13 September 2024 – Over 30 Palestine solidarity protests across 28 centres around the country this weekend will call out the Luxon government’s complicity with genocide.
In the meantime, Israel drops three MK-84 bombs on an Al Mawasi tent encampment in an Israeli designated “safe zone” killing at least 19 and injuring dozens more.
The bombs most likely use Rakon-supplied crystal oscillators for the one tonne (2000lb) bombs’ guidance systems.
The US briefly suspended MK-84 supplies to Israel in May saying Israel could use them in densely populated areas of Gaza. The US resumed sending the bombs and Israel used them as predicted – in the indiscriminate killing of Palestinians.
The details of the protests around the country this weekend are on the PSNA Facebook events page here. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064134091562&sk=events
