Needless to say protests continue around the country today against Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza and the government’s ongoing complicity of silence with the most appalling of all war crimes.
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon spoke eloquently yesterday about the murder of 51 Muslims in Christchurch five years ago – six of whom were Palestinian New Zealanders – but has provided only meaningless mumbles of concern for the wholesale slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza.
Details of the protests against the government and its racist anti-Palestinian policies are on our Facebook event page here
