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

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

🔴 RED RIBBONS CAMPAIGN Details in alt text. #FreePalHostages #الحرية_للأسرى image: @psnaotearoa [IG]
🔴 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 prisoners’ 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.
6:47 AM

Join us this Thursday, 15 January, at 6:00 pm GMT / 8:00 pm Jerusalem time, in a global online action in solidarity with the Palestinian hostages held in Israeli prisons. 

They are detained under a system that has gone as far as passing laws that enable their execution. We have heard documented accounts of torture and abuse. 

Stand with them. 

Change your profile pictures in solidarity. 

Post your messages of support. 

Use the hashtags: #FreePalHostages and in Arabic: #الحرية_للأسرى 

Your voice matters. 

Your post can be their lifeline.

The front of a PSNA march in Ōtautahi 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.

Every Life is Precious The similarities between what happened in Minnesota and what is happening in Palestine #NZPol
Minnesota/Palestine
- In both places:

Killers are trained by IDF

Medics are prevented from attending 

Ambulances are blocked from assisting 

Every Life is Precious Minnesota/Palestine
- In both places:

The victim is blamed for their own death 

There’s no accountability for the perpetrators 

Authorities lie to protect the system 

Every Life is Precious 
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 we’re safe here aren’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), they’re letting us know that they think that this is also acceptable at home 

We’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?

It's so fucked up seeing western liberal democracies draw up all kinds of "solutions" to "end" the genocide in Palestine, without consulting Palestinians, with all of those solutions aimed at helping the white settler colonial apartheid ethnostate consolidate its occupation of Palestine. I hate it!

Meanwhile, a new report by Reporters Without Borders finds Israel has killed more journalists in 2025 than any other country — for the third year running. The report found Israel’s military liable for the deaths of 29 Palestinian journalists, among 67 journalists killed around the world this year.
