Balanced News: Pro-Palestinian protesters splash red paint on US consulate, MFAT buildings in Auckland

Pro-Palestinian protesters in Auckland, New Zealand, splashed red paint on the US Consulate and Ministry of Foreign Affairs buildings. The group, Tamaki for Palestine, claimed the paint symbolized blood on the hands of US and New Zealand officials due to the deaths of thousands of people in Gaza. They called for the expulsion of the US Ambassador in New Zealand and for New Zealand’s envoy in Washington to be brought home. The words “Ceasefire Now” were also tagged on the buildings. The US Consulate and MFAT have yet to comment on the incident.
