Such a one-sided view of history and most of it was unchallenged. Palestinians were offered something in 2000 but it wasn’t a state by any stretch of imagination. And before Oct 7, the West Bank (where Hamas does not operate) had one of its deadliest year ever.

Owen Jones is not alone.
I, too, will never get over this or look at the world quite the same way ever again.
He is also right when he says:
“This has to be a lesson that we learn and act on.”
Israel's mass slaughter was made possible by Western politicians and media outlets.
They must not be allowed to walk away from the crime scene, hoping everyone will forget they were there in the first place.

Not a word from Reza Pahlavi on the brutal treatment of Palestinians & the trauma inflicted on their children.
No pro-democracy leader would feel a kinship with an apartheid state whose current government is the most right-wing and religiously extreme in the history of Israel.

There is no official public memorial to remember the massacre of 51 Muslims during the mosque attacks in New Zealand- but this article is a beautiful, loved-filled tribute to them all.
Also, nice to read 51 trees were planted -one for each person killed.

And the lesson here isn’t that IDF is just as barbaric or maybe even more barbaric than Hamas.
The real lesson from the horrific atrocities of the past few weeks is that any nation, any civilization, any religion and any culture is equally capable of visiting horror on their

Lioness Kurdish women show the Iranian opposition what meaningful resistance looks like.
A big strike action in Kurdistan, west of Iran began today, following 3 days of protest against the regime. Women are leading this resistance following the killing of Zhina(Mahsa) Amini because she did not wear a "proper" hijab.

The defeat of Morrison and Murdoch media in the Australian election is a victory for activists who fought to expose Australia’s anti-climate, anti-refugee and anti-women policies.

This is really something.
Prioritizing economy over people’s lives and environment is the hallmark of this coalition government.
Imagine if these people were in charge during Covid.
NZ would have not been able to save the 20,000 lives that it did.

Why isn't NZ following Australia's example and banning engineered stone, which can cause the debilitating and deadly disease silicosis?

A reminder that this government has cancelled many Kāinga Ora projects, bringing a huge level of uncertainty to the construction sector and putting the future jobs of these newly qualified builders at risk.
Hung out with some future qualified builders at Massey High’s Building Academy today. This great team is building Kāinga Ora houses on site at school and even let me lend a hand!

President Biden, it’s too late. Your legacy is set.
You will forever be known as the US president who helped turn Gaza into “the graveyard for children”.

Israel says it will issue pre-warning before bombing a building, allowing residents to leave. Obviously Hamas fighters would leave too.
Clearly, the aim here isn’t to eliminate Hamas (Israel knows it can’t be done).
The real aim is to flatten Gaza and make it uninhabitable

Let’s not forget Yasser Murtaja, a journalist who was covering the 2018 Gaza border protests, with a clearly marked press vest, when shot by IDF, or the young Rouzan al-Najjar, a medical nurse, who was shot with her hands up while wearing a while medical vest, also in 2018.

-No evidence for 3 Strikes
-No evidence for Boot Camps
- Anti-gang laws could make matters worse.
New Zealand has an anti-evidence government whose policies are based on impressionistic findings rather than empirical data.
Does not bode well.

I read Tova O’Brien’s piece with an entirely open mind, hoping to learn something but I found the reasoning quite confusing. Let me explain why.
