Palestine in the papers this week – PSNA Ad campaign

This full-page ad was in the New Zealand Herald today and a similar ad will be in the Stuff newspapers across the country later this week.

After 21 months of genocide our government has not taken a single serious step to hold Israel to account. It has used every synonym for catastrophe to describe the situation and while it condemned Israeli actions for the first time recently, it has refused to hold Israel to account – it has refused to sanction Israel in any meaningful way.

On the National Day of Action for Palestine we will co-ordinate our calls around the country to “End the Starvation – Sanction Israel!”


Five things you can do now for Palestine…

1.       Copy and paste the advertisement above on to your social media pages and encourage others to share it.

4.       Copy the Boycott SodaStream circular image (see below) and share on your social media pages.

5.       Get some of the new “Contaminated with apartheid” stickers for your dashboard, driver’s window and petrol cap - please check with your local solidarity group and/or contact us on Merchandise@PSNA.nz


Noel Leeming the first focus of SodaStream campaign

The Noel Leeming stores are our first selected focus for the PSNA Swap out of Sodastream campaign.

A lesson we learnt from last year's Nobela action was that to be effective we need to target the retailer and not just the product.

Any decision to drop Sodastream products from the shelves will be made by the retailer - not Sodastream.

That retailer is more likely to decide to Swap out of Sodastream if we concentrate pressure on them.

It's only by making life uncomfortable for the operators of the more than 70 Noel Leemings around the country, will their accountants and brand managers ever decide to drop Sodastream.

Noel Leeming also stocks another BDS target - Hewlett Packard.  

Remember when you take action, tell us your stories for the PSNA Newsletter at sodastreamboycott@psna.nz

The Sticker Phantom gives advice on stickering

Stickering products instore is not everybody’s cup of tea but for those keen to increases pressure on companies complicit with Israeli genocide and apartheid here are a few tips from an expert.

Fact: stickering SS products does hurt Israel. I have seen empty SodaSteam bays in both Woolworths & Warehouse stores due to stickering.

  • Select your target store – Our first focus is Noel Leeming (owned by the Warehouse group) so make that a priority if you have one close by…  

  • Park on the street, never drive into the carpark. Number plate recognition is everywhere.

  • Wear a hat or cap, rimmed glasses (not sunglasses) & don't look up at the cameras .

  • Go when it's busy, Easter, Boxing Day sales, Sat/Sun midday.

  • I prefer not to buy anything but if you do pay cash.

  • I Individually rip off 10 stickers & place them face down in the palm of my hand, browse around until the SodaStream (SS) zone is clear.

  • If the SS zone doesn't clear after 10 minutes walk out, better not to get caught.

     Target 1: the CO2 box's, flip & sticker the barcode. Press firmly & turn back  over.

 Target 2: the machines, most expensive first.

 Target 3: syrup bottles, spin & sticker the barcode press firmly & turn back around.

  • Consistency is key, 2-3 week intervals work best.

  • At Noel Leeming & Harvey Norman, always talk to at least one salesperson before stickering, until then you are a sales target!

  • If you get caught you will be trespassed, after 700+ stickers I have been trespassed twice. Both times I believe it was number plate recognition, I got lazy & drove in.

    When being verbally trespassed never give them your name but never give them a false name, leave promptly and don't go back for a long while (Don’t target stores near you if you will need to shop there! Target stores further away)

Here are the first signs of success with stickering – the company takes the product of the shelves and puts them behind the counter 


SUMUD series at Auckland University

Four events over four Thursday’s from 31 July 21 August

The link to the Sumud series is here:

https://www.eventbrite.co.nz/e/sumud-palestinian-resilience-and-its-impact-on-the-world-event-series-tickets-1489676545649?aff=oddtdtcreator

Public entry to all events in the series is free, but registration is required to ensure capacity is not exceeded. This lecture event has a capacity of 370.

Please help publicise this series by sharing this meme on social media:


Stuff wants to hear from kiwis

"This week, we’re asking you, our readers, to share your perspectives and reflections on the conflict in Gaza. We’ll publish a selection of the most thoughtful, the most uniquely Kiwi perspectives on the crisis to enable a better conversation here at home.

You can email me directly at keith.lynch@stuff.co.nz, cc-ing in newstips@stuff.co.nz. "

https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/360772467/kiwi-voices-needed-we-want-hear-new-zealanders-gaza-writes-keith-lynch-editor-chief

Our supporters could ask Stuff why it platforms Israeli narratives, Israeli propaganda, Israeli explanations, Israeli excuses and only ever takes stories from western news agencies such as the blatantly biased BBC.


Quotes of the week

Fence in Ōtautahi/Christchurch

An examination of Israel’s policy in the Gaza Strip and its horrific outcomes, together with statements by senior Israeli politicians and military commanders about the goals of the attack, leads to the unequivocal conclusion that Israel is taking coordinated, deliberate action to destroy Palestinian society in the Gaza Strip. 

In other words: Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. 

—Our Genocide; B’TSelem Report

 

"Maybe it was their first time doing something like this and they felt they had to prove something. He asked how I was doing. I told him: 'You took me out of my home 20 years ago, and 50 years ago. You expelled my family 78 years ago. How do you think I'm doing?' They gave us two options: either all 13 of us get locked together in one room for 72 hours, or we leave the house." 

—Ahmad Amouri; West Bank Resident, Balata Refugee Camp 

 

"The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality."

 - James Baldwin

A Call from the Workers of Gaza to Labor Unions Around the World:

A Cry in the Face of Starvation and Genocide
To all free workers everywhere,
To our comrades in trade unions and labor federations around the world,

A Call from the Workers of Gaza to Labor Unions Around the World: A Cry in the Face of Starvation and Genocide

A Call from the Workers of Gaza to Labor Unions Around the World:

A Cry in the Face of Starvation and Genocide

To all free workers everywhere,
To our comrades in trade unions and labor federations around the world,

We bring to you the statement of the workers of Gaza, issued by the Palestine General Federation of Trade Unions, addressed to the workers and unions of the world—this final appeal they have named “A Cry Before Death.” It reaches us from the midst of hunger and siege, from beneath the rubble of factories and homes, and from the heart of a continuing war of extermination that has gone on for nearly 22 months alongside a systematic policy of mass starvation executed by “Israel” with direct support from the United States and its European partners.

The statement reads:
“The Israeli war has destroyed 80% of Gaza’s homes, all of its factories, workshops, and sources of livelihood, and most of its farmland has been bulldozed.”

Indeed, the lives of workers, fishermen, farmers, and all productive social sectors in the besieged Strip have been turned into a living hell. Their families are now without shelter and without income. There is no food and no medicine. One worker says: “We are besieged by American and European weapons, choked by hunger, neglect, and silence — all in an attempt to destroy our lives, to break our resilience, and to crush the will of resistance in our people.”

We address you today once again, not merely as victims, but as the workers of Palestine: an integral part of the popular and working classes of this world, struggling for justice, liberation, and dignity. And we call upon you to:

Break the silence and complicity, raise your voices within your unions and federations, and denounce the policies of starvation, siege, and massacre in Gaza.

Pressure your governments to end arms deals and military cooperation with the occupation, and to impose sanctions on the Zionist settler-colonial and apartheid regime.

Boycott companies that support the occupation, and withdraw union investments from any company, institution, or entity involved in funding or profiting from the war.

Organize days of rage and global solidarity in factories and workshops, in ports and airports, in the streets and public squares, in support of Palestine and its brave people.

We especially appeal to the unions of seafarers and port workers, urging them to refuse to load or unload “Israeli” ships or those bound for Zionist ports, and to halt any form of maritime or commercial cooperation with the tools of war and siege. Your strong hands and awakened consciences are capable of halting the machinery of extermination and stopping the shipments of death sent to Palestine. Show all humanity the power of the struggling working class when it rises united in defense of justice and human values.

From here, we proudly and gratefully salute our comrades, the port workers in Greece, for their principled and courageous stance, and their leading role in boycotting “Israeli” ships and rejecting complicity in war crimes. We also salute the labor unions in Norway, Spain, France, Canada, and elsewhere for their pioneering role in impactful solidarity with our people through the boycott of occupation institutions. We call upon all labor unions around the world to cut ties with the so-called “Histadrut”, the Zionist organization that claims to belong to the working class while participating in the siege of Palestinian workers, justifying the genocide in Gaza, and serving as an integral part of the Israeli occupation apparatus.

Comrades,

What is being carried out today in Gaza is a crime of mass starvation in full view of the world: its aim is to displace us and expel us from our land. This is not only a war of physical extermination; it is a series of crimes that surpass everything committed by Nazism and fascism in Europe. It is carried out with the aim of subjugating us by destroying the very conditions of life and human dignity. Yet the popular working classes and their free unions around the world possess a legacy of history, strength, and courage sufficient to defeat these criminal policies — if they unite their ranks and raise their voice in confrontation with colonialism, Zionism, and the savagery of capitalism.

We promise you:
We will rebuild the universities, schools, institutions, and factories of Gaza again, as we have always done after every American-Zionist war of destruction. And we will continue our steadfastness, no matter how great the hardships and challenges.

Let us turn anger into action, and solidarity into a concrete stance.
Let us break the policy of starvation and raise the banner of labor struggle for justice—

For a free Palestine, from the river to the sea.


Take the BP Challenge for motorcyclists

It's simple, whenever riding and you see a BP, stop up the road or around the corner and walk back, helmet on, and sticker every fuel pump!.  Even if they run out & trespass us they will have no idea as to whom they have trespassed. 

To get stickers see your local Palestine solidarity branch or email Merchandise@PSNA.nz


Secret terror law changes in New Zealand

Just as other western countries such as the US, UK and Australia are cracking down on pro-Palestinian protests, here in Aotearoa our police and IPCA have proposed radical restrictions on the right to protest while the government is now consulting secretly about proposed changes to our terrorism legislation which would criminalise support for the Palestinian resistance and the Palestinian right to take up arms to fight for their freedom.

 

PSNA will be taking this up with the government. In the meantime here are four stories about these latest proposals

  • Secretive terror laws review targets protest and dissent here

  • Planned terrorism law overhaul ‘slippery slope to authoritarianism’ here

  • National Takes Another Step Toward Tyranny here 

  • Secret Ministry of Justice consultation on Terrorism Suppression Act here

Flying Paper – new film on vimeo

The film "Flying Paper" (see link below)  is the uplifting, yet somewhat poignant story of Palestinian children in Gaza on a quest to shatter the Guinness World Record for the most kites ever flown. The film which was produced 11 years ago demonstrates the creative fortitude of these children making and flying kites despite the severe deprivations imposed by Israel upon the people of Gaza at that point.

In the wake of the GENOCIDAL SLAUGHTER AND STARVATION of the besieged civilian population over the past 21 months, one cannot help but reflect upon the utter barbarity of those responsible for killing and maiming tens of thousands  children like those in the film. Their lives, however humble, were full of laughter, with hopes and dreams for a better future. Now these lives have been utterly destroyed in a GENOCIDAL FRENZY BY ISRAEL that is beyond our worst imagining. 😢

NOTHING! NOTHING!! ....CAN JUSTIFY THIS BARBARIC HOLOCAUST OF PALESTINIAN CIVILIANS !!! 😡

New Zealand International Film Festival – two good films

Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk

This documentary from Iranian director Sepideh Farsi captures life in Gaza during the Israeli military bombardment, largely through Farsi’s video calls with Palestinian photojournalist Fatima Hassouna. Tragically, just one day after Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk was announced for Cannes Film Festival 2025, Hassouna - and nine members of her family - were killed in an Israeli airstrike. It’s an on-the-ground confrontation with the impact of war, and now exists as a heartbreaking time-capsule of one journalist’s bravery in the face of mass violence.

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!)

Our account details are:

  • Account name: Palestine Solidarity Network
