Peace Action Wellington

Israel and the US started this war. The war has no basis under international law. It is illegal. Israel and the US have nuclear weapons. Iran does not.

NZ's media is platforming pro-war voices who endlessly repeat US and Israeli talking points.

If you are watching Western media of the US and Israeli war on Iran...you aren’t getting the whole story. Remember, this is the same media that has been covering up Israel’s genocide for the past two+ years. NZ's media is platforming pro-war voices who endlessly repeat US and Israeli talking points.

Historian here history first time as tragedy the second time as farce.

Awesome anti-war solidarity in Te Whanganui a Tara/Wellington yesterday. Thanks to all our speakers: Bahram (from the Iranian community), Marilyn (Alternative Jewish Voices), Sandra Grey (NZ CTU), Serah (VUW Socialists), Ashok Jacob (Unions Wellington) and Teanau Tuiono (Greens). Ngā mihi koutou!

The crimes of the Iranian government against its own people are enormous, including the slaughter of thousands of its young people, but that provides no basis for war. This is not even the justification given for their war - and will simply result in the killing of more ordinary Iranian people.

Peace Action Wellington condemns the illegal war launched by the US and Israel. There is no justification for so-called “pre-emptive” war. This is an aggressive war: there was no threat to the US or Israel. There is no material difference between this and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Peace Action Wellington is calling a peace vigil on Monday, 2 March at 5:30pm meeting at the Cenotaph on the corner of Lambton Quay and Bowen Street. All people who oppose war are welcome.

The NZG has just increased the number of launches from Rocket Lab's Māhia pad to 1000 per year from 100. Any and all of the space junk that comes back to earth from launches here - from very likely collisions - is the responsibility of the NZG not the company. Great interview with Dr Lawler on RNZ

YES YES YES! UK High Court rules Palestine Action terror ban is unlawful. F*ck the zionist genocide-loving UK government. DEFEND the RIGHT to PROTEST. FREE FREE PALESTINE.

Eight Muslim-majority countries have denounced Israel for trying to impose “unlawful Israeli sovereignty” in the occupied West Bank, after it approved controversial new measures expanding its control and making it easier for Israeli settlers to buy land.

Israel’s security cabinet has approved a series of sweeping measures to expand its powers across the occupied West Bank, including easing the sale of Palestinian land to Israeli settlers and expanding the powers of Israeli authorities in areas under Palestinian control.

Will NZ stand up against the illegal annexation of the West Bank?

This is what is due to happen at Sam's Creek in Takaka. Please check out Save Our Springs - Te Waikoropupū as action is getting ready to kick into high gear. www.saveoursprings.nz

NZ Government wants to provide Trump access to our critical minerals. The specific danger here is giant gold mining (where antimony is found as well) to be used in weapons manufacturing by the USA. Just for starters.

Transformation IS possible, but it doesn't come without struggle. Shout out all those working for radical transformation & justice.

Instead those were all taken from them by violence - the violence of the Crown, the violence of Pākehā settlers - time and time again. Our nation sits atop a mountain of violence and pain, and those with power continue to inflict this violence on Māori.

Those who signed Te Tiriti never, ever gave over their freedoms, their wealth or their right to be in charge of their own affairs.

who is living on the streets, who is having their babies taken from them, who is having their resources stolen from them...It is Māori.

who is being racially profiled by our police, who is dying of almost every preventable disease earlier, who is losing their jobs earlier or already moved to Australia,

If we imagine for a moment that we are anywhere near a truly "peaceful" place, we need only look at who is sitting in our nation's prisons,

Waitangi Day 2021 is not a day for celebration. Instead it must be a day to recommit to building an Aotearoa based on real justice: Te Tiriti o Waitangi and He Whakaputanga o Nui Tireni.

NZ must reject Trump's plan for Gaza. #FreePalestine

Looking forward to seeing all you lovely people on Saturday to resist Trump's fascist agenda and world war 3. Hands off Latin America! Hands Off Greenland! Meeting at 2pm at Parliament grounds and marching to the US Embassy. Bring your banners, placards etc.

A gathering of war criminals, genocide supporters and fascists including Tony Blair and Jared Kushner to rule Gaza. Is this Luxon's 'reward' for not supporting Palestinian statehood?

Hands off Latin America. Smash U.S. imperialism. Power to the people to determine their own future. Join and stand against fascism and imperialism: Saturday 24 Jan 2pm at Parliament

No one should be surprised by the complete uselessness of the NZ Police in proactively addressing widespread sexual harassment of women and children. They have never taken much interest in the endless death threats to female MPs & activists.

In late 2025, Xero, a NZ company that specialises in accounting software, acquired the Israeli fintech company Melio, for $3 billion.

What NZ company invested $3 billion in Israel while it murdered thousands of Palestinians in 2025?
