00:00Tens of thousands of red-clad protesters marched through The Hague on Sunday to demand government action to seek a hold to Israel's campaign in Gaza.
00:11Organizers called it the country's biggest demonstration in two decades, with human rights groups and aid agencies estimating the peaceful crowd at more than 100,000 people.
00:23Protesters walked a five-kilometer loop around the city center of The Hague to symbolically create the red line they say the government has failed to set.
00:32The fact that Schoof has said that there is no red line, while there are really war crimes in the neighborhood, is enough for me to stand here.
00:42I have never demonstrated, it is the first time.
00:45In your life?
00:46In my life.
00:47And why now?
00:48Yes.
00:49Well, because it's sad that everyone can see what's happening all over the media, via the television, and the government does nothing.
01:00The march went past the Peace Palace, where last year judges at the International Court of Justice ordered Israel to do all it can to prevent death, destruction, and any acts of genocide in Gaza.
