The exploding-pager attack in Lebanon is yet another Israeli attempt to provoke a wider Middle East war.
It comes after several previous, highly-inflammatory Israeli actions aimed to do the same thing:
- The assassination of Hezbollah leader Fuad Shukr in Beirut
- The assassination of Hamas Leader Ismail Hanniyah who was negotiating a ceasefire agreement with Israel. The assassination took place in Iran in a flagrant breach of Iranian sovereignty
- The Israeli missile attack on the Iranian consulate in Syria which killed several top Iranian officials
The New Zealand government has previous urged all parties to refrain from actions that would escalate Israel’s war on Gaza into a wider Middle East war.
“With this latest attack our government must condemn Israel” says PSNA National Chair John Minto. “Israel is an out-of-control rogue state which is an imminent danger to peace and security the world over”
“Many times the government has urged all sides to step back from a wider war but Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu is determined to expand death and destruction across the region”
“Netanyahu’s doing this to avoid the collapse of his far-right government and his looming trial on bribery and corruption charges.”
“Pious words from our Prime Minister will be ineffective. Condemnation and sanctions against this pariah state are long overdue”
Sanctions no longer cut it, the world must repudiate this threat to world peace and humanity. Lets call it for what it is, a genocidal far right racist regime that crosses all red lines.
The latest attack in Lebanon is state sponsored terrorism that breaches international law and is a spectacular own goal by Israel, who in their right mind will trust any Israeli tech from now on.
Whats next? post something deemed antisemitic and your laptop explodes?
Netanyawho showing his true colours, lovely people these Israeli’s.
Definitely trying to find a Peaceful Solution, the USA are complicit in their support for Israel.
Agree 100 % finngrin.
The no1 and 2 rogue terror states in the world are the US and Ziorael.
NZ has lost its sovereignity by joining the US/Ziorael led cabal of genocide complicit states.
We are being named alongside these deplorable state actors and the stain may last forever.
John, for the past year and more you have been telling us what “New Zealand must do” when the Realm of New Zealand has no interest in doing anything that is rational, humane, or in keeping with international law.
When will you be ready to face the fact that the colonialist state, the Realm of New Zealand is a big part of the problem and can be no part of the solution?
The only constructive step that we can take as a people is to bring about the destruction of the colonial regime in Aotearoa.
I will say one thing for New Zealand. Unlike its four Five Eyes partners it appears to have supported the UN General Assembly resolution demanding Israel end its ‘unlawful presence’ in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Maybe that is a sign that there is still some semblance of rationality in the regime.
Sure Gaby, 46% of funding for new tech startups in Israel has been pulled by investors. Whats that around 50K business gone under? The dual passport holders are fleeing the country. Hows that winning going?
Sirens going off? Watch em run like scared little children all from Hamas rockets landing in vacant land. Pride comes before a fall………..
Yep the most “Moral army in the World” set off laden explosive devices targeting a civilian population and video just released showing the IDF kicking the dead bodies of Palestinians of rooftops.
As a Chef i dare not put Israeli Couscous on the menu for fear of offending customers.
Well, in fairness, couscous has nothing more to do with ‘israel’ than anything else they claim (they have never invented anything but new terror tactics and rape methods, they only know how to steal).
Credit where credit is due they did invent terrorism with the first recorded instance in the Bible against the Romans after all they were expelled for murdering 16 captive Roman soldiers in cold blood which shocked the Romans.
