29 November, is the United Nations International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian people and New Zealanders will mark this day with dozens of solidarity actions around the country this weekend.
“The coalition government is still missing in action” says PSNA National Chair John Minto. “They are still refusing to take even baby steps to hold Israel to account for its mass slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza” says PSNA National Chair John Minto.
“The government’s agenda is not to offend the US/Israel while we are demanding an end to hypocrisy”
“Even while Israel starves to death people in Northern Gaza our government looks the other way – ignoring all UN reports demanding immediate action for humanitarian aid.” says John Minto. “Our government is committed to the US when it should be committed to the UN”

‘The whole foundation is rocking’: inside the explosive film about the investigation of Benjamin Netanyahu
The Bibi Files contains leaked footage of the Israeli PM being interrogated by police over allegations of corruption – and argues that these are partly why he has taken the region into the abyss. We meet the journalist behind it
https://www.theguardian.com/film/2024/dec/02/benjamin-netanyahu-bibi-files-israeli-corruption
The Bibi Files will be released in UK and Irish cinemas and on demand on 13 December. It will be on DocPlay in Australia on 12 December.
As the USA is both the no 1 terrorist of all time plus thee greatest sponsor of terrorism of all time, the USA and all of its terror entities, including the Taliban in this case, commends you for your loyal following.
Well done JB.
Nothing in my region again which is disappointing.
Nobody cares. It’s old hat.
Too true Jonzie, nobody cares…so, when the same shyt that is happening in Palestine lands on your doorstep, your as in your offspring or offspring of your fellow family members – nobody will give a fuck…and this is the way our elitist rulers wish it to be. There’s too may of us extraordinarily ordinary people in this world, my friend, so we must, we will, we are being dealt with by our illustrious elitist rulers. Nobody cares – sing this anti-human catch cry to the world. Sing it loud, sing it strong, understand that you are sowing the seeds to your or your offspring’s demise, when you nonchalantly spread the ruling class gospel!! Nobody gives a fuck!
The folk here in Gisbo, with our urgent personal probs, are definitely ‘vigilists’, as they self-describe. 3 or 4 folk who turn up religiously every Saturday morning near the rich-fucks’ Farmer’s Market. Mostly never acknowledged positively, becos — comfort trumps everything. Hence Trump!
I went to one but discovered I didn’t have the face to represent this vital cause — I had ‘urgent personal probs’ like my fellow Gisbornites.
