Pot banging for Gaza outside Assen station this evening. Other horrors come and go but the abysmal treatment of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank carries on. The world's press is looking elsewhere, but Israel remains a genocidal state supported by the USA, with a leader wanted who is wanted by the ICC. #bds #BoycottIsrael #boycottusa #potbangingforgaza #gaza #palestine #assen

Israel's genocide continues and we were pot banging for Gaza outside Assen station this evening. Palestinians deserve justice, freedom and self determination. Not whatever will result from Trump's "board of peace". #potbangingforgaza #gaza #palestine #israel #israelgenocidalstate #Assen #bds #BoycottIsrael #boycottusa

Pot banging for Gaza outside Assen station this evening. Palestinean people are still being killed, still being starved, and many still have no shelter. (There was apparently an attempt to cancel tonight's protest, because of the weather warning, but those of us who don't use fascist owned social media didn't receive the notification) #potbangingforgaza #gaza #palestine #israel #IsraelTerroristState #bds #BDSUSA #boycottusa #BoycottIsrael #gazagenocide

Photos from last Thursday and this evening of the weekly protest for Gaza at Assen railway station. Last week we were pot banging, as we do most weeks. This week we listened in silence as names of Palestinians killed by the Israelis were read out. Each name is read out with the age of the deceased. In one hour we had time only for a small fraction of the dead. There's time to remember only a few hundred out of the tens of thousands who have been killed. Clearly many people were touched by the message, especially when they heard the names of young children. Many people took leaflets. Hopefully many of them will at the very least be prepared to join the boycott of Israeli goods. Who wouldn't be affected by the murder of infants ? #potbangingforgaza #assen #bds #boycottisrael #israeliWarCrimes #palestine #gaza

Today's demo for Gaza outside Assen railway station. A lot of people joined in today, waving, thumbs up, making heart signs, taking information leaflets or their own photos of posters, even borrowing pots from us so they could join ib. It is clear that the majority of people are opposed to Israel's genocidal behaviour, but our politicians don't seem to have received the message loudly enough. Hopefully our pot banging helped to get the message through. #gaza #palestine #IsraelTerroristState #genocide #assen #potbangingforgaza #bds #BDSIsrael #BoycottIsrael

I forgot to upload a photo of Thursday's protest for Palestine here in Assen but I can now upload one of today's protest in Groningen as well. In Assen we sang. In Groningen we were silent. Lots of people took leaflets with information. Lots of people gave us thumbs up or other obvious signs of agreement. In Groningen today there were a couple of strange people who were trying very hard to get into arguments or who wanted to photograph us all. This is harassment by people who know they have lost any kind of moral support for their argument or for their actions. There is no moral justification for the ongoing genocide committed by Israel. Individuals can't necessarily do much from a distance, but at the very least we can choose not to support the genocide by not buying Israeli goods or services. Boycott Israel. #gaza #palestine #assen #groningen #bds #bdsisrael #boycottIsrael

I don't have any good photos of tonight's protest for Palestine by Assen railway station. For the entire duration of the protest we were filmed by someone who also turned up in Groningen on Saturday and filmed everyone there as well. The zionists lost the argument a long time ago. They have no justification for the continued genocidal behaviour of Israel. They have no justification for continuing to murder and torture innocent people. So instead of occasionally showing up and shouting at us it seems that they've switched to harassing us on the streets, doing all they can to try to make innocent people feel uncomfortable. We see you. As I understand it, this man is already quite well known to the police in Groningen, and now also in Assen. #gaza #palestine #protest #israelterroristState #assen #bds #bdsisrael #boycottisrael #haveyouseenthisweirdo ?

Photo from today's demo for Palestine in Groningen. Israel's war crimes and genocide continue. They are killing people in Iran, Lebanon, Syria and Libya as well as in Palestine and of course the genocide in Gaza continues apace. People are still living in truly appalling conditions in Gaza. Boycott Israel. BDS. After a week off in Assen (the drunken TT crowd are not the most sympathetic) we also protested at Assen railway station on Thursday. #palestine #gaza #israelwarCrimes #israeligenocide #bds #boycottIsrael

Rigged Election: Israel bans Arab parties from election - Who they are, why it matters "Israel’s Central Elections Committee has voted to bar the country’s two main Arab-majority political lists from next month’s parliamentary election, potentially leaving Palestinian citizens of Israel without their principal representatives in the Israeli parliament, the Knesset." https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/9/26/israel-bans-arab-parties-from-election-who-they-are-why-it-matters #BoycottIsrael #Corruption #CrimesAgainstHumanity #News #HumanRights #Activism #Gaza #Palestine

Bernie Sanders calls to end US military aid to Israel following election ban on Arab parties "US Senator Bernie Sanders has called for an end to US military aid to Israel after Israel’s election committee banned its two major Arab parties just four weeks before elections. The move has potentially left Palestinian citizens of Israel without their principal representatives in the Israeli parliament, the Knesset. “If it wasn’t already clear, Netanyahu and his far-right allies want an Israel where Palestinian citizens, 20% of the population, have no voice at all,” Sanders said on X. “NO MORE U.S. MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL,” he wrote." https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2026/9/29/iran-war-live-trump-says-he-did-not-offer-tehran-sanctions-relief?update=4997022 #BoycottIsrael #Corruption #CrimesAgainstHumanity #News #HumanRights #Activism #Gaza #Palestine

If you're a sewist in Australia it's getting harder to find decent fabric supplies in-store, now that Lincraft is going online-only. But give Spotlight a miss (and Anaconda and Harris Scarfe) "It was reported in the news today that Lincraft has gone into administration and all stores will be closed. A lot of you are probably thinking of switching to Spotlight. I would encourage you to know first that Spotlight Group was founded by two Israeli billionaires. One of the directors of the company is also the President of the Zionist Foundation of Australia. Spotlight channels money to Israel via its corporate charities division, The Spotlight Foundation. ...Spotlight Group also includes the companies Anaconda, Harris Scarfe, and Mountain Designs. There was a boycott way back in 2023 but it was before most people were fully aware of the situation and may not have picked up much steam." #sewing #BDS #BoycottIsrael

Never forget, THIS is Zionism: https://www.aljazeera.com/video/newsfeed/2024/8/13/israeli-protesters-rally-for-the-right-to-rape-prisoners That's right - protesting for the right to rape prisoners.

Yesterday evening's demo for Gaza and Palestine at Assen railway station. The genocide continues. Our protests also continue. Yesterday we read the names and ages of a small number of the victims of Israel's continuing attacks on Gaza. We will sadly never be able to do all of the victims any kind of justice at all. So many have been killed that with just one hour of reading each week we will never be able to read all the names. Boycott Israeli products. That's the least we can do. Thank you to all those who stopped and listened for a while, to all those who took information and will hopefully join the boycott or a protest. #gaza #palestine #assen #genocide #israelterroristState #boycottIsrael #bds #bdsisrael

Tonight's demo for Gaza and Palestine at Assen railway station. Israel continues to kill people in Palestine and elsewhere across the middle east at an extraordinary rate. This week we've seen some slight movement in international politics, such as a few more countries banning imports of goods produced in the illegally occupied Palestinian land. However this is not enough. We need to boycott all Israeli products and organisations. #gaza #palestine #assen #genocide #israelterroristState #boycottIsrael #bds #bdsisrael

Today's protest for Gaza and Palestine in Groningen. A lot of people took information. It's clear that the majority do want action to be taken against Israel. Most people do not want to support a genocide. Boycott Israel. All their products, not just the ones from illegally occupied Palestinian land. Products from illegally occupied land will already be illegal to sell in the Netherlands from later this month, but that's not enough. #gaza #palestine #groningen #genocide #israeliWarCrimes #boycottIsrael #bds #bdsisrael

Today's protest for Palestine and Gaza at Assen's railway station. Israel continues to kill and Palestinians continue to die at their hands. This genocide must stop. Don't look away from the crime of crimes. Boycotting Israeli goods is the least any of us can do. #gaza #palestine #assen #genocide #israeligenocide #israelterroristState #bds #bdsisrael #boycottisrael

Protesters inside Assen's railway station tonight. It's the last Thursday of the month so we read the names and ages of Gazans who have been murdered by the Israeli state. In an hour we can only read a tiny fraction of the names. The list becomes longer each week. People stop and listen. Names of children and babies provoke more emotion, but all the deaths are tragic. People of all ages are killed for no reason other than that Israel's terrorist regime does not value Palestinian lives. Passers by take information about the calls to boycott products and services from companies associated with Israel. Please join us all in boycotting Israel commercially, culturally, and in education. #gaza #palestine #israel #israelTerroristState #genocide #israeliGenocide #bds #bdsisrael #boycottisrael
