Gaza protest paint bombs Rakon - Free Palestine - NZ 2009 GPJA

At an Auckland protest against the invasion of Gaza and the contribution of the Rakon company to death and destruction around the globe, A christian peace activist was arrested for an act of non-violent direct action after climbing onto the roof of Rakon's manufacturing facility and revealed the true nature of the Rakon company, using red paint to adjust the building's signage to say 'Rakon Kills', an accurate and unfortunate reality. This action was taken during a protest of around 400 people opposing the ongoing israeli invasion of GAZA. In addition to this action others threw water baloons of red paint at the front of the building. These paint bombs were to symbolise the blood shed of hundreds of palestineans by israel.

Great to see people standing up for the rights of the Palestinians. The world needs to know the truth and this is a good start here in NZ. Companies such as this, and in fact, all weapons makers and arms-related organizations should be wiped off the face of the earth. PEACE will overcome. One day.

@trollflagger Doesn't mean you use white phosphorus over a civilian population. I was pro-Israel until I saw the civilian death tolls. Collateral damage my foot! Not only that but the birth defect rate in Gaza has nearly doubled. Don't use the actions of Arafat and others to justify harm done to civilians.

Isn't this biting off the hand that feeds you, where do you think the money comes from to pay for your day off work? your benefits, Roads, Infrastructure. Companies like this pays millions every year in tax which circulates the economy and end up in your pockets. We can only keep our own conscious clean, Palenstine fires rockets into Israel, and commits frequent acts of terrorism without Jerusalem . Get over it, there will always be war, people will always die, that's the way it has been

If someone was trashing your house/car/property don't you think you would like some evidence for the court case and the insurance company?
