Needless to say protests continue around the country today against Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza and the government’s ongoing complicity of silence with the most appalling of all war crimes.
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon spoke eloquently yesterday about the murder of 51 Muslims in Christchurch five years ago – six of whom were Palestinian New Zealanders – but has provided only meaningless mumbles of concern for the wholesale slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza.
Details of the protests against the government and its racist anti-Palestinian policies are on our Facebook event page here

You should post notice of these protests earlier than upon the on the day they are scheduled.
I suggest signing up to the PSNA mailing list.
Very true John, really makes you think- especially when we recognize that Brenton Tarrant did not exist in a vacuum. His hateful actions, like those of the Israel Institute of New Zealand and similar groups, were rooted in the zionist ‘counterjihad’ ideology of hatred and murder towards Muslims.
Indeed, Tarrant was directly inspired by the zionist Baruch Goldstein, who after moving from America to ‘israel’ to illegally invade Palestinian land murdered 29 worshippers and injured 125 more at the al-Ibrahimi mosque. Goldstein is very widely celebrated by zionists like Tarrant. The zionist regime in occupied Palestine massacred even more Palestinians protesting Goldstein’s actions, and has since stolen large parts of the mosque to use for a fake jewish temple.
Luxon is completely fine with all that, of course.
Muslims kill more Muslims than non Muslims do.
So the world doesn’t really take notice of collateral damage by Israel as they know Hamas need to be crushed and the tunnels mined and flooded, Israel is doing good work.
Well said, Im right. the savagery and sadism inflicted by Hamas on 7/10 is ample justification for islamophobia.
Something that never happened justifies your hate for Muslims? Typical zionist.
More NZers kill NZers than non NZers do.
Your argument is so stupid, that I suspect that you have to concentrate fulltime on keeping a rhythmic breathing cycle and a regular heartbeat.
Islam is only considered a race because of critical race theory and i reject both. Islam is a religion and as an atheist, I will not stand with it.
You can’t logically expect anyone to respect your right not to believe in any religion if you do not recognise their right to believe in a religion. When whatever belief that is held causes harm to others then that needs to be condemned & subject to suitable laws however true freedom has to include faith or it is not really freedom. While I disagree with many mainstream Christian ideas taught, I still respect people’s right to believe them provided they respect my right to share what I believe is true with its evidence.
I disagree even more with Islam etc but still respect people’s right to choose it.
The Saturday parade of useful idiots is in decline. Perhaps they have got educated.
