For Sharesies:

  • Go to the Sharesies website – www.Sharsies.nz

  • Sign up for an “Investment account”.

  • Log into the account.

  • Look for the button – “Top up Wallet” It is in the “Portfolio” part of the website

  • Once the funds are in your wallet, look for the “Buy Investments” button

  • Click on the button and then search for the “Warehouse Group Ltd”.

  • Click the “Buy” button at the bottom of the page

  • Choose “Market Buy in Dollars” in the Options then click “Next”.

  • Then Click “Review”

  • It will outline your total spend, the Investment and the fees associated with the buy.

  • Then click “Buy”.

  • You will receive confirmation of your purchase.

Make sure you print out the page showing you own shares in the Warehouse. Take that to the AGM as proof of ownership.

You can do that by printing the Portfolio page and/or clicking on the Warehouse in your portfolio, click on “Your Investment” and then printing this page.

When you go to the Warehouse AGM, if you are told that you don’t come up on the share register, say you have purchased the shares through Sharesies, as shown in your printout, and that you Are a Shareholder. Show them your printout(s).

Once you are inside the AGM, you should be able to ask serious questions about Why the Warehouse Group is selling products on the UN banned list.

Once you have bought shares contact admin@PSNA.nz and we will organise a meeting or zoom call before the AGM to co-ordinate our actions at the meeting.

PS
If you want to go to the Rakon AGM next year (also in Tamaki/Auckland) you can do the same thing. Buy Shares and then attend. Make sure you have relevant questions ready for the Management as they carry out the AGM.


ASB Challenge: “Spend their time for Palestine”

Will Alexander has a challenge for us

So I’ve got a challenge for you. Or a bit of light hearted competition. BDS works best when our actions cost the complicit company money. We can cost them money without breaking any laws. 

Here’s my challenge for you: go and have a very polite and VERY long conversation with an ASB Bank employee. If possible go through the entire process of setting up a home lone and asking about every detail and at the end of this long as possible conversation ask them about their 14 million dollar investment in Motorola which is deeply complicit in Israel’s genocide and ethnic cleansing. And when they confess their enormous investment in genocide you decide this is not the bank for you. 

It doesn’t have to be to that extent but every minute of ASBs time you spend, costs them money that would otherwise be spent supporting the murder of children. 

If you want to take part in the competition then email how much time you spent in ASB to spendtimeforpalestine@gmail.com and I’ll post the leader’s board throughout the week using a fake names to keep your identity private. 

Take this action from 12 to 22 November at which time we will evaluate this action.

Note: Please be very polite to the ASB employees our focus is not on them but on ASBs CEO Vittoria Shortt.


Join the ICC Six Watch!

Share the poster on social media – keep alert – email ICC6@PSNA.nz if you find where any of these six genocide deniers are due to show up.


BDS victory - “Israel – Premier Tech” becomes “Premier Tech”

Thanks to the people of Spain who made life hell for the Israel cycling team at the Vuelta Espana, the crisis engulfing the team formerly known as Israel – Premier Tech has reached a breaking point. Canadian company Premier Tech has terminated its co-title sponsorship with immediate effect, citing that the project’s “core reason” for involvement had been “overshadowed to a point where it has become untenable”.

Israel’s other occupied territory


Made in Palestine” comes to Ōtautahi/Christchurch

We were wondering if you could please include details of our art exhibition/fundraiser called Made in Palestine in your newsletter next week? Versions of the exhibition have been presented in Te Whanganui-a-Tara last year and in Tāmaki Makaurau earlier this year (with the amazing Maher Nazzal helping us!). We are now bringing it to central Ōtautahi so would love it if you could please help advertise: 

MADE IN PALESTINE exhibition / fundraiser is coming to Ōtautahi!

Join the artists for refreshments after the usual weekly rally: 2:30pm, Sat 22 Nov at CoCA Toi Moroki Gallery, 66 Gloucester Street, Central City. 

The exhibition by Emily Hartley-Skudder, Pinky Fang and Nathan Taare presents vintage cosmetics which were made in Palestine and imported to Aotearoa before 1948. Seeing “Palestine” emblazoned on these artefacts as their country of origin is powerful: they assert its ongoing existence by serving as tangible, historical evidence of a land many still try to erase and refuse to officially recognise.

Photographs and fragrance are for sale online with proceeds to Aotearoa-Palestinian charity Convoys of Good for families in Gaza. Also pick up the Beauty Boycott Zine! The exhibition runs until Sun 14 Dec, 2025.

New Internationalist on Genocide and resistance in Gaza

Gaza: Genocide and Resistance  New Internationalist (Paywalled but Illan Pappe pasted below ) https://newint.org/issues/2025/11/06/gaza-genocide-and-resistance

Despite the latest ceasefire, Israel’s genocide and engineered famine continues to devastate Gaza. This magazine confronts the history of Israeli violence and the steadfast Palestinian resistance to war, displacement and annihilation.

Palestine – Article by renowned Israeli history Professor Ilan Pappe

'Wipe Gaza off the face of the earth.' 'The children in Gaza have brought this upon themselves.' 'For all of them there is but one sentence, and this is death.' These chilling words, uttered by high- ranking Israeli politicians in the months after 7 October 2023, are not anomalies. In the past two years, explicit calls for the eradication of Gaza have become common-place in Israel's political and media landscape. During this time, human rights group Al-Haq has recorded more than 1,000 such comments from ministers, deputies, military personnel and other public figures.¹ This rhetoric however was not born in a vacuum. While it has grown louder and more explicit during Israel's war on Gaza, calls to eradicate the Palestinian people have been a feature of the Zionist project from its inception. As researcher Patrick Wolfe noted, the impulse of settler colonial projects such as Zionism is to eliminate the native, which can mean ethnic cleansing and genocide, an impulse that other colonial empires certainly acted on.² The uniqueness of the Zionist project was its historical timing, emerging at the end of the colonial era just as anti-colonial movements and the recognition of human rights were gathering momentum. It encountered not only Indigenous people but also an anti-colonialist liberation movement. This required the early Zionists to concoct a narrative and a dis- course that concealed their real aims of elimination.

Over the years, this smokescreen became thinner as the Israeli authorities escalated their attacks. From an attempt to hide the genocidal ambitions behind the Zionist project, over time, these intentions were proudly broadcast, first internally and then to the world at large.¹

The dehumanization of Palestinians was explicit in the early days of Zionism, but the movement did not possess the power to dispossess the country. However, it had already been a de-Arabized land in the fiction, poetry and paintings of the early Zionists.

Hidden orders
After the Second World War, Israel's leaders moderated their rhetoric for global audiences, but it was not always hidden from the public at home. In whatever version they appeared, references to the Palestinians' fate were informed by a drive to take over as much of the land as possible, leaving as few Palestinians in it as possible.⁸ The displacement of the Palestinian people began through incremental ethnic cleansing with the help of the British during the mandatory period (1920-1948) and culminated in the massive expulsion in 1948.3 The escalation from incremental to massive ethnic cleansing also changed the language, but unlike today, it was only in Hebrew and appeared mainly in military documents and less in the public domain. Explicit calls to eliminate the Palestinian people appeared in the commands dispatched to the Israeli troops who com- mitted the 1948 ethnic cleansing. The verb 'to eliminate' now appeared in the orders sent to the military units with references to specific villages or neighbourhoods.³ More graphically, these orders included instructions to kill the men in several cases ('men' were defined as anyone above the age of 10), as well as the destruction of stone houses and the burning of huts.³ The Palestinian village was described as the enemy base, and anyone living in it was a legitimate target. When every civilian space is defined as such, the assaults become genocidal. When the targeted spaces are among the most densely populated areas in the world, the miliary operations become genocidal. This was manifested clearly in the words of then-General Gadi Eizenkot, who, in a 2008 interview with the newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, articulated his strategy.⁴ He declared: 'Israel will wield disproportionate power against every village from which shots are fired on Israel, and cause immense damage and destruction. from our perspective, these are military bases'. To justify this violence, Palestinians were depicted as the new Nazis as early as 1948, including their political leadership (from Haj Amin al-Husayni during the British Mandate period to Palestinian Liberation Organization Chairman Yasser Arafat in 1982 Beirut and the Hamas leaders nowadays). Since then, comparison of Palestinians - including the '48 Arabs (the Palestinian citizens of Israel) - to snakes, vermin or cockroaches has appeared quite often in the political Hebrew discourse.⁵

Over time, framing every civilian space as an enemy base hardened into a doctrine, the 'Dahiya Doctrine', named after the carpet bombing of south Beirut in 2006 (although it was exercised, but not in name, against the West Bank refugee camps during the Israeli operation 'Protective Shield' in 2002).

Lifting the smokescreen
The 21st century saw the ascendancy to power in Israel of the extreme right wing whose main characteristic was a far more explicit, and ironically honest, discourse about the real aims of Zionism with regards to the Palestinians. The resistance from the Gaza Strip to Israel's attempt to eliminate the Palestinians escalated both the destruction on the ground and the discourse used to justify it. After Hamas's election success in 2006, Israel imposed a siege by land, air and sea in 2007. These actions were already genocidal from the end of 2008, when the first of three major assaults on the Strip (up to 2023) was launched. Already in 2008, several NGOs had accused Israel of having a deliberate policy of elimination against the population in Gaza. This intention was evident clearly in the ammunition used by the Israeli army since 2008. It included DIME (Dense Inertial Metal Explosives) and white phosphorus, which attracted the attention of human-rights organizations as punitive weapons meant to 'cause extensive and unusual injuries', as Amnesty International has put it.⁶ Indeed, the use of such ammunition was meant to increase the number of dead and extend the magnitude of the destruction.

THE BIG STORY
The Palestinian village was described as the enemy base, and anyone living in it was a legitimate target

The discourse was already beginning to reflect the reality; it was not yet the genocidal language we hear today per se, but it focused on the need to punish the population for electing Hamas.

During the 2014 Israeli assault on the Gaza Strip, the official discourse, under the guidance of Benjamin Netanyahu, focused on comparing Hamas to the Islamic State. This equation was broadcast in particular after the scale of the destruction of Israel's assault - 2,202 Palestinians killed, including 526 children, in just 50 days - prompted wide- spread Western condemnation for the excessive use of force, but these critics were ignoring the ideological genocidal intention behind it.⁷

The current violence that began in October 2023 wiped out any disparity between the genocidal action and the genocidal discourse. The Hamas operation seemed to liberate Israeli politicians, educators, generals and journalists from any need to sanitize their reference to the Palestinians as 'Amalekites', namely the rival to early Hebrews dis- cussed in the Old Testament, which God commanded to be wiped out as punishment for attacks on Israelites.⁸

Most of these and similar horrific calls to genocide were in Hebrew, but every now and then, they slipped into English by less careful politicians. The assertion was that Israel's allies accepted the depiction of the Hamas attack as a second holocaust. Once again, 'nazifying' the Palestinians was meant to justify its genocidal policies, both before and after the fact.

The Zionist movement tried full elimination of Palestine in 1948 but did so while disguising the discourse around it. The Palestinian resistance, so official

Israeli sources believe, provided an even better opportunity to try again.³

In the past, Israel's evasive language gave the West an excuse to ignore its eliminatory policies on the ground. That excuse is gone. The incremental genocide has given way to a full-blown televised one. The question now is whether the removal of this smokescreen will finally force the West to confront the destruction wrought by the project it helped establish and sustain, and to end its impunity.


Sticker Phantom’s advice on stickering

Stickering is not everyone’s cup of tea but it is a singularly effective action to pressure companies to stop stocking products supporting apartheid and genocide.

If a shop employee accuses you of stickering anything…

  • never admit anything to anybody ever, make them prove it

  • if you think you may be about to be trespassed don't answer the phone to any unfamiliar numbers & don't answer the door, there is no law to say you have to do either. Make it as hard & expensive for the police as possible.

An invitation to Wellington supporters

Al-Rifaq: We publish contemporary political writing by Arab scholars, journalists, and organic intellectuals every fortnight on Substack. https://alrifaq.substack.com/ 

We formed at the beginning of 2025, after our team members were seeing a big gap between what's published in Arabic about the war and what we can access in English, and wanted to do something about that.

We've created a slim but punchy book as a fundraiser – all proceeds go towards commissioning further work from translators living in and connected to Gaza. The six essays help us to understand the Palestinian question on terms consistent with their historic mission of liberation.

We recommend PSNA supporters purchase a pre-sale book – see link above and support this important initiative.


Police anti-democratic overreach targets protesters outside National MP offices

PSNA Media Release 6 November:

PSNA is accusing Christchurch police of overreach and committing a chilling breach of the right to protest, by issuing trespass notices on people protesting National Party MPs’ complicity in Israel’s genocide.

The Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa has asked the Independent Police Conduct Authority for an urgent investigation.

Last Thursday, PSNA Co-Chair John Minto says he was one of around 20 people protesting outside the Clyde Road office of National MP Hamish Campbell at the Fendalton Mall.

“No-one asked us to leave. After a couple of hours two police arrived and asked people to move from outside the office and onto the footpath, which the group did immediately.”

“Later, police drove past the protest group twice taking film on a mobile phone.”

“In the following days police have visited several of our homes to deliver ‘trespass notices’ (see attached notice) on behalf of the owners of the shopping centre.”

“We presume this was under an instruction from Campbell himself, or from a National Party official.  We have no idea.  We weren’t told anything.  There’s just an ‘Occupier” name on the notice.’

“I have never experienced police behaviour like this” says Minto. “In my experience, which many would say is rather considerable, I’ve seen police action against groups sitting in MPs’ offices, or move on protesters when they had blocked an entranceway or had impeded passersby, or refused to move when asked.  But on this occasion none of this happened”

“The Fendalton locals we talked to were strongly in support of the protest. Many of them said they were revolted at Israel’s genocidal attacks on Palestinians and the cowardice of the National Government to take any position against it,” Minto says.

“In two hours of positive interactions, only a single local told us to “buggar off”.

“The public show they are with us, but the police are doing their best to close us down.”

“Even the police sergeant and constable who handed me the trespass notice on my doorstep agreed they had better things to do. 

Sara Campbell who was at the protest posted her outrage on her FB page:

Absolutely outraged I asked the officers… “What is becoming of our country?” “Why are police resources, including surveillance, being used in this way?” “This is shocking”.

“The Prime Minister recently said that facing up to protests was a valid part of political life.  A legitimate location of that must be an electorate office.  We are protesting about complicity in genocide.  Our right to publicly criticise that complicity is vital.”

“If anonymous complainants can ban any protests in their vicinity, by issuing trespass notices, then the right to free speech is abolished in this country.”

“There is a Bill of Rights Act which is meant to protect that right.  That protection is under threat.”

We want to know:

  • What evidence of lawbreaking or wrongdoing did the police have which justified the issuing of trespass notices?

  • What legal basis was used to identify those in the protest group as somehow in breach of the law?

  • Why have the police taken on the role of agents for the National Party (and the business owner) in closing down the right to protest outside an MP’s office?

  • Under what legal justification did the police take video on the protest and then use it to identify individuals for issuing trespass notices against?

  • Do the local MP and the Prime Minister approve of this abuse of police power?

Israel’s war on Palestinian children continues

350 Palestinian children were imprisoned by Israeli authorities as of the end of September. Shockingly, 168 of them (48%) are held in administrative detention without charge or trial, the highest number and proportion on record since DCIP began monitoring these figures in 2008.
