Activist John Minto defends controversial 'genocide hotline'

The Palestinian Solidarity Network Aotearoa's launched what it calls a 'genocide hotline' - asking people to report sightings of Israeli Defence Force soldiers holidaying in New Zealand.

It's part of their campaign against the war on Gaza, and it says the focus is not Israeli or Jewish people - but IDF soldiers. 

National chair, John Minto, says now is a window of opportunity to pressure Israel more to continue with the ceasefire. 

"There's been industrial-scale killing of Palestinians in Gaza - no one involved in that army should be allowed into New Zealand." 

The post has prompted more than 100 complaints to the Human Rights Commission.
