Kia Ora Gaza

Media release
23 September 2011

As the Palestinian Authority bid for state recognition causes a storm in the UN, a group of 4 Kiwis prepares to join the planned international peace convoy to besiged Gaza in December.

Kia Ora Gaza will send the group on the Viva Palestina6 aid mission, intent on linking up with the Egyptian uprising to open the southern Gaza border crossing, and break the illegal Israeli siege permanently. The New Zealand contingent will be announced when the Kia Ora Gaza campaign is launched on Tuesday 27 September.

Kia Ora Gaza participated in last year's siege-busting Viva Palestina convoy of 150 ambulances & trucks, which successfully delivered $NZ7million worth of medical aid to Gaza.

Gordon Campbell: On Why We Can’t Survive Two More Years Of This

Remember those silent movies where the heroine is tied to the railway tracks or going over the waterfall in a barrel? Finance Minister Nicola Willis seems intent on portraying herself as that damsel in distress. According to Willis, this country’s current economic problems have all been caused by the spending schemes cooked up by the dastardly and long-departed Grant Robertson, in cahoots with Treasury. So don’t blame her for the current state of the New Zealand economy. We appear to be paying her over $300,000 a year to wring her hands and blame everyone else for the country’s plight.
