak out against “the genocide in Gaza.”
The Palestinian community, several Eindhoven Muslim organisations, and Eindhoven4Palestine have organised the demonstration. According to those organisations, genocide is taking place in Gaza. This claim does not come out of the blue. In November United Nations experts already warned about a genocide of Palestinians.
According to the organisers, the Netherlands are complicit in this because the outgoing cabinet supports Israel’s right to “self-defense. The organisations therefore want Brabant politicians and administrators to speak out against the violence of war in Gaza. The organisations also want Brabant companies to sever ties with Israeli companies.
Various speakers were heard on the 18 Septemberplein from 2 p.m. on Saturday, followed by a march through the centre and the area around the Kruisstraat.
