PSNA says Winston Peters must immediately and thoroughly condemn Israel’s bombing on the Qatari capital Doha.
Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa Co-chair John Minto, says even Israel’s sponsor in chief, Donald Trump, has publicly disagreed with the Israeli attempt to kill Hamas negotiators in Qatar.
“Even by the blatant standards of aggression Israel has set itself, bombing a ceasefire negotiation meeting in yet another country is an outrage.”
“Israel can have sent no clearer message, that it is not interested in negotiating a peaceful outcome.”
“It’s far from the first time Israel has targeted Hamas negotiators in the Hamas leadership. It’s made the job of negotiating with Israel the second most dangerous in the world – just behind being a journalist reporting on the Israeli genocide in Gaza.”
Minto says for nearly two years Peters has been championing a negotiated outcome in Gaza.
“He made a major ministerial statement in late July. In it he was praising and giving ‘complete support’ to the efforts of Qatar, Egypt and the US to reach a ceasefire.”
“Israel has just spat in the face of the New Zealand, and every other government who has called for a negotiated settlement.”
Minto says nobody is safe from Israeli attack.
“Countries, such as Germany and the UK, have redefined protest against Israeli starvation and ethnic cleansing as a terrorist act. Israel has vowed to kill what it calls terrorists where ever they may be.”
“With Israel bombing Qatar and simultaneously sending drones to target the Global Sumud Flotilla aid convoy off Tunisia, Israel has now openly attacked seven countries in the past two years.”
“This time, with an attack on a member of the Gulf Cooperation Council, Israeli aggression is particularly dangerous.”
Winston Peters is scheduled to attend the United Nations General Assembly later in the month and Minto says the government must give him a clear message.
“Stop always blaming Hamas for everything, and finding excuses for Israel and always giving Netanyahu the benefit of the doubt, by pretending others ministers in his cabinet are the extremists.”
“Netanyahu leads an openly genocidal government, which is not interested in peace, including getting hostages released. It has shown utterly contemptable brutality and an end game of ethnic cleansing.”
“Luxon and the cabinet can’t allow itself to continue to be hoodwinked yet again. It must instruct Peters that delivering sanctions against Israel in New Zealand, and demanding them in the UN, are they only way to join the direction the rest of the world is taking and the only way to uphold a humanitarian rules-based outcome to achieve the rights of Palestinians which have been denied since 1948.”

Maybe he (Winstone) is still coming to terms with the pussy and tits crass comments from dip shit Nash
Perhaps you should be pushing the Palestinian terrorists to release innocent hostages they have kidnapped and still hold in Gaza, maybe then Israel mite leave Gaza. I never heard you ask how the hostages are doing? You only whinge about Israel.
Perhaps you should consider how many innocent Palestinians are locked up in Israeli jails before making comments that show how ignorant you are regarding what is happening in Gaza. John has said many times that he doesn’t support violence, although since he is streets ahead of you regarding intelligence, he knows that you have to stop the source if peace is to be achieved.
John – Hamas shot and killed 6 people waiting for a bus in Jerusalem during the peace talks between Hamas and Israel…Israel hit back. The real question is why an Iranian-backed terror group (Hamas) is in Qatar.
Lol, you rats keep crying about Hamas’s counterterrorist operations as you commit the worst genocide of the past hundred years. The human race has your number. You won’t be getting away with this one.
Mohammed Khan – Two things
– Nazi Germany committed the worst genocide in 100 years…mostly against the Jewish people
– Shooting people waiting for a bus is NOT a counterterrorist operation.
‘The real question is why an Iranian-backed terror group (Hamas) is in Qatar?’
The real question is how does a bunch of Zionist terrorists maintain and expand an illegal state.
stevie – No Stevie, that is not the real question… the first question stands.
They were negotiating for a peace agreement. Given your general lack of likability, I suppose that you negotiate with yourself a lot, but that’s not how things work in the real world.
Steve – Back to the insult…. No real comeback
Thought I would see what cool words were coming from Gwynne Dyer.
‘Gwynne Dyer’s new book is ‘Intervention Earth: Life-Saving Ideas from the World’s Climate Engineers’. The previous book, ‘The Shortest History of War’, is also still available.’
Gaza – Not So Much a Genocide; More a Real Estate Opportunity Sept.3 2025
Politics / By Gwynne Dyer
A motley band of greedy fantasists got together at the White House a week ago (27 August) and came up with a cunning plan to bring peace to the Middle East while lining their own pockets at the same time. It was ‘leaked’ within days, as it was clearly meant to be, and since then the sound of outraged clucking has been loud in the land.
It is “a Trumpian get-rich-quick scheme reliant on war crimes, AI and tourism,” wrote the Israeli daily Ha’aretz.
“It’s a textbook case of international crimes on an unimaginable scale: forcible population transfer, demographic engineering and collective punishment,” said Duncan Grant, head of Swiss-based human rights group Trial International.
“It’s insane,” said H.A. Hellyer of the Royal United Services Institute. They are right, so far as they go – but they only know the half of it. The other half is that this is an insane crime that could actually happen.
As you would expect at a meeting chaired by Donald Trump, half the participants were real estate developers by trade – himself, his ignorant ‘Special Envoy for the Middle East’ Steve Witkoff, and his son-in-law Jared Kushner. Marco Rubio was there as National Security Adviser, and former British prime minister Tony Blair to raise the tone a bit.,,,
Here Come the Refugees
/ Politics / By Gwynne Dyer
The wind has definitely changed. August 31 2025
Less than a year ago Nigel Farage, who aspires to be the British Trump, said this: “I’m not going to get dragged down the road of mass deportations or anything like that…It’s a political impossibility to deport hundreds of thousands of people. We simply can’t do it. It’s pointless even going there.”
Last week, however, Farage promised to deport 600,000 people during the first five years of a Reform government – and his party now comes first in the UK opinion polls, like Marine Le Pen’s equally hard-right, anti-immigrant National Rally does in France. The next British election is not due until 2029, but Farage would be prime minister if it were held today.,,
Another brilliant precision strike by the world’s best Air Force. The Israel-bashers predictably go into panties bunching mode once more.
Another breach of a sovereign nation and an act of war. Israel are the victims?
Steve – Back to the insult…. No real comeback
‘The real question is why an Iranian-backed terror group (Hamas) is in Qatar?’
Because they were asked to host Hamas by the US. Hamas was originally funded by Israel to undermine the support of the Palestinian authority. Netanyahu was responsible for the operation creating them and installing the leadership in third countries. This is all documented and verifiable. It is also interesting that US air defenses were deactivated when the IDF aircraft needed to pass and there was at least one RAF refueling tanker loitering off Qatar during the operation. Curious that all of this could be arranged with so little notice.
Hello Brother — https://www.bitchute.com/video/ojxz2qZT3cmF ..This short video was released in response to the mass murder Christchurch shooting / terrorism.
When re-watching it I was struck by how accurate and relevant it is to the State Terrorism & Mass Murder that Israel is committing with Genocidal intent.
“Nothing happens in isolation,, hate does not breed in a vacuum,, and hatred begets tragedy.
Lies spoken become unspeakable terror …… ”
The Lies / Propaganda spoken since Oct 7th is the true ‘Blood Libel’ of our times ,,,,, wholesale butchery of a civilian population based on bullshit.””’
Here at TDB gaby howled for revenge over the imaginary beheaded babys like he was one of their imaginary parents ,,,, others like Nathan are less rabid,,,, but just as dishonest as gaby is…..
There has been a mountain of lies told and spread,,,, to justify a mountain of dead civilians murdered by Israel in it’s never ending war crimes. The lies told are truly Blood Libel.
*************************************************************************
The Christchurch shooter / Tarrent saw himself as a ‘moral soldier acting in ‘self-defense’ …. he would have been a good fit with the IDF……
Most moral???? ,, Sure, if the morals are Bad
Now why would Winston do that? He wants donations, having long since abandoned morality.
I know I can feel confident in telling winston peters he’s a lying, deviant, old Machiavellian cunt. Does that count?
“it all began on October 7, 2023”
Yeah, Right!

November 2024, the ICC indictes Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Galant for using food deprivation as a weapon. The ICC could have done it years before.

Gaza’s food system has been stretched to breaking point by Israel
Published: October 26, 2022 3.06am NZDT
….Today, farming in Gaza takes place primarily in and around urban areas, caught between the annexation of its border farms and urban expansion. A quarter of the population, mostly women, derive their livelihoods from small-scale family farming as both paid and unpaid labour. Nonetheless, and somewhat remarkably, Gaza has proved that it can be self-sufficient in fruits and vegetables. In theory that’s enough to feed its population and bring in export revenue.
However, repeated airstrikes under 55 years of occupation, and a 15-year blockade have dramatically shaped Gaza’s production and consumption patterns. Despite being self-sufficient in some crops, pressures on grazing and arable land result in woefully low cereal production and available animal protein….
…..Despite the now-normalised blockade and regular airstrikes, land invasions still pose the most significant threat. Between 2000 and 2008 it is estimated that 112,000 olive trees were uprooted during Israeli “incursions”.
After Operation Cast Lead (2008-9), the UN documented destruction of soils, vegetable crops, orchards, livestock, wells, hatcheries, beehives, greenhouses, irrigation networks, barns and stables….
…..Biannual herbicide spraying by Israel, allegedly for security purposes, damages hundreds of acres of crops. And regular incursions with bulldozers destroy many more acres of farmland.
Compensation for the destruction of farmland and infrastructure by the Israeli state is supposed to be met by the UN through contributions from member states. To date, no compensation has been made to Palestinian farmers…..
