Assaulting people while they pray peacefully in public is a new low for the Australian police. Shame on them. #Herzog #Gaza

This is happening in Australia

Can it happen here?
Of course, what you tolerate happening in other countries will happen here

You, every single one of you,needs to stand up now

You tolerated it in Gaza,thatโ€™s exactly why itโ€™s happening in the US and Aus

What makes you think it wonโ€™t happen here?

This is horrific for our country. We are going down a terrible path and the opposition is so incredibly ill equipped.

๐Ÿ”ด RED RIBBONS CAMPAIGN The Red Ribbons Campaign is a digital civil initiative aimed at highlighting the plight of Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli prisons and keeping their situation visible in public and media discourse, amid ongoing policies of arbitrary detention, imprisonment without trial, and harsh detention conditions. 

The campaign emphasises the human dimension of the prisonersโ€™ cause, reminding audiences that detainees are not numbers, but individuals with names, families, and lives interrupted by incarceration. 

Among them are doctors, academics, and civil figures, including Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and others, whose detention reflects the targeting of Palestinian professional and community leadership. 

Using the red ribbon as a unifying visual symbol, the campaign calls for coordinated online action to broaden international solidarity and re-centre the issue of Palestinian prisoners as a core human rights concern.

Stand with them.

Post your messages of support. 

Use the hashtags: #FreePalHostages and in Arabic: #ุงู„ุญุฑูŠุฉ_ู„ู„ุฃุณุฑู‰

The front of a PSNA march in ลŒtautahi on the 13th of December 2025. A wade banner held by 6 people reads "Sanction Israel for Genocide" The angle is low with the bottom of the screen showing the street with tram tracks and a large arrow pointing directly at the viewer. Behind the banner we see the many Palestinian flags held by marchers following the banner.

Imperialism With Impunity

We were all shocked by the violent death of Renee Good at the hands of an ICE agent, and so we should be. However, was the death of a white woman with three children who lost her partner recently more shocking than the many thousands of deaths of Palestinian civilians in frighteningly similar circumstances?

How does it happen that these circumstances can be so similar, and, should we be concerned here in Aotearoa?

After all weโ€™re safe here arenโ€™t we? So far away from both Palestine and Minnesota

What many supporters of Palestine have been saying is that when a politician supports violence against a civilian population abroad (as many politicians here do), theyโ€™re letting us know that they think that this is also acceptable at home 

Weโ€™re seeing this clearly now in the US, however, the same imperialism that is driving violence there is also what is driving a more subtle (so far) violence here against our indigenous population and other minorities here

Palestine has ripped the mask off

Now that we can see the true face of imperialism are we prepared to stand up against it?

How many times have we been told that the leader was a dictator only to find out that they were a socialist who cared about sovereignty?
