At Least We Are Many: Resisting the Drums of War

The Hague—On June 15, I marched with 150,000 other people in The Hague against Israel’s war in Gaza. Toddlers in open windows waved Palestinian flags. We waved back. In the four hours I was out there, I saw maybe a dozen cops—and zero assault rifles. At one point, I started weeping, and an old man who had been holding a sign that said “Imagine… Today is FATHER’S DAY!”—with glued-on pictures of Palestinian fathers and children—nodded and smiled gently toward me, affirming what was happening in a way I can feel in my fingertips as I type.
