Activists from Palestine Action NL defaced Amsterdam’s Royal Palace with red paint and anti-Israel slogans early Tuesday, accusing Dutch authorities of hypocrisy for banning a Palestinian commemoration while permitting an Israeli one on Dam Square.
The group said it targeted the palace as a symbol of “the centuries-long history of Dutch colonialism,” explaining that the red paint represented “the blood that the Dutch state has on its hands.”
The act took place on the second anniversary of Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza, as they continue to obstruct the entry of humanitarian aid into the besieged enclave.
