    My piece on Iran’s Team Meli. “Equating the jersey with the regime overlooks the team's long history, which predates and transcends any particular government. It punishes dedicated players for circumstances beyond their control. More importantly, it squanders a precious

    Watch this incredible protest as the indigenous Maori MPs perform a haka to disrupt the vote on a bill that seeks to diminish their rights. Imagine if Western politicians had the same courage to stand up to genocide and shame Israel in similar ways.

    It’s heartbreaking but I don’t see a girl breaking down, I see a brave, eloquent, defiant and resilient 10-year-old girl with big ambitions and resolve to help her people. I don’t see a victim, I see a potential future leader.

    Such a one-sided view of history and most of it was unchallenged. Palestinians were offered something in 2000 but it wasn’t a state by any stretch of imagination. And before Oct 7, the West Bank (where Hamas does not operate) had one of its deadliest year ever.

    Owen Jones is not alone. I, too, will never get over this or look at the world quite the same way ever again. He is also right when he says: “This has to be a lesson that we learn and act on.”

    Israel's mass slaughter was made possible by Western politicians and media outlets. They must not be allowed to walk away from the crime scene, hoping everyone will forget they were there in the first place.

    Something truly beautiful is taking place in Aotearoa, New Zealand as masses are mobilized to unify against a minor party’s attempt to rewrite our constitution and remove indigenous rights. #ToitūTeTiriti 🫶🏼

    Replying to @PiersUncensored @TzipiHotovely and 2 others
    When Piers Morgan asked Jeremy Corbyn a question he didn’t answer, he repeated the question 12 times while talking over him. Not here. Morgan gives Tzipi Hotovely an easy pass to broadcast unverified Israeli propaganda.

    “It is not race, but wealth that is dividing New Zealanders” #ToitūTeTiriti
    OPINION: How we respond to this bill will no doubt inspire many around the world who are looking to us as inspiration for safeguarding indigenous rights.
    Time to tell the real story on ACT’s divisive bill

    Mayor of Christchurch, in New Zealand, Phil Mauger, issues a letter urging the global network of Mayors For Peace to ask for a ceasefire in Gaza. Thank you mayor Phil Maguer.

    A reminder Jacinda Ardern & ministers took a pay cut in solidarity with those hit by Covid. Today the PM cancelled her wedding in another act of solidarity. Contrast this with the rule-breaking UK PM Boris Johnston. Clear, decisive and empathetic leadership saves lives.

    Ryan Girdusky’s attack against Mehdi Hasan during a live CNN debate is hugely revealing. It exposes the fascistic doctrine that has enabled the indiscriminate mass slaughters in Palestine and now Lebanon. Namely that anyone who supports the liberation of Palestinians is a

    Hamas dropped the call for destruction of Israel 15 years ago. Yes, 15 years ago!! This intentionally misleading ad, is a sign of pure desperation to gain sympathy for Israel’s indefensible actions in Gaza. google.co.nz/amp/s/amp.theg…
