23 centres nationwide to protest Israeli/US genocide in Gaza and New Zealand joining the US-led war on Yemen
23 centres around New Zealand will protest this weekend against the government’s failure to call for an end to Israel’s slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza (see list of events at the end of this advisory)
The protest will also focus on this week’s Luxon-government decision to join the US-led war on Yemen.
At a time when the vast majority of humanity is condemning the Israeli/US rampage in Gaza, our government is pushing against the tide to attack a group demanding an end to the genocide.
Alongside the US, we are giving the fingers to the world.
We are joining the wrong side in the most dangerous divide in world politics.
The National Party has been here before when they defended apartheid South Africa till the dying days of the racist regime. They are on a similar path with the racist, apartheid state of Israel.

Leaflet for National Day of Action against our Port Companies
Will there be facilities there to donate directly to Hamas and / or further terrorist organisations such as The Taliban / Isis?
They’re all largely funded by the US or Israel…..thus you should direct your query in their direction.
Yes, and not only that, there will be a specialist there with all the information on how you can get that gender reassignment that you so desperately want, you’ll be able to finally come out to the world as Jane Brown.
Will there be anyone there that has any clue that they are siding with the enemy?
Does the IDF have to slaughter women and children while they pretend to be remotely concerned about getting the hostages back? I don’t think asking that question has anything to do with “siding with the enemy”. The Israeli administration is every bit as feral as Hamas.
The real problem James is the terrorist state of Israel and the United States. Both terrorist States. Ever listened to Noam Chomsky the Jewish linguist, academic and public intellectual and citizen of the United States
https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/want-to-understand-israel-palestine-consume-noam-chomsky-not-corporate-media
Let me know when you have watched that and read these books – then and only then will you understand why Hamas was elected in Palestine and if voting were held tomorrow Hamas would be re-elected.
The ethnic cleansing of Palestine – Ilane Pappe (Jewish)
Israel a Beachhead in the middle east – Stephen Gowans
The Palestine Laboratory – Antony Loewenstein (Jewish)
The Last Earth – Ramzy Baroud (Palestinian)
The making of Hamas’s foreign policy – Daud Abdullah ( former Deputy Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain)
The Great War for Civilisation – Robert Fisk (deceased, middle East journalist)
The Question of Palestine – Edward Said (Palestinian)
The biggest prison on earth – Ilane Pappe (Jewish)
On Palestine – Noam Chomsky (Jewish)
Palestine a four thousand year history – Nurma Masalha (Palestinian)
The Invention of the land of Israel – Shlomo Sand (Jewish)
Of course I am aware of Noam Chomsky – seriously is there anyone in the world who isn’t?
Of course calling out the slaughter of women and children is exactly the same thing as giving money to terrorists. Muppet
But not the slaughter of Jews?
The more Hamas and their supporters are taken out by Israel the larger and more strident these pro Hamas rallies will become
Simply put, the greater the genocide, the harder it becomes to hide from the world.
