Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa is part of the organising group for this rally at parliament today.
As Israel’s rampage of indiscriminate slaughter in Gaza rolls on our new government has refused to utter even a single syllable of criticism of their actions despite heavily condemning the killing of Israeli civilians on October 7th.
The lives of Israeli civilians mean much more to the new government than the lives of Palestinian civilians.
Israel has now slaughtered over 10,000 children and infants according to Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor – the equivalent of all the children in 36 average sized New Zealand primary schools.
Mr Peters is unmoved.
Instead, he told diplomats yesterday he wants New Zealand to cosy up even closer to the US – the chief enabler of the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.
Winston Peters is a liability to any sense of this country having self-respect or independence in our foreign policy.
He is set to be the first New Zealand Foreign Minister in all of our history to refuse to condemn a genocide taking place before the eyes of the world.
