SIGN the PETITION our.actionstation.org.nz/petitions/st...
We had a wonderful welcome from Mana Whenua, music from Brass Razoo and some amazing kōrero from the local Iranian community, Pōneke Antifascist Action, Unions Wellington, Aotearoa Healthcare Workers for Palestine and Asians Supporting Tino Rangatiratanga. Thank you all for sharing your whakaaro.
Amazing energy yesterday in Te Whanganui a Tara/Wellington against war. In particular the call was to the NZ State: NO troops, NO frigates, NO intelligence. NO NZ SUPPORT for FASCIST WARS.
Three weeks, three peace actions. Be there! #FreePalestine
The Foreign Minister Winston Peters has failed to call out the genocidal threats of the US and Israeli governments against the 90 million people of Iran as he meets with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Peters' silence in the face of imminent war crimes is not good enough.
MARCH TO STOP US & Israeli WARS Sat 11 April 11am.
Civic Sq >> Parliament
It is an absolutely shameful get-rich-quick-scheme by climate profiteers whose work stands the stolen lands of Palestinians still subject to the most disgusting and violent colonisation and genocide. And frankly wtf is James Shaw thinking lobbying for this shite. Get some moral compass dude.
Radio NZ is today reporting on Israeli company Gigablue's attempts to corrupt the NZ government with law changes in its favour to allow marine dumping in some cooked climate credits scheme. Sanction Israel, don't do business with it. Read the full story here: www.rnz.co.nz/news/environ...
Join our awesome speakers on Tuesday night for a super engaging discussion on the war: with Arman Askarany; Serah Allison and Dr Van Jackson. Tuesday, 31 March 6pm
Venue: 2/57 Willis Street, Wellington
Clusterfuck indeed. It is hard to describe just exactly how insane this war is. #FuckUSA #FuckIsrael #EndEmpire
Exactly how much the Israelis care about the 'freedom' of the Iranian people = fucking zero.
At the same time, and amidst this darkness, millions have awakened to the struggle for a free Palestine and are now making the connections across interlinked oppressions. We send love & solidarity to our Muslim whānau. As-salamu alaykum - peace be upon you.
Remembering 15 March 2019
It has been 7 years since the white supremacist massacre of 51 Muslim men, women and children at two Ōtautahi/Christchurch mosques. Since then fascist violence and genocide have spread across the globe.
Trump Moves dangerously close to deploying ground troops in Iran even as his justifications for war change by the day...We must stop this war before these fascists kill thousands more and burn down the whole world.
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.
