Nick Mowbray dropped half a million on National & ACT in an attempt to buy this election & now he wants to change MMP because the two major parties are failing. These people will always weaponise their wealth to maintain power & control.

If there was any justice, a tower would be erected right outside Chris Bishop's house, and one for David Seymour's place as well.
Auckland residents are getting an unwelcome surprise, finding out five-storey telco towers are being built outside their properties - with nothing they can do about it, due to amendments to the Resource Management Act. Thanks Nats. 🙄 rnz.co.nz/news/regions_auckl….

💢🎥 “Do you think this occupation is going to stop at one house, or ten, or twenty?” Israeli forces demolished two homes belonging to the Dawoud family in Beita, south of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, on Wednesday, destroying homes the family had spent decades building. Abdul Karim Dawoud told Drop Site that his sons have been imprisoned for nine months after Israeli authorities accused them of detonating an explosive device targeting Israeli soldiers. “It hurts a person even to have a cup smashed, let alone a house. I spent my whole life helping build it, along with my brothers,” Dawoud said. Footage captured by Drop Site contributor Mutasem Sqf Elhait shows the homes draped with Palestinian flags being demolished—one blown up with explosives, the other torn down by a military bulldozer. Israeli forces also fired live ammunition, tear gas, and stun grenades during confrontations with residents. 🎥 Mutasem Sqf Elhait

Israeli forces have completely demolished the town of Taybeh, Lebanon. 48 villages have been razed to the ground by the Israeli army, who are still occupying more than 60 towns and villages in Lebanon. This destruction is funded by the US and EU. This is Zionism.

This is the sort of stuff that Moses gets up to.
If you want to understand the viciousness of zionists. I heard that Juliet Moses called up the school where the Free Palestine Party president teaches demanding he was working illegally as he was standing for Parliament. The funny part is that Paul is NOT standing for parliament. She defamed(?) Paul for no other reason than her Obsessive Racism!

In dismal contrast, the Zionist-controlled NZ Jewish Council continues to support Israel's barbarism.

Israeli "democracy": - 500,000 West Bank settlers can vote, but not the 3M Palestinians under occupation - 230,000 Israelis in occupied East Jerusalem can vote, but not the 350,000 Palestinians under their rule - The fewer than 2M Palestinians left in occupied Gaza cannot vote

Newstalk ZB's cheerleading for the Nats has ratcheted up this week. It reached a new level of absurdity yesterday when it's afternoon comedy duo, Matt Heath (business owner) + Tyler Adams tried to define the cost of living crisis out of existence. Comedy gold!

It feels so fucking good to see Brazil beat back US imperialism and tech oligarchy after the staggering crimes these parasites have committed against humanity and the planet. And students are winning in Serbia and France! The tide is turning :)

Watch this. Lubna Speitan, author of the Greens4Palestine motion “Zionism is racism”, spells out the central obscenity of our age – the grotesque inversion whereby the victims of ethnic cleansing, Apartheid and genocide must constantly fend off accusations from their tormentors that it is they who are the racists. “We as Palestinians are being silenced and gaslit and vilified [as we] witness the annihilation, the cold-blooded murder of our families, of our people… our children burnt with phosphorus, having to endure amputations with no anaesthetic, having their limbs torn and shredded, their bodies burnt by phosphorus, being starved to death … And to have to sit here … and try to bury my feelings so I can eloquently and diplomatically shield my anger, my rage, my anguish that every Palestinian is feeling, is an insult.” /1
