The 3 Israeli prisoners get headline photos, names reported (multiple times), family member names and comments.
No photo, names, comments for any of the 183 Palestinian prisoners. No headline attention to their emaciated and beaten state. No mention of Israel stopping food from entering Gaza

I disagree too. I think property speculators have to much power over communities. I think we should shift the balance. We should strengthen localism where local communities get to shape how they live.

The Corporate Con.
Brilliant!
Jonathon Pie on privatisation, obscene corporate profit and the mantra of growth.
The answer to societyโs problems is not more โGrowthโ. The answer is limits on individual and corporate greed.
Growth for who and at what cost to people and planet?

By suspending all visas for Israeli soldiers to enter New Zealand the government would be responding to our solemn responsibilities under the Genocide Convention to โprevent and punishโ the crime of genocide.

All these red flags for genocide have been visible for months but your government is still giving the green light to those responsible for war crimes to enter New Zealand.

United Nations officials, the International Court of Justice and now Amnesty International have all variously used the term genocide to describe the actions of the Israeli Defence Forces in Gaza where over 45,000 People โ mostly women and children โ have been slaughtered.

Israelis coming to New Zealand face no such requirements. As well as the working holiday visa, since 2019 Israelis can enter New Zealand for three months without needing a visa at all. This visa-waiver is used by Israeli soldiers today for โrest and recreationโ from the genocide in Gaza.

You will be aware of media reports of Israeli soldiers being denied visas to enter Australia after being required to fill in a 13-page form to determine if they had been involved in war crimes against Palestinians in Gaza.
