re can NZ afford defence? Of course it can. Our partners just want us to contribute our share, and they have enuff common sense to know that NZ is a sml economy. 3% of GDP is where it should be. Not less than 1.5%.

@plainjane130632@kristanoutagate@IsraelInstNZ re toning down. Why do U need to tone down at all? Wldnt need 2 if U started politely in the 1st place. U want to influence? Then honey wks better than vinegar. Always welcome on our X page but we wnt 2 kp it a safe place for all.
@plainjane130632 re loving Israel. There R many motives for supporting Israel. Many of us thirst for justice, fairness and freedom. When we lk at wht kind of society the Palestinians hv built 4 thmselves, we see corruption, might is right, oppression. PA & Hamas build Mafia-style govts.
@i_a_mit@plainjane130632@IsraelInstNZ@IsraelinNZ re western leaders R self interested. Most leaders no matter where they come from R. R Eastern leaders different? R african leaders different? You've just described a feature of humanity. The ones that don't, stand out.
@plainjane130632 re whites. Thts amazingly racist, & ironic considering your photo suggests you're white! Have U done a count of the different ethnicities fighting for Israel's survival in the IDF? Do U really want to deny their ethnic heritages 2?
re complicit. The pro-Palestinian supporter is complicit in Oct 7 atrocities, in not speaking out against Iranian oppression of its people, of Hamas' use of human shields, of public executions of political rivals, of diverting humanitarian aid to promote famine propaganda.
@plainjane130632 Nope. re sterilisation of Ethiopian women. According to multiple investigations, DepoโProvera a longโacting contraceptive, was applied 2 Ethiopian immigrant women. Not a sterilization program, & official inquiries found no evidence of a state policy of forced sterilization.
Re Only Zionist White Supremacists are friendly toward Israel? Say that to the 160,000 Ethiopian Jewish Israelis who call Israel their home. Your prejudiced view of the Jewish community is stuck in a rather narrow and racist stereotype. https://t.co/3cvvFMGQzh
@plainjane130632@IsraelInstNZ re calling U antisemitic. We haven't. But we would like U 2 bring more evidence to support your accusations. But why do you nvr talk abt the crimes against Israel? R U interested in Justice or not? Or R U jst 1-eyed?
@roadracerkev@Peitho_hint@plainjane130632@IsraelInstNZ re trouble finding Jews. Easy: Antisemitism & human propensity to project all their woes on someone else, rather than taking self responsibility. I'm poor: Jews control the economy. I'm unhappy. Jews stole my happiness. I'm hurt. Jews must have made them hurt me.
@plainjane130632@IsraelInstNZ re genocide. Did you know Ireland applied to the ICJ to change the legal definition of Genocide b/c they knew they wouldn't win the case otherwise. Do you find that troubling as a principle of law?
