Pro-Palestinian protest in #Amsterdam turns violent after student rally halted.
"Police were seen using batons against protesters to prevent them from marching past the nearby #Holocaust Monument on their way to Amsterdam city centre.
When protesters arrived at a central Amsterdam University location, protesters barricaded the narrow canal-facing road in front of the university buildings." #hostage #sympathy #terrorists #genevaconventions @palestine @israel
"Protesters screaming 'Free Palestine' ambush Easter Vigil at St Patrick's Cathedral."
Peace inside the cathedral quickly devolved into chaos as demonstrators with Extinction Rebellion NYC's Palestinian Solidarity group swarmed into the church.
Today more than 465 million Arabs honor their mothers. March 21, #mothersday is dedicated to honoring #mothers and all motherly figures. In 1956 #Egyptian journalist #MustafaAmin came across a widowed mother abandoned by her son. Expressing #sympathy with abandoned mothers and disregarded parents he promoted the idea throughout the country but was initially ridiculed by everyone. Mustafa anointed March 21 as the annual Mother’s Day in the newspaper “Akhbar el-Yom.” Amin was later imprisoned for his campaign. Attempts were made to change the name from Mother’s Day to Family Day but failed. (via Rita Stephan) @egypt@lebanon@palestine
"The resistance will not accept anything less than a complete cessation of aggression, the withdrawal of the occupation army from the Gaza Strip, the lifting of the unjust siege, the provision of safe and appropriate shelter for the displaced and displaced due to the crimes of the occupation, the return of the displaced, especially to the north of the Gaza Strip, an end to the barbaric starvation policy, and a commitment to reconstruction."
