While the stench of decaying morality hangs over the coalition government and its MPs after 15 months of complicity with genocide, nationwide protests against Israel’s genocide continue in 2025.
“Over 15 months of weekly nationwide protests is unprecedented in New Zealand history on any issue at any time” says PSNA National Chair John Minto. “We are enormously proud of New Zealanders who stand with the vast mass of humanity against Israel’s systematic, indiscriminate killing of Palestinians in Gaza”
“This week’s protests are the first of New Year and they will continue while our government cowers under the bedclothes and refuses to sanction Israel for genocide”
The horrendous official death toll stands at more than 45,000 – the majority killed being women and children.
Today’s death toll of innocents killed is a repeating nightmare for Palestine while our western media highlight every utterance of filthy Israeli propaganda to justify the endless massacres while ignoring Palestinian voices.
