Israel is a tyrant expansionist terrorist state backed by US, UK and Germany. These 4 form an axis of evil sewing hell and chaos in the Middle East. It is European colonial imperialism which is always genocidal. No nation backing this axis is on the right side of history.

Most of the big mining companies are Aussie - including Taranaki seabed miner TTR - set to take the lions share of value and leave us with the acid mine drainage, cyanide laden tailings dams, destroyed seabed and extinct wildlife. We can’t mine our way to a liveable planet.
New Zealand... first? If Shane Jones gets his way and expands mining in New Zealand, what proportion of the industry's profits will stay in the country? Watch his full interview: https://t.co/zBEFBZVPZ3
