Huge story about the ethnic cleansing of two million Palestinians that has been completely ignored by @BBCWorld, @nytimes, @thetimes and most of the legacy media

The NZ Govt just spent the last two years introducing policies to make NZ more dependent on fossil fuels, and proudly overturning policies that were reducing our dependence on fossil fuels. Now they have some Mickey Mouse national fuel plan. What a joke.
The CTU has today released its report on electricity in New Zealand. We are calling for electricity generators to be brought back into public ownership - and to recognise electricity for what it really is - a public utility not just a source of profit. 🧵 https://t.co/oK7TGjakUt
#NZ has placed itself on the wrong side of history by not recognising #Palestine. As more & more countries move to see that recognition is part of a process of moving towards a solution, NZ is lagging behind for reasons which make very little sense at all. https://t.co/mBupLR3XY1
Final 2025 boundary review: initial assessment
An area around Whangaruru moves from Northland into Whangarei. ~1200 votes.
No significant impact on results for either seat.

Video shows an Israeli drone killing a Palestinian carrying a sack of flour in Gaza City. Israel has killed around 600 people trying to get food from sites operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which has been condemned as “an abomination” and “a death trap” by the UN.
I wonder what it takes for liberal democracies like New Zealand to find their voice and publicly condemn Israel's blockade of humanitarian aid to the residents of Gaza - they are not all members of Hamas - and the subsequent unilateral breach of the ceasefire by Netanyahu's govt.
New analysis reveals that School Lunch Collective meals under the #KaOraKaAko programme fail to meet critical nutrition standards—and many don’t provide enough energy for growing kids. Urgent action is needed.
