The news that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is considering making a run for US president has been welcomed by grassroot activists but set the alarm bells ringing among the Democratic Party corporate establishment.

New Zealand’s refusal to recognise Palestine is not a matter of 'diplomatic caution' — it is a shameful act of complicity. While some 157 nations have already taken this basic step toward justice, our government hides behind empty talk of 'balance' and 'process.' While Deputy Prime Minister and Act Party leader David Seymour claims that the Government has shown 'independence in foreign policy' in truth, it is bending to the pressure of the Zionist lobby, currying favour with Washington,...| AGAINST THE CURRENT

This is what Marilyn Garson of Alternative Jewish Voices had to say about it outside the offices of Radio New Zealand in Wellington on September 19.| AGAINST THE CURRENT

A DEMOCRACY THAT IS NEITHER REPRESENTATIVE NOR DEMOCRATIC| nzagainstthecurrent.blogspot.com
The so-called 'two speed' economic recovery is a convenient fiction, designed to hide the fact that the coalition Government's economic policies have deliberately widened the road for the few, at the expense of the many. | AGAINST THE CURRENT

At the same time, over $100,000 in contributions from the fishing industry have flowed to Jones and NZ First. Is it just a coincidence, or is there something fishy going on?

For nearly two years, RNZ's Mediawatch has remained silent about Gaza. Even the fact that the Israel military have killed over 250 journalists in Gaza has not compelled Mediawatch to comment. But on Sunday, presenter Colin Peacock suddenly had something to say about events in the besieged Palestinian enclave. However, like RNZ itself, Peacock still won't acknowledge that Israel is committing genocide. | AGAINST THE CURRENT
