Israel's genocide continues, incl. killing Palestinians sheltering in a school, bombardment of central & southern Gaza, & attacks in the West Bank. Rainfall has also triggered floods in parts of Gaza as strong winds damage makeshift tents.
So, a reminder of rallies for Palestine this weekend:

National keep saying they want to devolve power - which I have no problem with in theory. But what they mean is a dereliction of duty. Under resourcing community providers & then pretending the job is done.

RNZ’s biased reporting on the genocide in Gaza is out of control.
We can see whole apartment blocks bombed on videos - from numerous sources. Why are they lapping up misinformation? And using it to frame their stories?

🚨 Palestine rallies this weekend 🚨
Aotearoa, the genocide in Gaza is still ongoing. Our political leaders, on our behalf, are enabling it. This is our chance to say ‘Not in our name’. Show up & say it.
I’ll be speaking at Auckland’s ✊🏾

Where do people listen to the morning news these days? Normally I listen to morning report. But the quality of journalism from the hosts has declined significantly this year and the final straw is the biased reporting of the genocide in Gaza. Suggestions please.
