Pro-Palestinian group applauds vandalism of US embassy

From Checkpoint, 5:49 pm on 14 November 2023

The US Embassy and Ministry of Foreign Affairs offices in Auckland were vandalised by pro Palestinian protesters today.

Tamaki for Palestine splashed red paint on the buildings and tagged them with the words "ceasefire now."

It says the paint represents the thousands of Palestinians killed by Israel in Gaza.

However Jewish representatives say the act was pointless, and went too far.

Jordan Dunn has the story.
