In more than 25 centres around the country, New Zealanders will be rallying and marching tomorrow in a National Day of Action for Palestine.
(See event details below)
“We will be marching to demand our government sanction Israel and hold it to account for the mass starvation and ethnic cleansing in Gaza” says PSNA Co-Chair Maher Nazzal.
In the last 24 hours stories from Gaza have been headlined:
Gaza hunger “catastrophic” says UN
The day Israeli settlers lynched two young men in the West Bank
“These horrific headlines are a direct result of western government failure – our government included”
“Prime Minister Luxon has just talked for 22 months while Palestinians have faced mass killing and mass starvation”
“Israel doesn’t take any notice of words – only action counts for this genocidal state”
“Without sanctions on Israel now, Luxon’s legacy will be complicity with genocide.”
All out for Gaza tomorrow!
