The slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza by the Israeli military has reached new levels of cruelty and barbarity.
As we prepare this newsletter, more than 6,500 Palestinians civilians have been killed and over 2,700 children as Israel rains death and destruction on the people of Gaza.
It’s barely believable that our government has condemned the killing of Israeli civilians, which we all have, but has refused to speak out to condemn Israel’s collective punishment of Gazan civilians – which is also a war crime.
There is a broad movement developing across the world to condemn all war crimes and to demand a ceasefire in the Israel/Gaza war.

Will it be a pro Gaza March, or an pro Hamas – anti Israel mob, like last weekend in Aotea Square…
Neihana, your shallow narrative is becoming boring!! The fact that you claim that these protesters are “pro-Hamas” means you really haven’t a clue of the recent historic context surrounding apartheid Israel!!
Tipene – Right back at you
Stephen you really are stupid,every time you comment you display an appalling lack of knowledge.
To support Hamas shows what a dreadful person you are.
They bought all of this on themselves.
How?? There are 2.5 million civilians that are imprisoned in Gaza the length is 25 miles and the width is 5 miles, it is one of the most densely populated cities in the world. Most palestinians didn’t vote for Hamas a creation of the apartheid state that you venerate.
Free Palestine
Palestine is free you idiot, they elected Hammas and have complete control over the territory. I think what you mean is Free Isreal (from Israelis) for Palestinians, you know, from the river to the sea. Which really means kill all jews. Disgusting
MHM, Palestine will only be free from the river Jordan to the mediterranean sea when all Zionist go back to the ancestral homelands.
Judea and Samaria?
From the river to the sea does not and has never meant to kill all Jews.
It means one state all people as it was many years ago, Christians, Jews, Muslims.
Which were the rulers and which were the dhimmis many years ago Michal? Please tell us more about the dhimmi relationship. Was it, for example, equitable? Why did the Jews have to wear a piece of yellow cloth and the Christians a bell to signify their lowly status? Has the yellow cloth been appropriated by any European nation in the past century. Oh, you thought the Nazis invented it for de Jude? My my the misinformation these days is rampant is it not.
Free Palestine
What happened to “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free”? Too many nasty implications in that one, even for you, Stephen?
Here’s one that you’ll love because it’s practical:
“There is no solution for the Palestinian problem except by Jihad”
How did all those Palestinian children bring this on themselves?
By their parents electing Hammas. This is all on Hammas
On that basis it’s the fault of the Israeli kids who got killed because some their parents occupied land that’s not even recognised as theirs internationally.
Condem the attack on October 7th…. oh you won’t? Back to death to all jews then I guess. Can’t have it both ways; Isreal are genocidal murderers but Hammas are not. Where were the free Taliban protests after September 11. Idiot leftist, you wouldn’t last 5 minutes in Palestinian
They have but you are too blind or bias to know because you’ve only showed up on this post.
Free Palestine
Blah blah blah. It doesn’t seem to matter how f’ing times people renounce the attacks by Hamas you can’t seem to hear it because its inconvenient when trying to justify what that corrupt bastard Netanyahu and the IDF are doing.
Lots and lots of people have condemned the attack by Hamas including me. There was a minutes silence at today’s rally in Otautahi for all of the civilians killed in the past however many days.
Stay the fuck out of it for gods sake.
What about the hostages?
Israel is killing them, Tom C.
Talk about blame the victim
Seems many New Zealanders are for Hamas.
Really? So if you are against the people in the middle getting slaughtered, that makes you are Hamas supporter?
Apartheid Israel is murdering its own hostages! The apartheid state has murdered its own jews in the past for political and strategic gains. These hostages are better off dead so apartheid Israel can further use their deaths strategically and blame Hamas.
Never trust an Israeli Zionist never!!
At least we get a bit of a demographic from the turnout…the total number of idiots in NZ.
Yes Gaby, all those who don’t attend.
I said turn out. Can you read?
There are lots of them gaby going by the comments here.
Don’r let your mind sink too meanly Bob1st you are better and bigger than that.
The problem is for you Bob and Gabby is that you can’t hold three ideas in your head.

This will be one of the biggest military blunders in history! I don’t usually watch Sky news but this interview with ex IDF special forces, by Mark Austin is chilling! And I don’t understand what really motivates some of the pro vengeance crowd, when so many Israeli’s are against it??? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fPtN4hVlFA
Murder Inc., America, Israel, the EU, and the Southern Hemisphere Colonial house-niggers have sanctioned the Genocidal Holocaust and Ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians from Palestine, and Gaza.
The Military Sea Blockade in the Med by the US Navys aircraft carriers, otherwise known as Gun-Boat-Diplomacy and military build-up in northern Syria says the US is the belligerent enforcer of a dying empire trying to impose its will on a nation of people who are unable to defend themselves from the last 20 days of carpet bombing and 56 years of oppression ffs!!
And lil ole NZ is is all good with this.
Coming from someone who supports Russian imperialism and the carpet bombing of Ukraine, sort of disqualifies you as an commentor on anything. Hypocrite much.
Pat, Go Fuck Yourself! Youre nothing like your father.
Way to go again Pat! how to make friends and influence people is a skill sorely lacking apparently.
100% correct.
Lets not import this madness to our country. We’ve got our own problems.
We are not importing any madness into this country. We are standing up for human rights, that is absolutely what it is about. 75 years of occupation..
What about the 4000 Palestinians who work in israel who have been dumped in prison in the last few weeks, primarily for being Palestinians – ah a bargaining chip
Agree jack we have a large number of very silly people in New Zealand who purport to know more about Palestine/Israel than anyone else.The armchair brigade.
Bob the simple, why even bother to visit this blogsite if all you do is criticize people that differ from your worldview?
All the usual suspects with all the usual pro Israel talking points.
How do you people sleep at night knowing Israel is killing innocent children on an hourly basis?
Israel says it is “fighting for civilisation” while committing land theft, war crimes and genocide. If you’re OK with that you need a punch in the face
Amazing the variety of justifications used excusing and explaining the mass-murder of civilians trapped in a concentration camp. It appears that for Israel to exist, we of the ‘enlightenment’, have to agree to sanctify the blood sacrifice of thousands of the children of GAZA; as if it is sane human behaviour.
The cruelties are of an exceptionalist and sadistic dogma; Eschatological to their core.
Oh it gets more radical than that, google Israel/Red heifer for insane human behavior.

Enjoy some heartfelt music beautifully performed and then go out for the Palestinians remembering that the Israelis in the homeland are under a dominant military government whatever they think – very poignant – not too different to the more extreme German situation in the 1930s!

Name one thing beyond bloody mayhem that Hamas or the Palestinians in general have contributed to the world.
Refugees Gaby. Despite the billions that have been handed to the Palestinian authorities they can’t even care for their own. Or maybe you were thinking of Pallywood?
Lost thought, care breath, socialist, wall, question. bang. Socialist, let us breath.
Hold back this invation, spoke days , yet not done .
This is great – The SIS don’t even have to look for terrorists anymore they are going to conveniently congregate in selected public places instead.
“I appeal to all of you to vote to stop the killing. Vote for humanitarian aid to reach those whose very survival depends on it. Vote to stop this madness,” Palestine’s UN ambassador Riyad Mansour said in an emotional speech to the UN General Assembly on Thursday.
” An international law professor says Western states have provided cover for Israel’s lawless extremism and possible end goal of massive dispossession and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people ”
” “By failing to advocate for a ceasefire, Western states have given a green light to Israel’s agenda of ‘collective punishment’, which might itself be grotesque cover for the regime’s end goal of massive dispossession and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people,” Richard Falk,
Richard Falk, an international law scholar who taught at Princeton University for forty years, wrote in an article published by Middle East Eye on October 2.
Following is the text of the article:
https://www.tehrantimes.com/news/490603/The-West-greenlighting-Israel-s-ethnic-cleansing-international
” TEHRAN- Iran’s defence minister issues a warning saying that any error or miscalculation on the part of the enemies will result in a swift and forceful reaction ”
” Iran has vowed to back Palestinian resistance groups in their conflict with Israel, but it has also threatened to retaliate militarily against any attack on its interests or nationals ”
” He added that the Israeli regime is attempting to kill innocent Palestinian children and adults to exact revenge for its historic operational and intelligence failure ”
” Iran’s defence chief also denounced Israel’s attacks on Syria’s airports in Aleppo and Damascus, indicating the regime is making fruitless attempts to project its ability to respond decisively on all fronts ”
https://www.tehrantimes.com/news/490572/Defense-chief-vows-swift-forceful-reaction-to-error-by-foes
” He underscored the urgent need for essential supplies such as fuel, which has been denied to Gaza. Without fuel, he said, there can be no adequate humanitarian response, no aid reaching those in need, no power for hospitals, no clean water, and no bread for the population ”

Appreciate the heads up – was a nice day for it.
Peace
Bugger -our internet was out. Only just found out otherwise we would have been there. I understands the heightened passion on both sides but I can’t understand why anyone could be against a cease fire.
Barely rated a media mention. Yawn.
Omission is a large part of narrative control.
Anybody yawing through this genocide, is truly asleep.
About 300 marched in New Plymouth yesterday, btw. Since ‘media’ didn’t mention it; I will.
