Israel blocks NZ aid to starving Palestinians

67
843

Up to $29 million worth of aid provided by New Zealand is held up on the Gaza border by Israel, says the Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa.

PSNA says this aid is loaded on some of the 9,000 aid trucks sitting ready to try to lift the Israeli created famine.  Three months ago, Israel cut off all food, medicine, fuel, and nearly all water supplies entering Gaza.

Famine has begun and the UN has cited 14,000 babies at imminent risk of starving to death.  It estimates 600 truckloads of aid a day is necessary to feed the people in Gaza. Gaza’s own food production has been destroyed by Israel.

Some 70 percent of Gaza is already occupied by Israel or under Israeli evacuation orders.

New Zealand Foreign Minister, Winston Peters last week said the humanitarian situation in Gaza is ‘simply intolerable’.

But PSNA Co-Chair, John Minto says that since then, as Israel refused to allow more than a trickle of aid into Gaza, and instead escalated its already horrific military onslaught, Peters’ only public statement has been to offer condolences for the shooting of two Israeli diplomats in Washington.

“Our government’s selective indifference to mass murder is making all of us complicit.”

 Minto says New Zealand has taken a lead in the past and must do so again.

“Our government should be advocating internationally for the enforcement of a protective no-fly zone over Gaza, and a multinational military protection for aid convoys so they can go into Gaza whether Israel approves them or not.”

“At home we should be sending Israel an equally clear message.  We must send the Israeli ambassador packing and immediately sanction Israel by ending all trade and other links,” Minto says.

“As each day passes with no concrete action from New Zealand, our government is linking us with the most massive and ongoing war crime of the 21st century.”

“Our government will never live down it’s complicity but might salvage some credibility by acting now.”

  1. @ nathan- you have an opinion- you oily little punk-?
    Yuk! The three smiling stooges. What the fuck’s wrong with the world ? Oh wait… let me guess…
    Go you @ J.M.

  2. If you or you voted for national, nz first or act, this is on you. Shame on you. Your mindless greed has made you accessories to the crimes.

    • No one should ever join, or support, or vote for a political party that denies the Holocaust of the Jews in Europe.
      By the same token….
      No one should ever join, or support, or vote for a political party that denies the genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza.

      “If you or you voted for national, nz first or act, this is on you. Shame on you. Your mindless greed has made you accessories to the crimes”. Killer T-Cell

      A Classic Labour Party deflection, blame the voters.
      Maybe if as Bertholt Brecht suggested, instead of the people electing a Labour government maybe Labour could elect a new people?

      Or as Napoleon more cuttingly put it, “There is no such thing as bad soldiers, only bad generals”

      Hi T-Cell, don’t you remember the “Captain’s Call”?

      https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/labour-party-to-vote-on-banning-captains-calls-after-chris-hipkins-wealth-tax-call/AEOODJQKTBGL5B34KBHXJTDQG4/

      Labour in government refused to tax the rich to prop up our failiing social services, even when Treaury was advising them to do so. Instead Labour handed the election over to National rather than tax the rich.

      Can the soldiers, (voters) really be blamed for abandoning them?

      As for smearing the New Zealand voting public for our mindless greed that has made us accessories accessories to genocide Labour Party official policy is genocide denial.

      if the Labour Party had been taken the opportunity to form a government, they would have fully ended up backing this genocide.

      Does anyone doubt it?

      When it comes to Gaza does anyone here think that Hipkins wouldn’t have done exactly the same as Luxon?

      The British Labour Party leader, Keir Starme,r said that Israel had the right to cut off all food water and electricity to Gaza.

      https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/sir-keir-starmer-hamas-terrorism-israel-defend-itself/

      Does anyone here think that Chris Hipkins wouldn’t back the genocide in Gaza exactly the same way as British Labour Party leader Keir Starmer has?

      NZ Labour Party genocide denial. The evidence:

      don’t vote for genocide deniers. Don’t vote for Holocuase deniers.

      Vote Green or TPM

      ….While the Greens and Te Pāti Māori have been calling it genocide for weeks, O’Connor’s colleague Phil Twyford – whose amendment calling for a two-state solution was adopted – said his comments did not reflect Labour’s position.

      • I have a question re this statement.
        ” Up to $29 million worth of aid provided by New Zealand is held up on the Gaza border by Israel, says the Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa.”
        My question is : How come the israeli embassy in Nu Zillind still at
        Embassy of Israel Wellington, Bayleys Building New Zealand, 36 Brandon Street, Wellington Central, Wellington 6011, New Zealand then?
        Perhaps we could run an electrified fence around the embassy@ 36 Brandon Street, Wellington Central then refuse israeli staff entry onto AO/NZ territory. We could start by cutting off water and electricity then exports of foods and other essential items like medicines and toilet paper to them.
        Ah… wait a minute. Embassy’s are not foreign soil so I’ve just read. Bugger yet great. Let’s kick the fuckers out then?

  3. John – Hamas leadership has a net worth of billions of dollars – let them fund Gaza…NZ should never fund Terrorist Billionaires.

    • 0h but it’s okay for Israel to destroy the total infrastructure and creat hamas and totally destroy Palestinian society ober 76 odd years and expect no resistance eh. U and your zionist mates make me sick. You 21st century zionists are worse than the German nazis ever were.

        • Everyone can see that Nathan tells the most purile zionist spin and lies to back up his support for Israel mass murdering children.

          ie in nathans latest ‘blood libel’ he pretends that our country providing food aid for the Gaza children that Israel is deliberately starving https://www.forbes.com/sites/omerawan/2024/03/24/children-in-gaza-are-starving-heres-how-starvation-can-affect-a-childs-health/?ss=small-business-strategy&sh=30d3cc382001

          and medical aid sent to treat the children that Israel has deliberately burned maimed and mutilated– https://www.arabtimesonline.com/news/video-shows-girl-running-through-burning-gaza-school-after-israeli-bombing/

          well according to nathan us sending aid to help Children like this little girl named Aseel equates to ‘funding Hamas ‘ https://ragspassage.substack.com/p/aseel-two-phone-calls ,,,,, and Nathans against any aid to help children like her being sent from us.

          ,,,, nathan also ignores that as Israel is blocking aid sent by us,,, then his suggestion that hamas should “fund Gaza” aid is retarded for Israel zionist spin ,,,, as Israel would block aid provided by Hamas even more than anyone elses…..

          **********************************

          • Ya gotta admit reason, those Hamas jihadis and spokespeople look pretty well beefed up and healthy. Where do they access their food supplies I wonder. And don’t they care to share them with the children who’s health is so badly affected?

          • B Awakesky – So Hamas Senior Leadership are not Billionaires, and we, NZ, should fund Hamas -generated problems?

            • nathan, you oppose helping children that Israel is deliberately harming and murdering ,,, such as this poor little girl Aseel, who had a 1000 pound American made and American paid bomb dropped on her home. https://ragspassage.substack.com/p/aseel-two-phone-calls

              Every regular here at TDB has seen nathan repeat dozens of zionist lies / spin over hundreds of posts in his support of Israels war crimes and crimes against humanity (genocide) …….
              ie – https://jonathancook.substack.com/p/israels-claim-that-hamas-is-stealing “Were Hamas stealing aid in Gaza, Israel would easily be able to document it. It would have the video footage from its drones. The fact that it has not provided any footage showing Hamas’ theft of aid – its ransacking of aid trucks, or its fighters smuggling themselves into aid warehouses – is confirmation enough that Israel has simply invented this claim to rationalise its plans to starve the people of Gaza to death through months of an aid blockade or force them to flee into neighbouring Sinai, whichever comes first.

              Without its disinformation campaign about “Hamas stealing aid”, Israel knows popular revulsion at its starvation campaign would grow quickly, and western governments would further struggle to keep opposition in check.

              There are lots of others reasons, of course, to reject Israel’s lies about “Hamas stealing aid”. Not least, because every single charity and aid agency dealing with Gaza says that aid is not being stolen by Hamas”

              Even Piers Morgan who is an uber-zioist Israel supporter, well even he has slapped down the Israeli propaganda that zionists like Andrew peddle to excuse Israels mass murder and starvation of children, the elderly etc. Piers Morgan CONFRONTS Israeli Ambassador Over Gaza Civilian Deaths | https://youtu.be/bZLoMy4Ohto

              Most abusers and murderers blame their victims ,,, note how nathan ignores every example of Israeli war crimes and deflects by blaming and telling lies about hamas ,,, ie “Ex-Israeli Soldier on Army’s Systematic Use of Palestinians as Human Shields https://youtu.be/7TNZ41a6doQ

              telling slanderous lies to justify the mass murder of children and civilians, exactly like nathan does,,,, is about the worst thing a human being could do apart from directly committing the mass murders themselves …. Just on this basis many in the world would judge what the nathans of this world support as worse than any support for Hamas.

              ” A short guide on how to engineer a genocide by starvation and ethnic cleansing:

              1. Choose your moment. Ok, you’ve been ethnically cleansing, occupying, oppressing and killing your neighbours for decades. The international courts have ruled your actions illegal. But none of that will matter the moment your neighbours retaliate by attacking you. Don’t worry. The western media can be relied on to help out here. They will be only too ready to pretend that history began on the day you were attacked.

              2. Declare, in response, your intention to starve your neighbours, treating them as “human animals”, by blocking all food, water and power. You will be surprised by how many western politicians are ready to support this as your “right to defend yourself”. The media will echo them. Important not to just talk about blocking aid. You must actually do it. There will be no serious pushback for many, many months”

              • B Awakesky – You still have not answered the question…

                Why should NZ taxpayers fund Hamas Senior Leadership group who are Billionaires?

                Or put another way, why can’t Hamas Senior Leadership use their Billions to fund Gazans?

                They, the Senior Leadership, became Billionaires by stealing the funding meant for Palestinians…

          • Its the same answer to nathans question now ,, as it is to answer “why are Welliingtonians queuing up for water?”, back when nathan was saying that people in Wellington had to queue up to get water…..

            The answer is nathan makes shit up ,,,

            ,,,To prove this , and on the basis of ‘why should I answer nathans lies as though they were the truth’, I challenge him to show ANY evidence that AoNz food and medical aid,, presently being blocked and stopped by Israel,, provides any funding to the “Hamas Senior Leadership” group” ,,,, my money is on nathan aka ‘the dead postie’ ,,, he never delivers.

            Why does nathan tell such childish lies so Israel can murder, starve and torture children with his full backing?

            It’s not complicated ,,,, it’s evil ,,, ‘Doctor’s Gaza testimony shocks UN Security Council’ https://youtu.be/W5B1MO1PW3M?t=37

            “”I am not here as a policymaker, but as a physician bearing witness to the deliberate destruction of healthcare, the targeting of my colleagues, and the erasure of a people,” he stated, describing surgeries performed on filthy floors without anaesthesia and children dying from preventable causes due to Israel’s blockade of medical supplies. ”

            Why does nathan even pretend that Israel would allow Hamas to supply any food or medicine through their blockade / siege, when their zionest project and ‘ it’s final solution’ are stopping ours ….?

            It’s not complicated ,,,, it’s evil,,,,,,it also violates International Law…. No lame excuses and made up shit cuts it ,,,, Hamas are nowhere involved in this war crime.

            Listen to another doctor on Israels murder and kidnapping of medical workers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5yFJ1CjZYE ,,, 100% war crimes.

    • ‘If only they hadn’ t attacked Israel in the first place… Numpties.’
      WTF are ‘they”? All the women, children and old people living in Gaza?
      Is it not easier and more honest to just say you want to kill all the Palestinians?

    • If only Israel had not started a land grab as in the 1967 land war.And if only the USA had not decided it could make billions by arming Israel and lying about the threats from Iran as an excuse for doing so .

    • Hen whatever Hamas are is no f’ing justification for slaughtering people who have nothing to do with Hamas. If Israel wasn’t full of land thieving bastards Oct 7 wouldn’t have happened.

  4. Mass murder is evil. With no peace in sight and an organisation committed to
    Israel’s destruction (and one that is prepared to sacrifice its population in service of this goal) Israel is absolutely right to defend itself. The fault lies with Hamas and its enablers.

    • Hen get up to date with the facts. As Geoff Lye says Hamas removed that from their charter years ago.

      Still Hen never let a few lies get in the way of a good story.

      Hen read a few things, like just MSM junk. I have all of these academic books in my house, I think you might have a different story to put out there if only you would take the time to read properly!

    • ‘We transfer money to Aid Workers in North Gaza’
      Just give direct to Hamas, same people pretending to be aid workers, steal the supplies.
      Another useful idiot in Peter it seems.

      • I’m right. The man who adores that orange wanker who accepted a plane from Qatar, the same nation that provides funds to Hamas ( just like the Israelis used to do).

            • Wheel – Yes they Billionaires…and no, Qatar did not give them that amount of money…Those Billionaires stole the Aid money for Palestinians in Gaza to become Billionaires…swines.

  5. If Palestinians expect food and aid, they should get out of Gaza for good. Gaza belongs to Israel, always has, always will.

    • Jews have lived in the Palestine area along with Christians and Muslims. But they have always been the minority.
      ONE STATE with democracy and don’t bother telling me the BS that Israel is a democracy, everyone surely knows by now that there are at least 60 plus laws that apply only to Palestinians living in what is called Israel.

      • Sounds like such a.realistic plan! Of course centuries of Jewish programs and alike culminating in the Holocaust are exactly why a Jewish state is needed where they are not the minority. But if any two people could be forced together happily it’s the Jews and Hamas! It is obvious that for the Michal’s of this world that they always want the Jews to be a minority and to have no ability to protect themselves etc. That is because the Michal’s of this world do not see Jews as human beings. There is no need to label that as anything. It speaks for itself.

        • The holocaust doesn’t justify kicking the Palestinians out of their own country, Sammy. Why didn’t they carve a piece off Germany at the end of the war? You know, the nation that was actually responsible.

          • As the Arabs of Palestine found out in 1948, there are consequences to rejecting UN partition plans. As the Ottoman empire in 1919 and the Arab coalition in 1949 found out, there are consequences to losing wars. Germany lost territory following WW2. India lost a third of their land without any war. Armenia was kicked out of its own land a few years ago. And Turkey is still occupying northern Cyprus. What makes Palestinians more deserving than the displaced and maimed in Somalia, Sudan or Nigeria?

    • Don’t let the facts get in the way of a good story is obviously your motto, Leviticus 26:13-39 shows that your understanding of history is completely wrong, Matthew 31:33-45 is another example that Israel do not have any legitimate claims to that land, look up a reliable history book on Jerusalem in AD70 and you will get some idea of what you will be living through when the time of trouble such as never was happens. I don’t wish harm on any people including Jews but it’s not possible that you can support such evil actions without suffering the consequences eventually.

    • Gaza has stood for over 5000 years well documented in human history, Israel has a 3000 year history don’t let facts get in your way Zelda.

      • A common Hasbara tactic is to phone talk back shows, and internet forums to pose as antiSemites, the purpose is to discredit Palestinian supporters.

        Gordon Walker is a classic example of a Hasbara Zionist troll posing as an antiSemite to discredit those opposed to Israel’s genocide in Gaza

        https://mondoweiss.net/2014/08/hasbara-spewing-semitism/

        ‘Common Dreams’ website traps Hasbara troll spewing anti-Semitism

  6. You can hate Hamas and everything they stand for (as I do), you may hate what they did (as I do), but if you think what is happening in Gaza is justified or okay then you need to go check your moral compass, because it’s gone wrong.

    To somehow blame all the people living there is insane. To justify the “collateral damage” of babies is insane. And to think that Israel is going to “win” this is the biggest insanity of all.

    Netanyahu is a fucking prick

  7. And if Winston Peters wasn’t a zionist puppet who’s probably on video doing unspeakable deeds at their embassy- he’d endorse allowing that aid in by any means necessary. There is no value to the lives of genocidal zionist monsters.

  8. If Hamas surrendered the war wouldn’t stop, not until Israel has ethnically cleansed the whole of Gaza of Palestinians.

    There are no Israeli hostages in the West Bank.

    The Palestinian Authority, not Hamas are in control in the West Bank.

    This hasn’t stopped the Israelis ethnically cleansing the West Bank of Palestinians.

  9. ” If Palestinians expect food and aid, they should get out of Gaza for good. Gaza belongs to Israel, always has, always will ”

    You know reading that I can understand why anyone would be anti semitic.

  10. The three stooges in the photo are looking on with glee and will follow the IDF hand book hence the recent push to increase our so called defense force against the imaginary enemy.Just like the USA created Iran as the excuse to sell arms to Israel .Seymoure will be saying to Luxon I will knight you if you let me kill off the Maori .Winston wont care because he thinks he is a white fella ,till the first bullet hits him between the eyes .

  11. Israeli society and its leaders have been described as being in the grip of ‘genocidal mania’. You couldn’t get a much more sicker example of someone in the grip of genocidal mania than the Israeli envoy to Britain and the UK.

    Piers Morgan asks the Israeli ambassdor to Britain, Tzipi Hotovely, How many innocent civlilians are you prepared to kill?

    Her answer?

    100,000. were killed by the Americans in Tokyo.

    YouTube

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8QFN8XmtMU

    Piers Morgan @13:54 minutes:
    “How many Palestinian, innocent lives, women, and in particular children, are you prepared to kill?….”

    Tzipi Hotovely @14:24 minutes:
    “You need to understand how Western armies operated in the past. Israel is not anywhere near to the American attacks on Tokyo, that killed 100,000 civilians…..”

    The people of India and Africa understand how Western armies operated in the past, The people of the Phiippines and Korea and Vietnam also know and understand how Western armies operate.
    Genocide has always been in the tool kit of Western armies.
    The indigenous people of settler colonies, America, Australia and New Zealand, know and fully understand how Western armies operated in the past, they don’t need to have it demonstrated to them again by Israel.

    ….

    • Um … wasn’t there a recent confrontation between two nuclear-powered non-western armies following a jihad attack on selected people in one of those nations recently? Wasn’t one of those nations conquered by an eastern empire before there was such a concept as “western armies”. And wasn’t the other nation created from land stolen from the one which was twice ruled by foreign powers?
      Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.

      • The Partition, The British Empire’s last great crime in India

        The Partition of India, particularly along religious lines, is widely viewed as a consequence of British rule and a source of immense suffering. While the British were not directly responsible for creating the deep-seated religious tensions, their policies during the colonial period, including the separation of administration, are considered to have exacerbated these issues. The Partition, resulting in the creation of Pakistan and India, led to mass displacement, violence, and immense human suffering.
        Here’s a more detailed look:
        Exacerbation of Tensions:
        The British, while attempting to divide and rule, inadvertently fostered a sense of communal identity based on religion, particularly between Hindus and Muslims, which they may have been trying to avoid.
        Divide and Rule:
        The British often employed policies that created divisions between different communities, potentially making them more susceptible to conflict when the British left.
        Failed Transfer of Power:
        The transfer of power was rushed and poorly planned, leading to a chaotic and violent partition.
        Mass Displacement:
        The partition resulted in the forced displacement of millions of people, with devastating consequences…..

        Divide and Rule
        Much like the Balfour plan

        • Sure thing Pat. Is that why so many from both countries are now heading over to ye olde England and continuing their squabbles in Leicester, Bradford, Birmingham et al. Retribution you say? Why must Eire be so enhanced then. PS In your obsession with empire you seem to have forgotten the looooong history of Islamic genocidal realms and the slaughter of 70-80 million Hindus.

    • Hamas rejected the latest cease fire deal?

      When is a ceasefire deal not a ceasefire deal?

      Xenophone, Lying by omission, is still lying.

      Let me correct your omission.

      May 26, 2025

      Hamas accepted a US a US draft proposal for a temporary, 60 day, ceasefire deal, the deal included the release of ten of the Israeli hostages, five at beginning of the 60 days and five at the end of the 60 days, the deal also included a guarantee by the US to keep Israel at the negotiating table during the ceasefire to try and negotiate a permanent ceasefire deal and an end to war, and IDF withdrawal from Gaza, Israel rejected the US draft proposal. The US rewrote their ceasefire draft proposal to include Israel’s specific demand that the IDF remain and fully occupy the Gaza Strip and that the war continue after the 60 days with no negotiations during the ceasefire. Hamas rejected it.

      • If we’re getting “lies of omission” I see you didn’t mention that one of Hamas’s ceasefire demands was stopping current aid distribution and nobody will agree to that. There can only be one reason for that demand and that is that Hamas wants to control it so they can control the Gazan people – and “protestors” like you and John Minto are enabling that, just as you’re enabling their military strategy of using Gazans as human shields.

        • Xenophon – Correct…I wish John Minto would spend some time in Gaza, and experience what it is like having Hamas using Gazans as Human Shields…

    • And Israel just stole more land. All these pro israel types never seem to talk about the constant land theft, but wank on about Oct 7th like just happened out of the blue.

  12. Israel calls them “hostages” Hamas calls them prisoners, funny how in every cease fire negotiations the issue of prisoner exchanges are discussed. Just saying.

    • Hen May 31, 2025 At 10:52 am
      Q) Why does israel keep firing rockets into Gaza?
      A) It keeps them occupied

      There, fixed it for you, Hen…

  13. No human beings should be forced into pens to beg for scraps from their oppressors.

    nathan June 2, 2025 At 2:24 pm
    Xenophon – Correct…I wish John Minto would spend some time in Gaza……

    I don’t know about John Minto. But I have already spent some time in Gaza and intend to go there again to try and get the 9,000 trucks loaded with aid blocked at Rafah moving again.
    I am volunteering to go to Gaza to be a human shield to shield the aid trucks and their Egyptian drivers from the IDF starvation genocide army.

  14.  As it all starts to unravel
    The Irish Government officially recognises that genocide is being committed in Gaza by Israel.
    And in the UK, parliamentary cowards who support the genocide back down when challenged by the Speaker.

    British MPS who verbally support the Genocide in Gaza, feeling the weight of history breathing down their necks, back down when asked to put their names in writing to oppose a bill to investigate Britain’s role in the genocide.

    In his dystopian ballad ‘A Hard Rain’s Gonna Fall’ Bob Dylan wrote, “The executioners hand is always well hidden.” Those responsible for killing, especially those responsible for killing innocents, don’t want to be known to be the ones responsible for the killing.

    A remarkable demonstration of executioners not wanting to be identified, came this week in the British Parliament.

    Jeremy Corbyn @0:09 minutes:
    Thank you Madame Deputy Speaker I beg to move that leave be given to bring in a bill to make provision for establishing an independent public inquiry into UK involvement in Israeli military operations in Gaza to require the inquiry to consider any UK military economic or political cooperation with Israel since October 2023 including the sales supply or use of weapons, surveillance aircraft and Royal Air Force bases….

    The interesting part comes when the speaker puts the bill to the house, the speaker has to put the bill three times against shouted opposition.
    The speaker puts the bill.
    A large number of MPs shout their opposition to the bill.
    The sperker puts the bill again
    A lesser number of MPs again shout their opposition to Jeremy Corbyn’s bill.
    The speaker reprimands them.

    The Speaker @10:01 minutes:
     I will remind members that vote must follow voice. 
    A member who opposes the motion by shouting “No” may not then vote in favor of it if there is a division. So I’ll give it one more go.
    The question is; That the honorable member have leave to bring in the bil…..

    I didn’t know this, but in the British parliament it seems you can’t verbally vote no to a bill, if you haven’t put your name in witing as being opposed to it. ie. If you havein’t indicated your opposition to the bill, you can’t vote against it.
    The speaker puts the bill again for the third time..
    All those in favour? “Aye”, all those against?. “Silence”.
    The bill passes without objection.

    The Speaker @10:30 minutes
    I think the ‘Ayes’ have it. The ‘Ayes’ have it.

    Why aren’t our opposition MPs taking our government to task in the same manner?

    Why aren’t our opposition MPs putting up bills, like the Irish opposition MPs did, to get the government to offically recognise that genocied is being committed by Israel in Gaza?

    In my opinion if our opposition MPs had the gumption to take the government to task over the genocide in Gaza, we would witness the same reluctance by government MPs to go on the record as ‘Genocide Deniers’.

    So why is is not happening?

  15. I have to divide my opponents up above between fools and scumbags, though I think they are all fools.

    To be a scumbag you’d have to be informed and do wrong anyway — we don’t have those shitheads in NZ.

    Pricks, we will never approve another Holocaust, by Nazis against Jews nor Jews against another people.

    The only thing that protects Israel is they pay off plutocratic America,
