Protests across Aotearoa New Zealand this weekend to mark United Nations International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian people
29 November, is the United Nations International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian people and New Zealanders will mark this day with dozens of solidarity actions around the country this weekend.
“The coalition government is still missing in action” says PSNA National Chair John Minto. “They are still refusing to take even baby steps to hold Israel to account for its mass slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza” says PSNA National Chair John Minto.
“The government’s agenda is not to offend the US/Israel while we are demanding an end to hypocrisy”
“Even while Israel starves to death people in Northern Gaza our government looks the other way – ignoring all UN reports demanding immediate action for humanitarian aid.” says John Minto. “Our government is committed to the US when it should be committed to the UN”
