Despite being called to stop killing Palestinians by the International Court of Justice, Israel has ignored this and close to 2,000 Palestinians – mostly women and children – have been slaughtered in Gaza since the ICJ interim measures were announced (The total Israel has killed since October 7th is 27,840)

New Zealand’s silence is deafening. Despite condemning the killing of Israeli civilians the government has been silent on the slaughter of Palestinians – refusing to condemn the apartheid state of Israel for the carnage and numerous other war crimes such as “collective punishment” of Palestinians.

New Zealanders are once more gathering all over the country to protest the genocide and speak up while our gutless government looks the other way.

Details of the protest events across the country are on our Facebook event page here (with the basic details below)

  1. The Israelis are currently protesting as well, preventing medical aid and food getting into Gaza. So noble, so principled, so righteous and human. They wave their arms around these chosen people and with crazy eyes they chanti about death. Yuck.

    • Show me the press articles that proves Israeli are blocking medical aid to Gaza Must be from a reliable source, so that excludes Al Jazeera of course.

  2. Must have missed the protest organized by Minto against the rape and mutilation of women and children by his terrorist friends…they fucked around and found out the limit of Israeli patience with the death cult living next door.

    • Looking at the numbers of Israelis v Palestinians killed over the years you might want to rethink which party is the death cult here Nabatean.

    Cutting life saving aid to a starving people?
    Venal might be a better word to describe this government’s actions, against Gaza.

    No more aid for UN aid agency until Peters satisfied – Luxon
    RNZ 12:41 pm on 30 January 2024

    When will Peters be satisfied?

    When images of living human skeletons appear on our newsfeeds?
    When children with distended bellies and glazed lifeless faces peer back at us on the news?

    This venal creep needs to be in the Hague alongside all the other Western politicians being tried for complicity in genocide.

    https://skwawkbox.org/2024/02/07/south-africa-to-file-legal-action-with-icj-against-uk-us-for-war-crime-complicity/

    A team of almost fifty South African lawyers is preparing a legal case to bring to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the United Nations’ top court, against the US and UK, for their complicity in Israel’s array of war crimes in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

    • Ummm, bodies of burnt-alive babies from the October 7th massacre? Or are only Palestinian children lives the ones that matter Pat?
