Will you support a local council motion to:
Question 1: exclude companies from your procurement policy which are identified by the United Nations in June 2023 as involved in illegal Israeli settlements?
Question 2: divest from Israeli government bonds and from any Israeli company or foreign companies giving “aid or assistance” to Israel’s illegal occupation or commission of war crimes in Gaza?

Last call for booking a visit by Muhammad Shehada to your region
Yousef Aljamal's friend Muhammad Shehada, and highly prominent advocate for Palestinian rights, is keen to visit Aotearoa in November for a speaking tour.
Muhammad is the expert who the global media experts call in to explain, and one of the very top commentators who understands how to handle the western audience.
https://www.newarab.com/author/67471/muhammad-shehada
If you would be interested in having him visit your centre for a speaking engagement(s), please contact secretary@psna.nz by 20 September.
Priority will be given to centres which missed out when Yousef visited back in June, but we’ll do our best to get him everywhere we can.
The Journalism Education Association of New Zealand working to protect Palestinian journalist in Gaza
According to Zeteo, Israel has killed 270 local Palestinian journalists in Gaza during the past two years.
Some are trying to escape before they too are targeted for showing the world what Israel is doing.
PSNA Challenges Zionist Court
ACT MP Simon Court
A challenge from PSNA to all government MPs to speak up and support Palestine provoked an apoplectic response from Zionist ACT MP Simon Court.
He demanded PSNA recognise that Hamas was responsible for all the death and destruction in Gaza.
“I doubt you have the moral clarity or courage to admit you are wrong and say it to those who need to hear it – the New Zealanders young and old whose minds you have poisoned with antisemitic rhetoric.”
We don’t think it is worthwhile to write back to try to persuade anyone like Court to dispassionately look at the history and evidence of apartheid Israel, which almost inevitably leads into genocide.
He is inextricably tied into the miserable 10 percent of New Zealanders who the polls show doesn’t think the government is doing enough to support Israel.
But public debates are another thing. We have challenged Court to a debate on Israel and Palestine.
So far, he has not replied. We’ll keep you posted and hope to be able to supply details of time and place – if he has the nerve!
Fiji opens embassy in Jerusalem
Fiji has just relocated its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, joining only five other countries which have shifted their representation from Tel Aviv.
They are; USA, Kosovo, Guatemala, Honduras and Papua New Guinea.
Locating an embassy in Jerusalem is a formal endorsement of the illegal Israeli occupation. No countries took the step until Trump shifted the US embassy there while Israel was massacring Palestinians in the Great March of Return in Gaza in mid-2018.
Supporters of the Palestinian cause in Fiji made their opposition to the move clear;

Israeli minister would embarrass NZ government with an official ‘thank you’ visit
Sharren Haskel
PSNA says a proposed ‘thank you visit’ by Israel’s deputy Foreign Minister Sharren Haskel would be embarrassing for the New Zealand government and expose it as a collaborator with Israeli genocide in Gaza.
Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa Co chair, John Minto says he expects the New Zealand government will find some excuse to avoid having Haskel in New Zealand.
Haskel, in an interview with genocide denier Sean Plunket on his radio show The Platform last month said she’d like to visit New Zealand in October saying “We want to thank the New Zealand government for its support over the last two years.”
Minto says the last thing Winston Peters would want the public of New Zealand to hear, is a high-level representative of the State of Israel coming here to praise him for his support for genocide and ethnic cleansing.
“Not because the praise would be false, but because it would be true.”
“For two years now, our government has bucked public opinion, and it’s refused to sanction Israel, or take any measures to hold Israel to account, for its mass bombing and starvation of Palestinians in Gaza.”
“Instead, Winston Peters has provided political cover to genocide and ethnic cleansing, by amplifying Israeli propaganda and dismissing the desperate appeals from Palestinians, the United Nations and a whole range of international human rights groups.”
“The damage to this country’s standing in the international community is incalculable.”
“His predecessor National led government, of John Key, rebuked Israel for far less serious infractions of international law in 2010 and 2014.”
“Over previous decades, New Zealand would have spoken out strongly and taken a principled position. But now we have become the unprincipled runt among countries we like to compare ourselves with, and tried to make it all go away with the public by saying the issue is too complicated or we need more facts.”
“With our reputation goes our potential trading opportunities among the vast majority of countries in the world who recognise Palestine and stand with the Palestinians.”
Haskel’s proposed visit would be added to her tour to Fiji and Papua New Guinea both of which voted with a Pasifika bloc last year. to join with Israel and the US at the United Nations, against a ruling by the International Court of Justice.
Minto points to the fact that Fiji opened its new embassy in Jerusalem last week.
“This is an extremely partisan and hostile act. Fiji and PNG have joined only four other countries in the entire world to locate in Jerusalem to try to legitimise the illegal occupation of East Jerusalem.”
“It looks like Israel’s minister will still bully her way into Fiji and PNG, but my pick will be that Winston Peters will be too busy when Haskel plans to gatecrash the Beehive.”
“It’s a shame. We’d be delighted to deliver a very strong demonstration to confront the representative of the worst atrocity of the 21st Century.”

Sitting on the Fence
Daniel Cleary is making a documentary called “Sitting on the Fence” about NZ’s complicity in the genocide. It’s an independent self-funded film which needs financial support.
You can view a short segment from the film at this link and help to get the full film completed.
A documentary film on the New Zealand government's complicity of inaction to the Gaza genocide.
By 'sitting on the fence' did the New Zealand government fail to act to prevent this genocide? Does it have the blood of Gaza on its hands? This documentary is a challenge, that discovers if our govt did anything about it, or just hid behind words of diplomatic platitudes and political rhetoric. Did a lack of action enable Israel? We follow the protest movement with the NZ Green Party calling for stronger sanctions, sending the Israeli ambassador home, speaking out and condemning Israel’s military actions. When New Zealand was put on notice of a plausible genocide, all of these things are required by New Zealand under international law outlined in the UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese’s latest report – The Economy of Genocide. NZ was also obligated to stop all trade, military and economic ties with Israel, stop making parts for smart bombs, stop sharing intelligence, stop sending spy satellites into space, stop the NZ police force contracts with Israeli companies...
The Right of Return Comes First
By PSNA Co-Chair Maher Nazzal
As governments debate whether to recognise Palestine as a state, the international conversation risks missing the heart of the Palestinian struggle. Recognition, borders, and diplomatic formulas matter, but they are not the starting point. For Palestinians, the struggle begins and ends with one demand: the Right of Return.
More than 70 percent of the Palestinian people are refugees or descendants of refugees. They were expelled or displaced in 1948, and again in 1967, from towns and villages that still stand across historic Palestine. Their homes are not abstract; they are catalogued, remembered, and mapped. No political arrangement that ignores this reality can claim to deliver justice.
The two-state solution, long promoted as the “practical” outcome, has in practice confined Palestine to fragments of land under occupation and siege. Even if recognised by the world tomorrow, such a state would leave millions of Palestinians permanently excluded, their right of return erased, their dispossession cemented. A flag over Ramallah or Gaza cannot substitute for Haifa, Jaffa, Lydda, or the hundreds of destroyed villages where keys and deeds are still kept in exile.
This is why the call “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” carries such weight. It is not a rejection of coexistence, but of fragmentation. It insists that liberation must encompass every Palestinian, in Gaza, the West Bank, Jerusalem, inside ’48, and in the global diaspora. Without return, “statehood” is a hollow shell.
The dilemma, then, is not really between recognition and liberation. It is between justice deferred and justice demanded. Recognition of Palestine within 1967 borders may provide diplomatic tools, but it cannot replace the Right of Return. If recognition is to mean anything, it must be framed as a step toward fulfilling that right, not a substitute for it.
History shows that the dispossessed rarely accept erasure. South African exiles did not trade their homes for Bantustans; neither will Palestinians trade theirs for an occupied “state.” The world must recognise Palestine, yes, but more importantly, it must recognise that the Right of Return comes first.
Until every refugee can go home, Palestine is not free.
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be FREE.

Maher Nazzal

Stitching for Palestine
Held at the Te Wai Ngutu Kākā Gallery on Saturday 20 September
The public was invited to participate in a communal art project that gathered people around a large flag sewn together from 20 keffiyehs, upon which messages of support are embroidered through the timeless art of Tatreez (Palestinian cross-stitch). While embroidery experience was useful, none was required… just a will to make your mark of solidarity on this textile landscape.
Led by Dorita Hannah with Alya Abed Ali, Emma Farry and friends from the Palestinian community and wider, Stitch for Palestine is a collaboration with the Palestinian Solidarity Network Aotearoa (PSNA). This iteration of the ongoing project will be held in the context of the exhibition Catherine Griffiths: Walk With Me.
Two petitions
BREAKING: Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands and Slovenia just said they'll boycott the Eurovision Song Contest unless Israel is kicked out.
Now other national broadcasters are deciding whether to join the boycott and hold the Israeli government to account on the global stage.
Public pressure can make all the difference. Add your name and share wildly.

SodaStream struggles
Israeli SodaStream is losing shelf space at this central North Island New World supermarket.
There’s only one SodaStream canister on display, compared with seven from its rival Oh Bubbles.
And you have to pay $52 for a SodaStream canister, while Oh Bubbles is on offer for $38.
The SodaStream packet looks the worse for wear on the top end. It is reasonable to assume that someone objecting to Israeli apartheid and genocide may have put a sticker on the box. New World staff then had to peel it off.
The resulting display is not that of a premium product.
Keep stickering!
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!)
