A perfect article for IWD.. Marama looks stunning in the Palestinian thobe, which matches her stunning and principled commitment to end the siege on Gaza and on this day remind us of the phenomenal women of Gaza who struggle to give their families a decent life in the face of the DAILY zionist war crime atrocities.

Well done, Marama! Anything that exposes Israel’s imperialistic ambitions in the Middle East is to be applauded!!

The Women’s Boat to Gaza was intercepted in international waters. The women were kidnapped really, and taken to Ashdod Israel where they faced demands to confess to entering Israel illegally! How is that for chutzpah!
They refused to sign such ‘confessions’, after all they were not intending to go to Israel!
What about our Government? What was their reaction to this treatment of a NZ MP? Did they call in the Israeli ambassador to demand the release of Marama and the other women, and , more, demand that the Israelis apologize and allow the peace boat to continue to Gaza?
Hardly! All John Key could say was that Marama’s participation was a “bad look.”
Well maybe, PM, it’s a “bad look” to blockade and isolate nearly 2 million people, in conditions the UN has described as approaching ‘unlivable’. Maybe it’s a “bad look” for Western leaders to ignore a great cruelty. Maybe it’s a “bad look” to be on the side of justice!
