PSNA is calling for the New Zealand government to demand Israel release the activists kidnapped from the global flotilla in international waters and allow them to sail to Gaza with humanitarian aid for the people under Israel’s genocide.
There are four New Zealand activists in the group of ships intercepted by Israel and some have been kidnapped by Israel already from boats in international water.
These New Zealanders represent the absolute best of our country – taking part in an aid mission to millions of people suffering a genocide in Gaza.
“Our government must stand beside them and insist their humanitarian mission must continue”
“Our government has failed to hold Israel to account for genocide but it can stand by other New Zealanders and demand Israel allow them to deliver aid to Gaza.
Bianca Webb-Pullman
New Zealander Bianca Webb-Pullman (a medical doctor) is on the flotilla and the boat she is on (the “Florida”) has been rammed by an Israeli naval vessel. Bianca has thrown her phone overboard and the boat is on its way again.
Media can speak with Bianca’s partner Stephen Rowe in Raumati South on 0211177379.
Rallies around NZ
Various events are being held around the country including a rally in Ōtautahi/Christchurch at 5pm at the Bridge of Remembrance this evening (see poster below) where large posters will identify our political leaders who are complicit with genocide.
