Kia ora Mr Luxon and all National MPs,
The indelible stain on the moral character of the National Party
We cannot remember a previous time when a New Zealand government has been silent in the face of industrial-scale killing of civilians anywhere in the world.
Our governments have spoken out to condemn those committing war crimes such as consciously and deliberately bombing and starving civilians and destroying civilian infrastructure.
There is no possibility of you saying in the future “I didn’t know”. You do.
Foreign Affairs is not something to be contracted out, with no responsibility to you, to the most reactionary elements of your government. You can’t wash your hands and walk away.
Please don’t respond with the empty statements of “deep concern” etc which we have had for 18 months.
It’s too late to repair the damage from your 18 months of silence but it’s not too late to speak out now to save some of the lives which will be lost if you continue to look the other way.
<Your name>
In conversation with Jeffrey Sachs: Palestine and the crisis of the international order – MLN Webinar

Yousef Aljamal Aotearoa NZ tour new schedule
Yousef’s immigration difficulties have been resolved the he’s back on schedule to visit many centres here from mid June.
Yousef is a Palestinian journalist and author from Gaza, with a MA degree from the University of Malaya and PhD from the Middle East Institute at Sakarya University in Turkey.
His interests include diaspora and security, and indigenous studies, and book projects include 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, Yousef edited If I Must Die: Poetry and Prose, by the recently assassinated Dr Refaat Alareer, who he will be extensively discussing during his visit.
Keep an eye out for local events.
Yousef will be in Northland on the 16th and 17th June, New Plymouth on the 18th, Whanganui 19th and Tauranga 20th and 21st.
The following week he will be in Christchurch on the 23rd, Wellington until the 26th and his Auckland programme begins on 27th June.
PSNA joins with the New Zealand Māori Council to appeal for urgent action on Gaza
Last Thursday PSNA and the New Zealand Māori Council jointly published an advertisement in the Waikato Times (Hamilton), the Post (Wellington) and the Press (Christchurch) appealing to the government to speak out against Israel’s deliberate starvation of Palestinians in Gaza.
If you can help support the add and future adds we’d appreciate your financial support. You can direct credit to the account name and number in the advertisement above.

Message from Dion Martin – organizer of the May Day Concert in Palmerston North:
A huge thanks to everyone for your contribution to making MayDay Concert 2025, celebrating International Workers Day, such a great success.
We were ‘over the moon’ to have a full house, and even had to find single seats for those who were sitting on the stairs.
The audience were really buzzing and engaged and all the feedback we got afterwards was that it was “really enjoyable”, “deeply moving and profound”, “wonderful show”, “great evening”, “wow what a night”, “ I just wanted to say what a fab night it was last night, so much fun, so much talent, great speakers and supper”
The evening raised almost $1,000 for Palestine solidarity work.
Thank you Dion and everyone involved in making this such a big success!
Peter Lange’s Brick for Palestine
This brick is black on which FREE PALESTINE is rendered in enamel and fired at 750 degrees C!!
Since the 1980s, Lange has been a leading figure in the New Zealand ceramics and pottery scene. As Dan Chapell writes: "In the case of his brick sculptures, there's a surprising sense of lightness and 'user-friendliness' that belies the material he's used". Alistar Carruthers states of Lange: "He is a risk-taker with an ability to engage people in the ideas he works with in his practice. His wit and imagination are always manifest in his work.”
At present the item on display until 7pm, 17 May, 250 Ponsonby Road
Bidding has begun at $200 and the funds raised will be donated in full to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund NZ*.
Methodists divest from Rocket Lab
The Methodist Church has divested from Rocket Lab. Their divestment motion says:
"A decision was taken by the MTA Board in our February 2025 Board meeting to instruct our Executive Officer to exit in an appropriate and timely manner the stock holding in Rocket Lab. The Board acknowledged this decision may have financial consequences on this year’s returns but believed this decision was aligned with our obligations to comply with our socially responsible investing practices. It was noted that the holding was not in breach of our specific policies and procedures, but the Board's view was that, at this time, we were not comfortable with some of the alignment of the company as an investment option with Methodist ideologies".
One of the issues with Rocket Lab is that it has begun to launch rockets with satellites for Black Sky Technologies. Black Sky has a contract with the Israeli military for high resolution satellite images which are used in the targeting of Israeli bombs on civilian infrastructure in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen. PSNA has written to the government asking that approval for these launches be withdrawn. The government, true to form, puts US/Israeli interests ahead of Palestinian human rights.
Police pepper-spraying Palestine solidarity protestor “unlawful”
Quotes of the week
“The fact that the silence persists as Israel’s end goals have been made clear confirms that the extermination of Gaza was never the vision of the Israeli far-right, or even of Netanyahu personally; it was an international decision.”
—-Qassam Muaddi; Palestinian Journalist.
“[T]he US and European countries that tout Israel as an ally that shares their values have issued barely a word of condemnation. They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity.”
—Financial Times Editorial
“There’s only one word to describe this, and this is aid-washing.
This is a cynical attempt by the state of Israel and its allies … to use aid to hide the fact that what’s actually going on is people are being starved into submission. They’re being starved as a part of the mass and illegal force displacement, which is very much part of Israel’s genocidal ambitions against the Palestinians.”
—Chris Gunness; Former UNRWA spokesperson
“Starvation in Gaza has become yet another tool of death employed by Israel: its slowest and most agonizing weapon. It does not come with the sound of explosions; it silently erodes life day by day, further deepening an already dire humanitarian crisis.”
—Wesam Abo Marq; Palestinian Journalist

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
Comment from screenings in Hawkes Bay
“A full hall both days for the showing of "The Doctors Wife" a beautiful story of Dr Alan Kerr and his wife Hazel who travel to Palestine many times, for Alan to do Heart surgery while Hazel teaches drama to the children in the refugee camps”
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

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.
Please contact lesliebravery@icloud.com if you also wish to become a subscriber.
