Israel must now allow unobstructed humanitarian access.

The international community — including New Zealand — must end its culpability and inaction.

All necessary international pressure must be brought to bear to ensure that this fragile first step leads to lasting peace.

Why don’t we celebrate the “peace deal”?

If you witnessed a brutal beating in the street, you wouldn’t cheer when it ended. You’d help the victim recover and seek justice.

Peace is more than the absence of war.

The Palestinian people need much more than a ceasefire.

Samer Abu Diak, released to occupied West Bank, who was beaten by Israeli occupation troops before his release.

He was held as captive for two decades and his brother Sami, imprisoned since he was a teenager, died in Israeli occupation captivity after 17 years imprisonment in 2019.

So-orig it was $551m for 2 top of the line Korean rail ferries delivered this year & next. It cost National $671m to cancel them. We don’t know the added price for these Chinese Ferries-hopefully they won’t be full of asbestos like the rail carriages were #nzpol www.1news.co.nz/2025/10/14/g...

Scrolling through Youtube after work and noticed this.

It honestly looks like Hasan is giving the water buffalo scritches.

Image shows a screenshot of two Youtube Short thumbnails (vertical thumbnails). On the left thumnail is a water buffalo with an arm and hand coming from right of frame. On the right thumnail is Hasan Piker at his desk, in front of his microphone. The two images together makes it look like Hasan is giving the buffalo good boy scritches.

just a reminder that if Labour were competent they would be thrashing National in every poll; the fact they’re neck-and-neck with Nats with these widely hated destructive fools in power is an indictment; Chris Hipkins should step down and give it to someone who shows an interest in doing things

This is very sad, but also not surprising. The science has warned for a long time, including in IPCC reports, that even modest levels of global warming will devastate virtually all coral reefs.
www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Planet’s first catastrophic climate tipping point reached, report says, with coral reefs facing ‘widespread dieback’

Unless global heating is reduced to 1.2C ‘as fast as possible’, warm water coral reefs will not remain ‘at any meaningful scale’, a report by 160 scientists from 23 countries warns

I’m sick of RW govts trying to separate “the unions” from their members.

“The unions” can’t take strike actions without balloting members. “The unions” aren’t forcing members to strike; they can’t. Members are voting to strike, because of shite offers from this govt.

Andy Ngo terrified of milkshakes confirmed.

@MrAndyNgo
Now that the local and national press have started to cover the Portland ICE area round-the-clock in reaction to the President, Antifa have devised a plan where they are encouraging one another to come in animal costumes.

The costumes serve the function of masking the violent extremism to make the direct action appear like a family-friendly gathering on camera, and to whitewash the past ultraviolence.

In 2019, Antifa devised a similar plot by giving out free "milkshakes" at a protest. But they couldn't contain their bloodthirst and nearly killed me when they saw me. In 2020, they mobilized a fake "Wall of Moms" where female Antifa supporters and members wore yellow shirts to act as human body shields while violent rioters behind them hurled projectile weapons.

James is 10000% correct. These people were illegally kidnapped from international waters.

It's a crime to stop and board shops in international water. It's a crime to remove people from those ships.

Detained suggests that the Israeli government had the right to stop these ships and take these people. They absolutely didn't #nzpol
