Get Action! NZ Government Sanction Israel Now w/ Nadine from Aotearoa for Palestine: 17 September, 2025

Over the weekend, the largest pro-Palestinian protest in Aotearoa’s history was held in Tāmaki Makaurau, drawing a crowd of well over 25,000 people.

One of the mains calls of protestors and the organisers was for the government to place sanctions on Israel for actions they’ve committed during their war on Gaza, which the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory has officially referred to as genocidal and have led to the deaths of almost 65,000 Palestinians since October 2023.

For this week’s Get Action! Wednesday Wire Host Oto spoke with Nadine Mortaja, one of the organisers behind Saturday’s March for Humanity, about a petition of hers calling for the New Zealand Government to place sanctions on Israel.
