Israel continues to slaughter Palestinians in Gaza and drive them off their land while approving three more illegal Israeli settlements and thousands of new illegal homes in the occupied West Bank.
Predictably our government remains stoney silent about any of this while New Zealanders take to the streets in their thousands week after week – in 25 centres across the country this weekend.
