The Israeli army has imposed a full siege on the West Bank, closing over 892 checkpoints and gates. Ambulances and civil defense are at a standstill.

There is already a nuclear-armed country in the Middle East that does not allow international inspectors despite having nukes for decades - and it’s not Iran. Israel is also one of a handful of countries to have never signed the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.

It's time for the Aotearoa govt to stop pissing around. We need to expel the Israeli diplomatic mission, implement sanctions on all members of the Israeli govt, and recognise the state of Palestine. Israel's genocide, illegal occupations, and attacks on sovereign nations cannot go unpunished. #nzpol

This is 25 year old Parnia Abassi. She was an English teacher and a poet. She was killed alongside her younger brother and parents in Israel's attacks on residential areas in Iran last night. Say their names. Share their stories. Don't let them erase the legacy of their aggression.

The Trump administration illegally arrested and detained Mahmoud Khalil. This Father’s Day, I'm joining my fellow fathers in urging the U.S. government to immediately release Mahmoud and reunite him with his family. Please watch and share our video and take action: action.aclu.org/send-message...

4 days without Internet , I'm sitting in street, don't forget us. I don't know when I will open again. My sister Maali suffers from paralysis. She needs diapers, cost 150$ for 3 days, and my family needs flour 2kg every day, which costs 60$ 🥹🙏 @mommunism.bsky.social chuffed.org/project/1301...

Where are the statements from our universities decrying the war crime targeted assassinations of academics in Iran? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

There are birds squawking on the beach at 1.48am. Husband tells me it is Little Blue Penguins. I want to see them but refuse to brave the cold winter night. Pakawau, Aotearoa

Wissam in the past month has become responsible for 3 small injured, orphaned and psychologically traumatized children. Any help would be good.

If you can help someone in Gaza get an eSIM today that would be very helpful

Ahmed is 22 years old, from northern Gaza. He's trying to feed a family of ten people. Help him if you can: www.gofundme.com/f/help-ahmed...

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Hayat. Hayat is 54 and the mother of nine children (many of whom I know) including 10 year old Tala, the baby of the family. Tala is struggling with malnutrition as food has become so difficult to access in Gaza. Hayat needs help ❤️

🚨 URGENT 🚨 The genocide continues as Israel massacres Palestinians with bombs, bullets, and blockades causing shortages of food/water/meds/gas/etc + hyperinflated prices Without extra support the death toll will rise rapidly PLEASE share if you can't donate 🙏❤️ 💕💸🍉 chuffed.org/project/1277...

Got a message from Ramadan that it's very difficult to get internet access right now for him, like most in Gaza. They're being cut off, starved, and hounded by Israel. Please share widely & donate to help them escape to safety.

Please share & give to help Naiema's family survive & escape Israel's genocide in Gaza. The IDF is closing in on them, they're being starved, & donations are slow:

As a web librarian I cannot stress enough how important websites like Te Ara, NZHistory, and the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography are for researchers of all kinds. These sites were built with the idea that they would exist in perpetuity for all New Zealanders to access.

This period of history we're all living through has really hilighted just how utterly broken our journalism has become, completely compromised by business interests and obligated not to report events as they are happening but to constantly step around issues with passive voice

I was speaking to my Aunt today. She is a boomer, dairy farm owner, & full time carer of her disabled daughter. We discussed income inequality, Gaza, AoNZ green party budget, climate change, disability services, environmentally unfriendly farmers. Her views are left of labour. There is hope.

An astonishing editorial in Israel's liberal Haaretz paper calling for full western sanctions against Israel and not the feeble entry restrictions on two cabinet ministers announced this week by the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Norway. substack.com/@jonathancoo...

Just saying…I know a few of these people, btw. #nzpol #OneTermGovernment

This! WFF and the accommodation supplement are subsidies given to employers not paying workers enough and landlords charging too much. Because they can. And they can because the taxpayer is picking up the tab. They might not see themselves as such, but they are the biggest beneficiaries. #nzpol

Someone on my insta posted the story of the Vietnam war protestor and I really needed that reminder that the donating, writing submissions, and protesting doesn’t have to end in immediate change. We also need to do this so the brutality doesn’t change us. I don’t want to be a cynical person.

Idk why i can't reply like normal. I call it a refugee crisis because millions of refugees are not being resettled. They are living out their lives in camps. IMO we need to resettle far more people in the Global North since we seem to be the beneficiaries of the instability in their home countries.

In Auckland and pruning your Feijoa, olive, puma or guava trees this winter? Don’t dump the trimmings, take them to the Zoo to feed the giraffes! www.aucklandzoo.co.nz/browse-at-th... @aucklandzoo.bsky.social
