Fucking aye NZ, go off mate.
A group calling itself Tamaki for Palestine said the paint symbolised blood on US and New Zealand officials’ hands following the death of thousands of people in Gaza.
It claims the current tensions did not start on 7 October with the Hamas attack in Israel.
Did they issue a statement?
Do they have a website?
I can’t find a website or even a facebook page for them.

Well it certainly kicked off the latest round
It claims the current tensions did not start on 7 October with the Hamas attack in Israel.
It didn’t start with October 7th, Hamas has fired thousands of rockets at Israel and sent over plenty of suicide bombers before that. October 7th is just when Israel gave up pretending the cease fires actually worked.
It started when the colonial state of Israel was forced upon the people living in the area.
Israel has to exist. The land was already inhabited by Jews and there were several partition offers.
Fuck, no.
No ethno-state ever has to exist.
So where should all the Jews go? What if they originated from Yemen or countries similar to it? Edit: What would be your solution then? From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free? Lead by Hamas or Fatah?
Israel is not all Jewish people, so it’s existence as a state does not change the living circumstances for Jewish people across the world.
As for a solution, no one has the easy fix and it’s a difficult road a head as you’ll see from any post-colonial country. I can say that the process can never start while one side is unfairly oppressed and murdered however.
Israel is not all Jewish but around 70% are Jews. The biggest minority are Arabs (~20%) that have the same rights as all other citizens.
How come Israel its existence does not change the living conditions for Jewish people? There are literally several countries (especially Arab ones) where every Jew gets killed for being a Jew. Israel is a place for them where they can relatively easily obtain citizenship and not get killed.
Actually, it started when the Romans kicked all the Jews out and to spite them renamed the land of Israel to Roman Palestina.
That is such a warped view on history.
Even Herodotus was referencing the region as Syria Palaestina, 500 years prior before the Romans merged two provinces together.
Palestine/Syria was always the name, Judea was only ever a tiny fraction of that land.
As for the Romans kicking everyone out (realistically they murdered/enslaved most), well no shit. We all have stories of the Romans doing that to our ancestors as well, the Romans and every other empire in history are famously shitty.
Actually, it started when ooga booga stole his best friend’s favorite rock.
They’ve been feuding over it ever since.
October 7th is just when Israel gave up pretending the cease fires actually worked.
I’m sorry, what? You mean October 7th is when Hamas was wildly successful in their attack vs. all the previous times?
Yes, after once again breaking the ceasefire with a barrage of rockets for the umpteenth time.
