23 centres around New Zealand will protest this weekend against the government’s failure to call for an end to Israel’s slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza (see list of events at the end of this advisory)
The protest will also focus on this week’s Luxon-government decision to join the US-led war on Yemen.
At a time when the vast majority of humanity is condemning the Israeli/US rampage in Gaza, our government is pushing against the tide to attack a group demanding an end to the genocide.
Alongside the US, we are giving the fingers to the world.
We are joining the wrong side in the most dangerous divide in world politics.
The National Party has been here before when they defended apartheid South Africa till the dying days of the racist regime. They are on a similar path with the racist, apartheid state of Israel.
National Day of Action against Port Companies
Saturday 27th January is also a national day of action aimed at port companies which service ZIM Shipping – the company bringing arms and ammunition into Israel. This action is incorporated into this week’s actions (see details on leaflet at the end of this advisory)
