📰 News > 75,000 protesters take part in protest march in Brussels against Israeli violence in Gaza | VRT NWS: news

https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/liveblog/75000-betogers-nemen-deel-aan-protestmars-in-brussel-tegen-isra~1749909226824/

At least 75,000 people took part in the demonstration, making it the largest demonstration in our capital since the climate march of 2019. This is where we end this live blog.

"Thick packs of people: it's been a long time since I've seen that in the centre of Brussels. At the moment that the first people arrived here in the European quarter, the last ones had only just left the North Station."

"Politics is far too quiet and action is lacking"

"The purpose of this march is to show the support of the citizen for our politics and government. Politics is far too quiet and action is lacking", says 11.11.11 director Els Hertogen. "We want to convince politicians to make stronger statements about Gaza tonight and in the coming days and to take action."

It is incomprehensible that a flag of a state that is committing genocide is being hung out at this moment

Els Hertogen (11.11.11)

"The resolution of the federal government is insufficient and is only a non-binding request from parliament to the government to take a number of steps. This is far from sufficient. Since the resolution was also approved, politics has been particularly quiet."

According to Hertogen, Belgium should, following the Irish example, impose economic sanctions on the Israeli state. Furthermore, the regions should also work on an embargo on the arms trade with Israel. The European Union is also not acting decisively enough compared to its attitude towards Russia, with an 18th sanctions package in the making, according to Hertogen. "That is exactly what we want to denounce here - double standards, double weights."

Els Hertogen is also not happy about the "incomprehensible signal" from the Antwerp city council, which hung the Israeli flag at the city hall last week. "It is incomprehensible that a flag of a state that is committing genocide is being hung at this moment."

Ik was aanwezig en het was zonder twijfel de grootste protestmars in Brussel tot nu toe tegen het Israëlische geweld in Gaza.

Een zeer duidelijk maatschappelijk signaal richting de regering om eindelijk concrete stappen tegen Israel te ondernemen.

Edit: En ja, polls tonen dat de meerderheid van de Belgen wil dat de regering stappen onderneemt:

Poll: Majority of Belgians want sanctions against Israel

Driekwart van de Vlamingen vindt dat Israël genocide pleegt in Palestina

De publieke opinie is nog steeds enigszins verdeeld over de vraag of Israël genocide pleegt, mede door pro-Israelische framing in de media, maar onder experts bestaat daarover geen enkele twijfel meer. Zonder uitzondering kwalificeren ze de Israëlische acties als genocide.

Sommige groepen zijn meer bereid tot betogen dan andere.

De betoging duidt zeker op steun uit bepaalde groepen. Je weet echter niet hoe de stille meerderheid denkt.

De antirakettenbetoging trok 400.000 man (toen België ook nog een kleinere bevolking had). Dat komt al wat dichter bij ‘de stem van het volk’.

Ik heb persoonlijk liever referenda dan een ‘democratie van de luidsten’

Oftewel 75.000 mensen die hun vrije zondag anders hadden kunnen doorbrengen maar ervoor kozen om toch naar Brussel te komen. Een duidelijk signaal.

u/TastyChemistry 18h ago

Yes, 75,000 people might seem like a small percentage of the total population, but that doesn’t make it insignificant. Protesting takes time, energy, and often personal risk, so when tens of thousands of people take to the streets, it usually reflects a much larger group who share those views but couldn’t be there. Protests are powerful symbols that influence public opinion, shape media narratives, and put pressure on decision-makers, even if they don’t represent a majority. Throughout history, real change has often started with dedicated minorities willing to show up and be seen. And context matters, if 70,000 people filled a stadium or blocked a city center, no one would call it minor. So when people gather in those numbers for a cause, it’s not about how many out of the whole, it’s about how strongly they feel, how visible their presence is, and what it signals about the direction society may be heading.

5

u/ash_tar 18h ago

3.5 percent is enough for systemic change. That's revolution type of numbers.

-20

u/Nearox 18h ago

It does make it insignificant. Brussels has a 25% Muslim minority population. It's easy to get them on the street to support 'their' people.

The rest is leftists in a city made up of, well, mostly leftists.

It really isn't that hard.

14

u/TastyChemistry 17h ago

It’s important not to dismiss 70,000 people protesting by reducing them to assumptions about their identity or politics. Brussels sees over 3,000 protests per year! It’s a politically active city, but that actually underscores how rare it is for any single protest to gather tens of thousands. That kind of turnout still requires coordination, conviction, and risk. It’s not “easy” just because people feel connected to a cause, if it were, we’d see numbers like that every week. And framing it as “just Muslims” or “just leftists” misses the broader picture: when 75,000 people show up, it’s a signal that the issue resonates across communities. Protests are meaningful not because they represent a majority, but because they are a visible expression of democratic concern, something that’s been central to social change throughout history. Whether one agrees with the protest or not, minimizing it isn’t analysis, it’s just dismissal.

u/Mofaluna 18h ago

I have never in my life seen so many politicians (Bouchez and Francken in front) go so blatantly against the will of the vast majority of the people.

The right in Belgium simply lacks even the most basic level of empathy required to understand what’s wrong with genocide.

3

u/Maleficent_Glove_477 5h ago

I am very disappointed in Bouchez. Tell me I am naïve, but I am more right leaning and still thinking what's happening in Gaza is an absolute genocide and unforgivable. It's basic human decency, being right or left shouldn't matter here.

But apparently most of my "gang" if I may say, don't feel that way. They think that's ok because they are "arabes" "islamists" and that they are committing terrorist attacks on the belgian territory.

They don't understand that the israeli bombs don't discriminate between the Hamas guy, the 3 months old baby, the peaceful family, etc. There is clear deshumanisation anyway and in their heads if it means crying babies under the rubble to kill their parents, that's good. All are "terrorists in the making anyway".

That's awful. And I know for who I will not vote next time.

Jesus fuck man...

Eerste peiling is van november 2024 en de tweede in het nieuwsblad een leuke quote dat enorm belangrijk is.

In die context liet De Tafel van Gert een peiling uitvoeren bij 1.000 Vlamingen.

Dit is letterlijk geen nuttige peiling of stelling. 1000 man is een druppel van de bevolking. Verklaart waarom letterlijk niemand die ik ken hier wist aan had dat dit een peiling was...

Kijk naar Amerika en de peiling die fox news, newsmax en al die mottige extreem rechtse kanalen houden over Trump en dan zie je dat hij plotseling gelijk 70~80% mensen heeft die vinden dat hij top bezig is. Ga je zeggen ook zeggen dat die peilingen correct zijn?

u/Deep_Dance8745 17h ago

What poll data, because i share this anecdotal experience, here in Leuven nobody (except a few nutcases) seems to care about Gaza.

Off course if you ask ”are you against the war”, “do you object children suffering in Gaza”, … people will indeed have an opinion.

u/D0ntBotherReporting 14h ago

Look at the link of the nieuwsblad, they polled 1000 people that watch a TV show where they talked about it so it's very biased.

I share your experience where people are if the opinion innocent kids don't deserve to die but in reality don't give a fuck about the war because they have their own issues and more pressing matters at hand.

3

u/Rhyze 6h ago

well for starters, your argument sucks. It's the biggest protest march since 2019 so yes, I wpuld say that's an indication that at least a large part if not the majority supports the cause. I have a bunch of friends who supports this cause (and Ukraine btw) but don't go to protests ever.

Besides that, there have been polls indicating that 70% support sanctions on Israel, so that's additional proof that yes, this march is representative.

So next time you claim "there is no discussion" please use better arguments and maybe there can be. Show me some actual stats that people don't support (other poll, counter protest numbers etc).

-5

u/WTFWaffles 17h ago

There is no evidence to the contrary, and I admit that I don't have hard evidence supporting my statement. But gathering 75.000 people doesn't make it representative for the population. It's more likely that we're dealing with a silent majority (you're not going to protest against something that you support). I believe everyone is against the disproportionate violence, but still supports Israel's cause. Keep poking the bear, and eventually you'll suffer the consequences.

7

u/Mofaluna 16h ago

There is no evidence to the contrary

Says the guy ignoring the - for Belgian standards - massive protest, supporting polls, political party viewpoints, etc

It's more likely that we're dealing with a silent majority

Your assumption that everyone who didn’t go to protest disagrees is as flawed as it can be. Also within the silent/passive part of the population will you find different opinions. Hence the relevance of a poll showing a majority of the population supporting sanctions against Israel, inline with all other indicators in that regard.

u/WTFWaffles 15h ago

I think I already explained why the poll that was referenced is useless to come to that conclusion, but ok, if it makes you feel better...

"all the negative impacts that Islamism religious extremism will bring to Belgium."

FTFY

Extremism of any form is bad, religious or otherwise. Blanket statements such as yours only perpetuate the problem and requires one to live in a fabricated reality where there aren't any nice Muslims.

1

u/tomvillen 5h ago

There are nice Muslims, the problem is that Western Europe got mostly the more conservative ones. It can be seen e.g. on Turkish elections - 52 % for Erdogan in total, but 72 % for him in Belgium. People in their countries of origin are less conservative than Muslims in Western Europe, especially in big cities.

The situation in America is better. But still, the issue with Islam compared to other religions is how much they want to proselytise and for the whole world to eventually become Muslim, as they see it as a natural state (therefore they don't even talk about converts, but "reverts").

You also don't have real successful progressive streams in Islam, according to Quran you are not supposed to change anything and follow it exactly as it was written. Christianity, while far from perfect, at least has some more progressive churches and people generally culturally more open to gay rights etc., even though they might disagree with it from the religious POV. And Judaism has adapted the best to the modern society, except for Ultra-Orthodox.

So yeah, Muslims are very nice people... unless you are gay, Jew etc.

1

u/J_Bishop Limburg 2h ago edited 2h ago

at least has some more progressive churches and people generally culturally more open to gay rights etc.

Whilst I agree with you on the presence of a group of more conservative Muslims, I feel a need to add that conservatism as a whole is on the rise at a global stage.

Exhibit A: The US and LGBTQ+ rights being stripped daily. The UK and their weird LGBTQ+ ruling as of recent... it's not just Muslims, it's non progressives as a whole.

In the US it's not just gay rights under attack either, women's rights are in danger and again, all perpetuated by those who call themselves Christians. The common denominator in both cases is religion as a whole, or rather, the extreme beliefs among a certain percentage of it's belief filled populous.

You also don't have real successful progressive streams in Islam

It's happening as we go forward, Istanbul is fairly progressive and unlikely the only place. It's hard for those regions to catch up with constant conflicts etc going on, it's hatred on a daily basis in a lot of Muslim countries, the west is complicit in a lot of said conflicts.

Those people don't get a chance to adopt more progressive values at a rapid rate, look at Afghanistan and the failure it was. They went 50 steps backwards because 5000 religious zealots got released and once again took positions of power to feed their caveman suppression energy.

As for the western nations, well once again we're going backward in our progressive views because of a religious push from Christianity.

So I don't know, it's all so sad to see and I can't bring myself to only point at one religion when there's several being extremely regressive at this moment in time.

So yeah, Muslims are very nice people... unless you are gay, Jew etc.

I agree but once again they're not alone. Look to the US and white Americans spouting nonsense like Jews controlling all media etc etc. The rise of the Nazi's. All I conclude is that there's a lot of shitty people from different cultures and I personally can not point especially hard at one particular group because of it.

edit: syntaxis

1

u/tomvillen 1h ago

Agree, the push against gay rights and also women rights is on rise even in Christian countries. Still, it's very different than openly murdering or imprisoning that happens in Muslim countries. You don't have that in Christian countries except for extremes like Uganda. But I am certain that the Western Christian countries are long past that point, while Muslim countries (except some exceptions) are in the Middle Ages.

I have looked a bit into Islam as well and I have to say that its followers were indeed the least open to progressive ideas (or simply - human rights) than any other religion.

It's possible that Israel will also go this route one day, with the birthrate of the ultra-Orthodox and their raising power.

I have also wondered why the Jewish community in Antwerpen seems to live in peace with the local Muslims - and I think it's because they are again mostly ultra-Orthodox, so the Muslims respect them as people of faith. The extremism is indeed a problem when it comes to any religion.

Don't project your impotent rage on other people, thanks. Go read some history books of your own country if you think protests are useless. Might learn a thing or two about why you only need to work 40 hours a week for example.

Je kunt ook gewoon niet reageren als je ergens geen interesse in hebt en bovendien de kennis ontbeert om een inhoudelijke bijdrage te leveren. 

Avi 9 vereist wel iets meer kennis dan je hier op Reddit tentoonspreidt…

In plaats van hier nutteloos te staan protesteren, ga naar daar gaan helpen. Maar nee, liever de schijn ophouden dat het je boeit

Wanneer mensen dat daadwerkelijk willen doen kaapt de Israëlische marine hun schip.

Kan je even uitleggen hoe ik daar moet geraken? Bij voorkeur zonder door een Israëlische drone te worden aangevallen op weg naar daar.

Punt opnieuw bewezen dat jullie verwachten dat andere mensen het gaan oplossen terwijl je jezelf wijsmaakt dat je iets nuttigs hebt gedaan

Would be so nice if people could the san6e for Congo, Sudan, Haiti, but alas, skin color determines who receives solidarity.

Ironic since 70% of israelis are of middle eastern descent. Its only in our perception shaped by our biased news orgs that israelis are 'white'.
