Protests across the country again today while the government “play-acts” concern for Palestinians
Our government continues its inexcusable support for Israel while it attacks and condemns Palestinian organisations and any acts of Palestinian resistance.
Early this week the government announced it was declaring Hamas to be a “terrorist organisation” despite having no evidence it was Hamas that was responsible for war crimes committed in the October 7th attack on Israel. It was a disgraceful cowardly announcement.
At the same time the government has not once condemned Israel’s genocidal barbarity against Palestinians in Gaza over the past five months in which more than 30,000 Palestinians have now died.
Here for example is Winston Peters’ tweet yesterday saying the government is “appalled” at the Israeli slaughter of over 100 Palestinians desperate for food – no condemnation of Israel, not even a mention of those responsible for the slaughter – the Israeli Defence Force.
The government is play-acting concern for Palestinians while it stands firmly with the US/Israel.
Government announcements are based on the most vile anti-Palestinian racism – excusing pretty much everything the apartheid state of Israel has done in its 76 years of brutal oppression of Palestinians but condemning and demonising every act of Palestinian resistance.

John, take a break.
Israel has no right to behave like they have done for the last 20 years taking peoples land and killing others that resist the theft .The exact same thing happened here in the 1860s ,women and children were slaughtered in their homes and their land taken .60000 ACRES SURROUNDING TE AWAMUTU ,AS WAS CELEBRATED THIS WEEK WHEN THE ANGALICAN CHURCH GAVE BACK 10 OF THOSE ACRES .

HAMAS utterly reject Israel in any form. The section I singled out says as much. Pre-1948. Post-1948, pre-1967; post-1967, pre-1973; post-1973-present. It matters not one jot to them. Israel is bad to HAMAS and is all that HAMAS want you to know: Israel is bad; Israel must go.
That’s all HAMAS wants you to know about Israel and Israelis.
I suppose the hostages just one day up and walked into Gaza just for a look around too.
Your resistance is another’s rape, murder and hostage taking
We know you like to do those things, zionist. Why don’t you have any credible accusations against we human beings?
France, Germany and now Great Britain are cracking down on these protests and Islamist terror groups.
Now that we have finally designated Hamas as the terrorists they always were can we have some action on our streets too?
