A pro-Palestinian protester in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, was hit by a car after the driver drove through a human blockade set up by demonstrators.

Protesters gathered in the Dutch harbour city on Wednesday evening to demonstrate against the arrival of a cargo ship owned by Danish shipping company Maersk, reportedly carrying components for fighter jets used by Israel.

Local media reported that the protester sustained minor injuries.

  1. Netherlands standards in their street, Stations have gone down…
    People who say they are coming for peace..are bringing the Country down to pieces.

    Why not just enjoy what you seeking for..a normal quiet, or friendly day to day way if life.
    Why try and spoil people's space, peace..
    It long out of order…
    There are others who have come out of war zones or terrible pasts too.
    Waal who has been sworn in has not helped the situation.

    People will reach a point of no sympathy..due the demo's being overdone..
    Governmen really has to step in regarding these demonstrations..
    Why, why? Does have to come to this..

    People have tolerated for how long..Why bring unrest when there has been rest?
    It's sad.
    I blame the organisers of the demonstrations..
    They should now start being held accountable not the driver..

  2. Stop playing in the street. Go to a park. Use the swings, or go down a slide. Honestly, these children should have been taught that the road is no place to get your exercise.

  3. Fuera con el comunismo empobrecedor….de sus propios pueblos…" Embrutecen a sus ciudadanos"*… No más …viva Israel .. viva la libertad…fuera el Islam y el comunismo!"..el conductor …" Mis dulces son tus Dulces "*😂
