    Almost arrested today at a Palestine demonstration but managed to escape through an alleyway. We were just going to the square where there was an Israel demonstration. But they were at the other end of the square and weren’t even close to us. Demonstrators got closed off by the police at one of the entrances to the square. Then they were arrested.

      What happened? Didn’t even know about the protest until I saw vids of police violence (again).

        We were marching from the American consulate to the Dam and we were blocked in Kalverstraat, but half of us managed to escape and the others were locked in by the cops and arrested. The rest was supporting the locked in ones by chanting and shouting at the police. But because of this we couldn’t do our counter protest. Like always, no matter how well we protested, the cops won in the end. Although they did need a lot of cops for that. I think that we really need to get more people to join the protests, then there’s a higher chance we’ll win. We should invite other people when going to a protest
