Yousef Aljamal – national tour
PSNA is delighted to announce the visit to Aotearoa New Zealand by Palestinian journalist and author Yousef Aljamal. Yousef will address public meetings across the country as well as talking with faith communities, trade union representatives and media organisations.
Yousef will be here from 5 – 19 May and will have public events in Whangarei, Waitangi, Ngāmotu/New Plymouth, Whanganui, Tauranga-Moana, Ōtautahi/Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland.
“This is an opportunity for New Zealanders to hear directly from a key Palestinian journalist and author at a time when Palestinian voices are almost totally absent from our mainstream media” says PSNA Co-national Chair Maher Nazzal.
“For 18 months our media has been flooded with Israeli narratives, Israeli explanations, Israeli justifications and Israeli spokespeople. Israeli propaganda points are relentlessly covered while Palestinians – as the victims of 77 years of brutal oppression, ethnic cleansing and apartheid polices – have been rendered all but invisible”
Yousef’s biographical details:
Yousef is a Palestinian journalist and author. He holds an MA degree from the Department of International and Strategic Studies at the University of Malaya in Malaysia.
He was awarded his PhD from the Middle East Institute at Sakarya University in Turkey.
In addition to his research interests in diaspora, security, and indigenous studies, Yousef Aljamal has been involved on a number of book projects including translations of books on Palestinian prisoners, among them Dreaming of Freedom: Palestinian Child Prisoners Speak (2016), and a collection of stories about the shared struggle of Palestinian and Irish Hunger Strikers.
Most recently he edited If I Must Die: Poetry and Prose by the recently assassinated Refaat Alareer.
Yousef Aljamal has published a number of journal articles on topics that include Palestinians in the diaspora, travel restrictions imposed on Palestinians, and struggles for liberation.
He is also the Gaza Coordinator of the American Friends Service Committee.
Yousef has visited Aotearoa New Zealand before and is familiar with our political landscape.
Public Meetings for Yousef’s first week in Aotearoa New Zealand:
Monday 5 May Whangarei - St John’s Church Hall, 149 Kamo Rd, 7pm
Tuesday 6 May Waitangi Treaty Grounds, Tahuaroa Function Centre, 1pm to 5pm, Waitangi.
Wednesday 7 May Ngāmotu-New Plymouth - St Joseph’s Church Hall,151 Devon St West, 6pm
Thursday 8 May Whanganui - Davis Lecture Theatre, Watt St, 7.30pm
Saturday 10 May Tauranga-Moana - Toi-Ohomai Windermere Campus, LT A03, 3pm
New Zealand ‘nowhere to be seen – again’ – on intensifying Gaza genocide
The Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa is demanding the New Zealand government justify its absence from submitters to the International Court of Justice hearings at the Hague into Israel blocking vital supplies entering Gaza.
The ICJ’s ongoing investigation into Israeli genocide in Gaza is now considering the illegality of Israel cutting off all food, water, fuel, medicine and other essential aid entering Gaza since early March.
Countries submitting include the UK, Spain, Belgium and Malaysia. New Zealand is not on the list for making a submission.
PSNA Co-Chair Maher Nazzal says the New Zealand government has gone completely silent on Israeli atrocities in Gaza.
“A year ago, the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister were making statements about how Israel must comply with international law.”
“They carefully avoided blaming Israel for doing anything wrong, but they issued strong warnings, such as telling Israel that it should not attack the city of Rafah.”
“Israel then bombed Rafah flat. The New Zealand response was to go completely silent.
“Israeli ministers are quite open about driving Palestinians out of Gaza, so Israel can build Israeli settlements there. And they are just as open about using starvation as a weapon.”
“Our government says and does nothing. Chris Luxon had nothing to say about Gaza when he met British Prime Minister Keir Stamer in London earlier in the month. Yet Israel is perpetuating the holocaust of the 21st Century under the noses of both Prime Ministers.”
Maher Nazzal says that it is deeply disappointing that a nation which so proudly invokes its history of standing against apartheid and of championing nuclear disarmament, chooses to not even appear on the sidelines of the ICJ’s legal considerations.
“New Zealand cannot claim to stand for a rules-based international order while selectively avoiding the rules when it comes to Palestine.”
“We want the New Zealand government to urgently explain to the public its absence from the ICJ hearings. We need it to commit to participating in all future international legal processes to uphold Palestinian rights, and fulfil its ICJ obligations to impose sanctions on Israel to force its withdrawal from the Palestinian Occupied Territory.”
“If even small countries, such as Vanuatu, can commit their meagre resources to go to make a case to the ICJ, then surely our government can at the very least do the same.’
See here for the official list of countries and other organisations submitting to the ICJ

Changing of the Guard – Secretarial changes
Based on workload, Neil Scott has decided to stand down from Secretary and focus on the Administration (website changes, newsletter sending and a raft of other actions. . .) which takes up a lot of his time.
At the National Hui earlier this year, Anne Hare (based in Welington) was voted in as the new Treasurer of PSNA.
There were discussions about merging the role of Treasurer and Secretary and this is going ahead.
Neil will still be involved with the national committee as well as involvement with planning in Tamaki Makaurau.
Arrangements for the changes have been made and from today, emails to Secretary@PSNA.nz will be going to Anne Hare.
To contact Neil Scott, you can email him at Admin@PSNA.nz
Please welcome Anne to the team.

Broadcasting Standards Authority upholds PSNA complaint against TVNZ
The BSA has issued a rare ruling against 1News for its broadcast on the violent rampage of Macabee Tel Aviv fans in Amsterdam, back in early November.
Local videographers had recorded graphic images of the Israelis beating locals in the street as they targeted anyone they suspected of being Muslim or supporting Palestine. The footage was supplied to Reuters.
However, Joe Biden, Benjamin Netanyahu and the Mayor of Amsterdam turned the story on its head and claimed they were antisemitic attacks on Israeli soccer fans. TVNZ complied and also switched the story to breathlessly describe the footage as ‘antisemitic’ and ‘disturbing’.
1News refused to issue a correction when PSNA asked, and doubled down to repeat the claims of antisemitism in a subsequent broadcast.
PSNA referred its complaint to the BSA, who upheld it led to a ‘materially misleading impression’ created by 1News.
Otago University staff and student declaration in support of BDS to be launched on NAKBA Day - 15 May
ATTN: University of Otago Staff, Students and Alumni!
This declaration is not about asking the University management to do something. It is a statement that we are making as a collective of staff, students and alumni to show our support for Palestine and for International Law. Our political and institutional leaders may be weak, but we can and must come together as people to do the right thing and show our solidarity for the Palestinian academic community and the Palestinian people more broadly. Please note that you can sign as current or former students, current or former staff.
On May 15, the 77th anniversary of the Nakba, we are holding the Congress to adopt the Otago Declaration on Palestine. The Congress is an autonomous action from and with the University of Otago community to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people and fulfil our duty to act as critic and conscience of society.
The event/declaration is as follows: Staff, students, and graduates are invited to attend and/or sign the Declaration. Former staff and students are also invited to attend and sign. Join us on May 15 from 12-1pm on the Otago Museum lawn. We'd love to have as many people attend in person as possible obviously, but please still sign your name even if you cannot attend the in-person event. Please also share with other students, staff and alumni that you know, including those no longer in Ōtepoti.

Remembering Pope Frances on Gaza
Before his death Pope Francis had been ramping up criticism of Israel's military campaign in Gaza, calling the humanitarian situation in the Palestinian enclave "very serious and shameful" in January.
In the Easter message, the pontiff said the situation in Gaza was "dramatic and deplorable". The pope also called on Palestinian militant group Hamas to release its remaining hostages and condemned what he said was a "worrisome" trend of antisemitism in the world. "I appeal to the warring parties: call a ceasefire, release the hostages and come to the aid of a starving people that aspires to a future of peace," it said.
The Doctor’s Wife – how to organize a local screening
Among the many excellent documentaries which are being screened by the Palestine solidarity movement around New Zealand is an absolute gem of a film by local filmmaker Paula Jones and associate director Tamara Azizian.
The film is “The Doctor’s Wife” and follows the decades long work of Dr Alan Kerr, a surgeon from New Zealand, and his wife Hazel in the hospitals of Palestine.
We would encourage everyone around the country to organise local screenings of the film – even with family and friends in your living room – and raise funds for the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF)
All details of organising a local film screening are on the website here: https://whitioraproductions.com/the-doctors-wife
May Day Concert for Palestine in Palmerston North
If you are anywhere near Palmerston North on 3 May - this is the place to be - it will be fantastic - all proceeds from the evening will go to PSNA for Palestine solidarity campaigning.
Keep spreading the message about the Genocide Hotline!
Remember possible action for local groups
For groups affiliated to PSNA we suggest the following actions could be taken at any time in support of this campaign
Asking your local backpacker accommodation to display the poster and draw it to the attention of any Israeli soldiers here on “rest and recreation” from the genocide.
Pasting the hotline poster (use the version in this newsletter which includes a contact email) around the vicinity of backpacker venues in your local area. This is already happening in some areas.
Hand out flyers to people in the vicinity of your local backpackers
Contact us on the hotline if you come across Israeli soldiers

Are you able to donate a cup of coffee a month to the campaign?
We will need some serious money to make our campaign as effective as possible. For example, we will need somewhere in the vicinity of $25,000 to bring speakers to New Zealand over the next year and organise large public meetings to help spread the message.
You can help. Are you able to donate a cup of coffee a month to the campaign? In other words, can you afford to make an automatic payment of $5 per month to support the Palestinian struggle? (If you can afford more that would be great!)

In Occupied Palestine daily newsletter – an invitation to subscribe from Leslie Bravery
Because of mainstream news media complicity, daily headlines and commentary only occasionally ever mention the relentless Israeli violence in Palestine, not even the frequent air strikes!
However, daily news and statistics regarding the violence Palestinians are forced to live under are regularly reported on in the “In Occupied Palestine daily newsletter”, sourced and compiled for easy reading and correlation chiefly from the Palestinian Monitoring Group's daily situation reports.
The In Occupied Palestine daily newsletter continues to be circulated, by email, worldwide to subscribers only, as it has been over the last two decades.
