Yes. Here in Aotearoa New Zealand our frontline thug police fired pepper spray directly into our eyes. In my case they were trying to prevent me filming as they pushed a protester to the pavement and pressed on his chest. Several of our Palestine Soldiarity Network Members were arrested. But in better news our Christchurch City Council has voted to stop trading with the illegal Israeli occupier. No business for genocide.

I faced some flak by a couple of people on George Saunders' substack recently when I criticised Harris for her genocide-as-usual approach to this issue. It is a shame I feel the need to call on my Jewish ancestry to stand with Jews for peace and show I am not anti semitic, so much false flag waving. I keep pointing out that this is humanitarianism. That it is wrong for any one group to take power over another, to view itself as superior to another. It is not only wrong, it is a crime.

The expansionism and extermination and all the many cruel weapoons of colonisation and financial capitalism that fuel inequity must cease. We must decide whether we want a fair world for all our children and all of theirs and to stand alongside mother nature. It is time to unite together for a very just cause.
