Prime Minister Chris Hipkins is appropriate to sentence Hamas killing Israeli civilians in its assaults on Israel this week.
The killing of civilians or taking them hostage is a struggle crime underneath the Fourth Geneva Conference and needs to be universally condemned.
Nevertheless the Labour authorities has been deathly silent on the struggle crimes dedicated by Israel in opposition to Palestinians underneath Labour’s watch these previous six years.
Below his Prime Ministerial watch Chris Hipkins has appeared the opposite approach whereas Israel has constructed extra Israeli settlement properties on Palestinian land; killed greater than 250 Palestinian civilians; supported Israeli settler pogroms in opposition to Palestinian cities and villages throughout the occupied West Financial institution and inspired highly-provocative Israeli ministerial and settler incursions into the Al Aqsa compound in occupied East Jerusalem.
Why does he solely get up when Israelis are killed? Why does he assume Israeli lives are extra essential than Palestinian lives?
The Prime Minister’s pro-Israel stance is one-sided and blatantly racist.
New Zealand, together with different western nations, bears heavy duty for the deaths of Palestinians and Israelis in current days as a result of now we have by no means held Israel to account for its crimes in opposition to the Palestinian individuals.
We have now given Israel a free cross to homicide and abuse Palestinians and this led to the inevitable tragedy final weekend.
It’s exactly the angle of western leaders akin to our Prime Minister which has meant so many lives have been misplaced.
The Prime Minister has the blood of Palestinians and Israelis on his arms.
