The parliamentary motion passed today, a full two months after Israel’s slaughter of Palestinian civilians began, says:
“Express grave concern at the ongoing violence in Israel and the occupied Palestinian Territories, unequivocally condemn the Hamas terrorist attack on 7 October 2023 and call for the release on all hostages, call on all parties involved in the conflict as well as all countries with influence in the region take urgent steps towards establishing a ceasefire, recognising Israel’s right to defend itself in accordance with international law, and that all civilians be protected from armed conflict, affirm that a lasting solution to the conflict will only be achieved by peaceful means and that action to revive the Middle East Peace Process is critical and that process must seek a just and lasting peace that recognises the existence and self-determination of Israelis and Palestinians. We call for the establishment of a free and independent Palestinian state as part of a two-state solution, with both nations having secure and recognised borders where all citizens have equal rights and freedoms”
Why is this motion too little, too late?
Identifying those responsible for the mass slaughter of Palestinian civilians: FAIL
Condemning the slaughter of Palestinian civilians: FAIL (but the motion did condemn the killing of Israeli civilians)
Identifying Israel’s brutality as genocide: FAIL
Calling for the thousands of Palestinians hostages being held in Israeli prisons under detention without trial: FAIL (but the motion did call for Israeli hostages to be released)
Calling for Israel to withdraw its troops from occupied Gaza, occupied East Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank: FAIL
Calling for International Criminal Court investigation into war crimes since October 7th, including the crimes of genocide and apartheid: FAIL
Calling for equal rights for Palestinians across historic Palestine: FAIL
Calling on the government to close the Israeli embassy: FAIL
Calling for accountabilities for Israeli war crimes: FAIL
And the list goes on….
Not enough, too little too late, the usual cowardly kowtowing to Canberra, Washington and Tel Aviv.
But please, a shout out for Labour’s Damien O’Connor who called the Israeli butchers slaughter “Genocide”, and for the Greens and Te Pāti Māori who have called for a ceasefire almost from the start.
Ceasefire now!
It looks like Parliament heeded Brian Tamaki/Destiny church’s call to support Israel …… ” Tamaki has asked foreign minister Winston Peters not to call for a ceasefire ,,,,,”.

Imagine grievously wounding or maiming a child,,,, and then burying that child alive under rubble for him/her to die by suffocation,, or from thirst, or from their wounds,,,,,
If you can imagine that horror then you get a glimpse of what K-K-Kahanist Israel IS DOING in Gaza.
******************************
Imagine attacking an destroying hospitals when you have TENS OF THOUSANDS of injured and maimed people from a Terror bombing campaign ,,,,, again this gives another glimpse of what K-K-Kahanist Israel IS DOING in Gaza..
Kahanist Israel is racism on steroids,,,, in their minds (and words) they are attacking and starving sub-human animals.
Gaza is a War-Sore Ghetto ,,,,,,
Israel Uber Alles ………
Go read Ada’s comment reason. There lies the solution to your angst.
Anne E is (in)famous for repeatedly refusing to condemn Israel providing direct support to head chopping terrorists ,,, support proven and admitted by Israeli officials here ,,, https://youtu.be/8clMNOmX_kk?t=187 ….
Anne E bizarrely and boringly claimed it is ‘anti-Semitic’ to ask a Zionist bullshitter like herself to condemn the criminal actions of Israel ,,,.
She obviously feels no discomfort at all at any type of murder and violence that Israel commits ,,, except for the fact support for Israel drops when people see the resullts of their work and become aware ,,
Do Not Turn Away. #Gaza https://www.bitchute.com/video/7VAvYoERpQM/
Ada has proven repeatedly that she is a nasty idiot and possibly as full of shit as Anne E ,,,, I do like countryboy’s reply to that dishonest moron though.

People like Anne E and co spread Israel lies/propaganda to whitewash mass murder and war crimes ….

Scandal-stained Israeli ‘rescue’ group fuels October 7 fabrications ….. https://thegrayzone.com/2023/12/06/scandal-israeli-october-7-fabrications/
“Founded by a serial rapist known as the “Haredi Jeffrey Epstein,” Israeli ultra-Orthodox rescue group ZAKA is responsible for some of the most obscene post-October 7 atrocity fabrications, from beheaded babies to “mass rape” to a fetus cut from its mother.” …..
Awww reason, it’s been a while but you’re still with the ad hominems and whiny little Syrian girl eh? And they say that women are the bitchy sex. You and Country Boy appear not to have got the meme. Sad.
Are they attacking and destroying hospitals? They have certainly asked for some of them to stop operating as hospitals (and while they do they attract civilians seeking shelter in an area that is not being bombed) as the IDF wants control of the areas they are in – to fight Hamas.
GENEVA (7 December 2023) – Israel has declared an ‘unrelenting war’ on the health system in Gaza, a UN expert said today, after hospitals, including one dedicated to treating children, were hit by airstrikes in recent weeks…… “At least 364 attacks on healthcare services have been recorded in the occupied Palestinian territory since 7 October 2023, resulting in at least 553 people killed and 729 injured. More than 50 health facilities and 190 ambulances have also been affected.
Other healthcare workers have been injured, arrested, and detained, including the General Director of Gaza’s biggest hospital, Al-Shifa, who was arrested on 23 November. His whereabouts are unknown. Al-Indonesi hospital has reportedly been bombed 35 times since 28 October.
Kahanist Israel wants to ethnically cleanse Gaza as a ‘final solution’ to their Palestinian problem ,,,, destroying the health system is part of making Gaza uninhabitable……
SPC has all the hallmarks a ‘concern troll’ ,,,,
The health sector workers are still their to work in makeshift and then rebuilt hospitals.
They obviously can’t tell the difference between a right to defend themself & a full-scale attack that kills mostly innocent people also.
No point blaming Israel. Hamas did this. The sooner the tunnels under Gaza are flooded the better.

Gazans who knowingly and willingly voted for a terrorist organisation (Hamas) to administer Gaza in the last election in 2006 knew what they were getting into as did Hamas when it sent thousands of terrorists into Israel to rape and murder but both chose to do it anyway.
Read the below recent report from the BBC illustrates perfectly why Israel is in Gaza right now:
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67629181
Na, they and those on the WB got an opportunity to reject Fatah and took it. Hamas could have allowed elections within Gaza since, as could Fatah on the WB. They both suppress dissent.
People who voted for parties in the current Israeli government knew what they were voting for as per the WB policy – which is now at the level of an international crime.
Israel had the chance to defend themselves on October 7, they totally failed (evidence now available shows just how big a failure it was, probably because they were so full of themselves that they thought they were invincible) so to deflect attention from their failure they have launched a full on revenge attack and describe it as self defence so all the simple minded around the world can parrot their propaganda since they lack the ability to think for themself.
While it was probably unlikely that any young boys growing up in Gaza would have had positive feelings about Israel before the attack and revenge war you can be sure that Israel has inspired a multitude of hate World wide which will not help their chances of living in peace.
There is only one answer for the conflict and it does not come from this world.
Pretty much all of the comments here are trite puppet like repetition of BBC and other western media input. I thought this was supposed to be a forum where people did fact checking and research. Apparently not. Come on, people, you’re better than that. Try researching the origins of Zionism and its manifestation in today’s “settler” mentality. Try researching into recent political developments in Palestinian divisions. Try researching into the Israeli political history and current deep split between the peace umbrella and the ultra right. Once you’ve done that, look again and see how stupid your comments are.
Meanwhile Richard perhaps you could research the origin of Islamic antisemitism and Arab pogroms (hint: they start much, much earlier than 1929 Hebron, or even the late 1880s if you really wish to pretend this dispute is all about Zionism and colonialism.)
P.S. For Hebron try 1517.
So
Epilogue
1. We do not like what is happening
2. Hamas started it and need to release all the hostages.
The developing story
3. A call for a cease-fire so civilians are safe, while giving lip service to exercise self defence – key words – within international law.
Reading between the lines, too many civilians are dying – so stop what is going on. Or if USA vetoes resolutions at the UNSC, continue but do it within international law. Or expect international pressure to grow on the US to coerce constraint on thew WB and in the nature of Gaza operations.
Prologue
4. We need a resumption of peace talks
5. What we want as the outcome
The real problem is that the government has not focused on the most obvious point, the need for aid to be delivered.
The Americans say another truce for aid and hostage exchange is not likely. There is a 200 truck capacity under the current arrangements – it is barely enough for those gathering at Rafah.
To provide for those at the designated camp area by the coast would need greater supply. Possibly by sea. And with a hospital ship.
So it is a Christian Nationalist Government.
Invoking article 99 of the UN constitution the Secretary General of the United Nations Antonio Guterres has within the last two hours addressed the Security Council and called on the Security Council to order an immediate humanitarian ceasefire.
In his address, Guterres detailed the “unprecedented” humanitarian disaster in Gaza, the total breakdown of social order, including the supply and distribution of the essential means of life, food, water, medicine to 2 million people. Involved in the distribution of the means of life in Gaza, the UN has suffered its largest number of United Nations staff killed in the history of the UN since its founding.
Guterres detailed the massive loss of human life, including children and civilians.
Because of the bombing of UN food distribution shelters and the killing of UN staff Guterres reported;
“…the effective delivery of aid no longer exists”.
Guterres reported that the UN and its partners can not get aid to Gaza, continual bombardment and Israeli restrictions on movement prevent the UN from reaching the majority of the population of Gaza.
Massive loss of life due famine is inevitable.
Despite all this Guterres vowed that the UN will not withdraw from Gaza.

“The eyes of the world and the eyes of history are watching”
Read the resolution of the New Zealand Parliament carefully and you will see that it does nothing more than extend to the State of Israel the right to commit genocide in Gaza and the West Bank. There is solidarity among colonialists….
