& if you think what Israel & the US etc are doing & continuing to be permitted to do by sack of shit Govts like ours is any different, or not your problem because it's a long way away. It's history repeating for exactly the same purpose - settler greed for land, resources & power
Today we must remember Parihaka: 5 November 1881. The violent invasion of pacifist settlement at Parihaka - Te rā o te pāhua. About 1600 troops invaded Parihaka. Why? Settler greed for land.
