Five years after the March 15 Christchurch mosque attacks we need to do more to counter the spread of hate and division, at home and in places like Gaza, Prof Robert Patman says. That meant addressing injustices in New Zealand and overseas. The University of Otago international relations specialist said he was disappointed by how quiet New Zealand has been on the Gaza conflict. Israel's retaliatory military campaign has killed at least 31,184 Palestinians and injured 72,889, according to Gaza authorities. Speaking on Global Insight, Prof Patman also discussed changes and initiatives that have come from the March 15, 2019, atrocity in Christchurch.
