Bring your Palestinian flags, signs and your energy as we make our support for Palestine known. The International Criminal Courts ruling proves that Israel is committing Apartheid and Genocide in Palestine. Both Crimes against Humanity!
Join more than 30 centers through the Motu (from Opononi in the north to Invercargill in the south) as we Rally or hold Vigils for the people of Palestine.
Aotearoa supports Palestinian Human Rights! More than 1,100 events have been held since October 8, 2023.
This Government needs to take note, not maintain it's zionist whore performance thus far. This letter sent to Brownlee:
"Kia ora Mr Brownlee,
We have noted media reports that the Palestinian keffiyeh is now a banned item of clothing in parliament’s public gallery.
This is an outrageous and untenable.
Does this ban include the Jewish kippah, the Turkish Fez, the English bowler hat and the Mexican poncho?
Or is this shameful discrimination reserved for the Palestinian victims of Israeli genocide?
Please respond urgently.
Ngā mihi.
Nā,
John Minto"
Israel bombed the Tabeen school in Gaza City with so much explosive force that not a single full body was recovered. It was just pieces of people everywhere. They bagged body parts in 70-kilogram piles to try and estimate a death toll.
‘Peak of Criminality’ – 13 Schools Turned Shelters Targeted in Gaza by Israel in August alone. Every time you see another cable news report on Gaza, remember that they’re NOT talking about the fact that Israel is still killing Palestinians in Gaza. Every. Single. Day.
Including today.
“Israeli strike on Gaza school kills more than 100 people. Authorities in Gaza said Israeli bombs hit the school-turned-shelter as people were praying and triggered a fire.” Just hours ago, Israel dropped three 2,000-pound bombs supplied by the Biden-Harris administration on the al-Tabin school in Gaza City, which was functioning as a shelter for displaced Palestinians – including women, children, and the elderly.
The bombs struck as they were engaged in morning prayers. Many who didn’t die in the initial blast were killed instead by the fire that ripped through the building afterwards.
It’s been four months since the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor estimated that Israel has dropped over 70,000 tons of bombs on Gaza – nearly FOUR TIMES the total bombs the Luftwaffe dropped on London in WW-II. The bombs dropped on the al-Tabin school today were just three of the more than 14,000 MK-84, 2,000-pound bombs Biden has given Netanyahu since October 7th.
Israel has assassinated leaders in multiple neighboring nations, assassinated multiple journalists, deliberately destroyed a water facility in Gaza during a polio outbreak, and had riots defending the right of IDF soldiers to rape Palestinian prisoners. Clearly the sort of country we should all want to send our sons and daughters to go fight and die for.
Bibi's reign of terror continues each day. Mass starvation is underway. Toxic and sadistic Netanyahu, with blood on your hands, indicted felon — bribery, fraud and breach of trust — the Trump of Israel, blood caked all over your face, you the funder of Hamas — billions of dollars you’ve arranged to flow to them in order to sow the chaos that would allow you to conduct an ethnic cleansing you now so joyfully lead, knee deep in the blood of the children you’ve slaughtered.
The thought of more dead Palestinians — “animals” your Defense Minister called them — no wonder so many of your own people despise you and want to see you behind bars — you, ironically, the jailer of 2.3 million Gazans whom you’ve kept tortured and suffering in an open-air prison for 17 years. YOU, whom history will judge as the destroyer of Israel, the true enemy of the Jewish people we love so dearly, a faith that sees no human being as an “animal” but rather as a gift from God. YOU who pulled reserve forces back from the Gazan border in the days before the massacre of October 7, knowing full well what would happen. YOU who’ve always hated your fellow Jews who live in those kibbutzim because they always vote against you and your party, because many of them are socialists, peaceniks, atheists, ex-hippies, putting on outdoor music fests, marching in the streets against your attempts to destroy the Israeli judicial system — yes, they despise you, and so like any good autocrat or fascist, you took away their protection and left them to the slaughter. Forced them to cower in their homes’ “safe rooms” for 14 hours hoping the Cavalry would come to save them, but few did, thanks to you. They were the sacrifice on your altar of crime and racism —and their deaths would allow you to cancel your upcoming criminal trial, allow you to form your own war council, allow you the justification to starve millions, cut off their water, carpet bomb their homes, the bodies decapitated, limbless children, elderly and the impoverished offered up as a necessary genocide in the name of hate, greed and the Big Lie that an ancient book contained a deed that said this land was given to you by God! God made the Earth for ALL, and Jews throughout the centuries knew this. Which is why they always fought on the side of Justice, on the side of the oppressed, the have-nots, the mistreated and the abused, the forgotten and the discarded. And for this, they were continually rounded up throughout history and led to their slaughter, the pogroms, the Holocaust. Little did they ever think that one of their own would one day do the same to others — specially to their own cousins — the Palestinians! The Muslims who revered Moses and Abraham and Jesus!
Now some Australien Shitfuckery: The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra has canceled the performance of acclaimed pianist Jayson Gillham after he dedicated a piece to the historically unprecedented number of journalists who have been killed in Gaza since October. The MSO called this dedication “an intrusion of personal political views on what should have been a morning focused on a program of works for solo piano,” adding that “The MSO understands that his remarks have caused offence and distress and offers a sincere apology.” Fuck that shit, that is all.
