Zionism is the problem, will you be the solution?

Description

The world has watched in horror as Israel has unleashed its ferocious and unlawful assault on the Palestinian people in Gaza, with a declared intent, from the very beginning, to stop food, electricity, water, and other basic goods from entering this occupied territory.

In our tens, thousands and millions, we are all Palestinians.  Join right thinking people this Saturday to protest the ongoing Israeli Shitfuckery.

A report in the UK medical journal The Lancet, has estimated the Palestinian death toll in Israel’s war on Gaza is likely to be 186,000 or more.
 
The Gaza Ministry of Health count of bodies brought to hospitals or medical facilities stands at over 38,000 – mostly women and children. However the Lancet report is clear that this is a hopeless underestimate which does not, for example, take account of bodies buried in the rubble – estimated by some at 10,000 or more. The report goes on to say:

Armed conflicts have indirect health implications beyond the direct harm from violence. Even if the conflict ends immediately, there will continue to be many indirect deaths in the coming months and years from causes such as reproductive, communicable, and non-communicable diseases. The total death toll is expected to be large given the intensity of this conflict; destroyed health-care infrastructure; severe shortages of food, water, and shelter; the population's inability to flee to safe places; and the loss of funding to UNRWA, one of the very few humanitarian organisations still active in the Gaza Strip.

In recent conflicts, such indirect deaths range from three to 15 times the number of direct deaths. Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death to the 37 396 deaths reported, it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186 000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza. Using the 2022 Gaza Strip population estimate of 2 375 259, this would translate to 7·9% of the total population in the Gaza Strip.

The New Zealand government continues its hypocrisy – fulsome condemnation of Russia and support for Ukraine alongside refusal to condemn Israel and miserly, grudging support for the Palestinian victims of Israeli genocide.

Today's news: As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prepares to visit the U.S. next week, his government voted overwhelmingly in favor of a resolution rejecting the creation of a Palestinian state. The largely ceremonial vote is an interesting choice by the nation’s lawmakers, as the Biden White House has consistently pushed for a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict. 
“This will clearly embarrass the president here and put him in a very difficult position with respect to his own party,” said one expert, adding that it might signal Israel is betting that “the next president is going to be Donald Trump,” with lawmakers putting “all their eggs in one basket, which is the Republican Party.”  Fuck Zionism, that is all.
