New Zealand’s Prime Minister Christopher Luxon’s public meeting in Christchurch was disrupted this week by an attendee who called out the PM’s support for the Isr*eli Occupation.
The disrupter can be seen screaming: “They k*lled 20,000 children, and you gave Isr*el money! They starved the children of G*za, and you gave Isr*el money! You disgraced New Zeland... If this was the 1940s, you would have supported the N*zis!”
They were then dragged out by security. Luxon could be seen staring blankly, then nodding his head in disagreement.
Despite supporting the ICC’s arrest warrant of Benjamin Nentanyahu, Luxon’s administration and previous NZ administrations have refused to take tangible, material measures to punish Isr*el.
Activists say the government’s continued normalisation, refusal to impose sanctions, and taking no measures outside of symbolic ones that deliver nothing material for the P*lestinian cause demonstrate not only failure to act, but complicity.
