Media Advisory:

As the 12-month anniversary of Israel’s genocide approaches, in 28 centres thousands of people will protest this weekend…

Over 30 Palestine solidarity protests across 28 centres around the country this weekend will call out the Luxon government’s complicity with genocide.

In the meantime, Israel drops three MK-84 bombs on an Al Mawasi tent encampment in an Israeli designated “safe zone” killing at least 19 and injuring dozens more.

The bombs most likely use Rakon-supplied crystal oscillators for the one tonne (2000lb) bombs’ guidance systems.

The US briefly suspended MK-84 supplies to Israel in May saying Israel could use them in densely populated areas of Gaza. The US resumed sending the bombs and Israel used them as predicted – in the indiscriminate killing of Palestinians.

The details of the protests around the country this weekend are on the PSNA Facebook events page here. Basic details are below.
