International Day of Action for Palestine – 17 February Aotearoa joins in across the country
Palestine solidarity supporters will be marching with millions of others around the world tomorrow demanding Israel cease the wholesale slaughter of Palestinians as directed by the International Court of Justice.
It’s been a week when the New Zealand government has finally begun to criticise Israel after four months of refusal to condemn the killing of over 28,000 Palestinians – mainly women and children.
The marches are demanding our government:
- Condemn the Israeli slaughter and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians
- No attack on Rafah
- Reinstate funding for the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestinians
- Call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza
- Withdraw from the war on Yemen
Details of the protest events across the country are on our Facebook event page here (with the basic details below)

If Hamas surrender and turn over all the hostages the war would be over. So who doesn’t want a ceasefire now?
Netanyahu for one. What a stupid question
If Netanyahu didn’t help create and then heavily fund, Hamas, this may have never have happened. Too right I heart People. And please, don’t upset good pal Benjamin with ceasefire lingo…you know as well as anybody that genocide is the name of this game. Lots and lots and lots of I Heart People Tears for the two of you to enjoy, after all.
I did not see on this website a single image of the bodies raped and mutilated by your terrorist friends. Why the double standards?
Because they don’t exist. I sucker is born every second, hence why propaganda exists.

The BBC disagrees with you for a start AO but then again MSM is just a vast conspiracy yeah?
So there’s your answer. The msm is full of coverage of things that are somehow used to justify Netanyahu being an a’hole.
Nothing is conspiracy if it can be proven, and in light of the level of proof the two Grayzone links, above, have provided to support their work, I can see why there is no BBC link forthcoming from you. Wise not to show baseless BBC material next to appropriately-sourced, independent media work.
