Nakba protest in Auckland's Silo Park (PMC)

AUCKLAND (PMC): About 50 people gathered in Auckland’s Silo Park today (13 May 2018) to protest over the 70th year of Nakba - also known as the Palestinian “catastrophe”.
The protesters included a Palestinian whose father had been evicted by Israeli forces to make way for Jewish settlers and a prominent Pacific social justice advocate who had protested during the 1981 Springbok rugby tour of New Zealand.
Both protesters likened the policies of the Israeli state to the anti-apartheid policies of the former white minority South African regime.
