Students gather for a pro-Palestinian protest at the University of Amsterdam, Netherlands, May 7, 2024
“The only good Tory is a dead Tory."
POLICE violently broke up a protest by pro-Palestinian activists at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands on Wednesday in a second straight day of unrest over the Gaza genocide.
After police had ended a blockade on university grounds, hundreds of demonstrators moved to a nearby square to continue protesting late into the evening, demanding an end to the war. Some asked the university to sever academic relations with Israel.
It was unclear if and how many people were injured during the scuffles and how many detained.
