For all you ignorant folk from foreign lands passing judgement on #Aotearoa#NewZealand#TreatyOfWaitangi understand this #TeTiritioWaitangi is unique to these islands. No where else on planet #Earth has the #indigenous people negotiated a treaty with their coloniser to maintain their rights and #sovereignty As #Seymour admits there exists no legal precedent to compare to the beautiful promise of tangata whenua and tangata tiriti living together on a promise made 184 years ago. #ToituTeTiriti
This is quite unbelievable, like something out of a fictional dystopian alternative Britain but no, this tale of being arrested as a #terrorist for opposing #Genocide and #WarCrimes is very much non-fiction.
79-year-old professor, Haim Bresheeth was arrested under #terrorism legislation for speaking at a protest outside the residence of the #Israel Ambassador in Swiss Cottage.
Evan, I've found myself unable to either strongly agree or disagree, even qualify a position either way, but by posing this question in the form of a public poll you have lured me into entering the conversation which in itself contradicts my neutral position.
Americans concerned about size of #Hurricane#Milton should consider the #US and #Israel genocide in #Gaza has generated between 420,265 and 652,552 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) so *far - equivalent to burning more than 1.5 million barrels of oil - this figure soars to more than 61 million tonnes when pre- and post-war construction and reconstruction are included.
Palestine is a secular populace. Traditionally made up of Jews, Christians, Muslims and those who are secular. The land of Palestine is a holy land for Jews, Christians and Muslims. No single faith or people are superior to another. Neither the Christian or Muslim faiths existed 3,000 years ago.
To all my #US followers despairing over Joe #Biden dropping out from the presidential race and endorsing #KamalaHarris 4 months before the presidential election, I would like to tell you about another woman who was handed the leadership of her party just 7 weeks before the 2017 election and go on to become, imo, NZ’s greatest Prime Minister in my lifetime. Her name is Jacinda Ardern and her election campaign slogan was #LetsDoThis
And I'm proud to be an #American Where at least I know I'm #free And I won't forget the men who died Who gave that right to me And I'd gladly stand up next to you And defend Her still today 'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God Bless the #USA s/
I have incredible sympathy for US citizens generally only having a choice between 2 parties when it comes to voting. For a country that’s so diverse it seems a wildly unfair and undemocratic political system. The rise of independents in last week’s #UK elections has led to more talk about electoral reform. IMO, US seriously needs to have this conversation.
#NewZealand is set to join a US-led military exercise which will see the #NZDF train beside the #Israel Defence Force. Opposition parties say the NZDF's involvement with the exercise is proof the Government isn't taking the Israel-Gaza war seriously.
It should be a democratic state of Palestine for all the indigenous Jews, Christians, Muslims and gentiles. Islam and Christianity didn't even exist 2,000 years ago so the descendants of the holy land have the legitimate right to the land of their ancestors ahead of the European Ashkenazi Jewish settlers.
You know it’s a complete scam when the antisemites come out to defend Israel from peaceful #StudentProtests of which many of the protestors are themselves Jewish.
Still a reckless reckoneer reckoning reckons from Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotearoa. WARNING: Likely to offend genocide enthusiasts. I have updated my profile picture with a photo of a Palestine beaded bracelet given to me by a pair of Palestinian women I met while marching for a Free Palestine in Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotearoa. Some of the things I have reckons on #NZTwits #NZPolitics #WorldPolitics #Sustainability #Satire #Music #Design #MultiMedia #FreePalestine
