I grieve over the designation of any practical effort to stop the slaughter in Gaza as “terrorism”.

I grieve over the condemnation by politicians and the media of my grief as “antisemitism”.

NZ government

Heartless and spineless in their inaction and also in their actions

Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa @psna-otautahi.bsky.social · 1d

You may have heard Peters trying to make the situation with the abducted NZers all about him

They’ve been released and their flights home paid for by the people who love them

Unlike Peters, who has all his flights paid for by taxpayers

There is *literally* only one side inciting & escalating political violence & almost all NZ msm are claiming it's the other way around

This is the fascist turn happening in real time. Sorry to break it to you - a bunch of propagandists & decision makers across media & business have chosen sides

Rana, Youssef, and Sam deserve a hero's welcome when/if they get to Auckland.

I protect human rights from the comfort of my office; they put their bodies on the line for it, and that shows great moral courage.
