The people of Gaza are responsible for the situation they find themselves in. They aren't choosing terror because they are poor, they're poor because they choose terror. Money isn't the problem.
@JulietMosesNZ@plainjane130632@IsraelInstNZ She's like dog shit sticking to your shoe, no matter how much one tries wipe it off on the grass, you never fully get rid of it and the stench just keeps following you
@ElectoralCommNZ The phrase 'from the river to the sea' is acknowledged by all authoritative sources to mean calling for the genocide of all Jews. Which Hamas and Palestinian civilians (over 2000 civilians crossed the border) tried to do with their atrocities against Israelis on October 7, 2023.
How on earth can a party calling for this be on our electoral roll in New Zealand and receiving taxpayer money.
This is an official information request.
This is a disgrace @NZNationalParty@actparty@nzfirst@nzlabour
@secondzeit Ah, the 'it’s just a cartoon' defense—the classic intellectual safety foam for when the satire is about as subtle as a sledgehammer and twice as dim. If it’s just a parody, why is everyone involved sweating like they’re in a police lineup?
Let's imagine that at an official event in a minister's calendar Jamie Ensor, Marc Daalder, or Jenna Lynch let rip with a tirade of anti-Māori slurs toward a Māori journalist so bad that the minister shuts down the event. They apologise the next day & incident is hushed up.
Nearly a year later, Ensor/Daalder/Lynch finds themselves in hot water again & is suspended from Parliament. Media from outside the press gallery approach a Māori writer & tell her about what happened filling in the gaps for what she had heard rumours about previously.
The Māori writer is appalled at the slurs, but more so is sick to death of the hypocritical behaviour of the media. She sees the incident as evidence of the performative pretend Māori-allyship. She has watched the press gallery destroy the careers & mental health of many politicians & public figures for much less egregious matters than this incident.
So she talks to others in the media, checks the ministerial diary for the event, & verifies that the incident did indeed happen. She then writes a factual, sober account of what happened with commentary focused on the behaviour of the media as a whole.
Following this, having just been suspended from Parliament & with allegations of other incidents circulating, Ensor/Daalder/Lynch resigns.
Immediately the media & the online left turns on the Māori writer. Nevermind that she never called for Ensor/Daalder/Lynch to resign or be sacked. She is attacked relentlessly online with conspiracies, lies, and abuse. She is told that despite being Māori she has no right to take issue with Māori slurs being hurled around at a ministerial event. She is told she is politicising it. That she has agendas. That she is a bitch, a cunt, is so ugly that she should stick to radio, a Nazi, far right, & should kill herself.
The problem is the Māori writer, not the person who yelled Māori slurs, and not the press gallery for hushing it up. All because she wrote about a senior member of the press gallery being explicitly racist at a ministerial event.
@GregPresland@thestandard Dirty Politics 2.0? Mate, Maiki wasn’t taken out by conspiracy; she face-planted with her own homophobic slur and parliamentary suspension. National didn’t need dirt files; she supplied the receipts herself. Intimidation? It’s consequences. Call it Personal Responsibility 1.0.
@AuschwitzMuseum I've lost count of the responses from Facebook after submitting reports coming back saying "We didn't remove the page/post/photo". I will, however continue to submit them for this kind of rubbish.
@DontGetRektBro@MarkHubbard33@Medo198518 Answer these for me then:
- Israel has the power to exterminate tens of thousands in a day, what's hasn't it happened?
- Why are the Palestinians in the West Bank untouched?
- Why warm civilians before strikes?
- Why does it look like a war and not a genocide?
This is the trailer for our documentary on the Bondi terror attack, which has just gone up on YouTube.

It's a bad day for South Africa's case to prove that Israel committed "gEnOCiDe" at the ICJ.
First, Bolivia and Honduras pulled out, and Honduras's President is Palestinian
Second, Paraguay have rejected South Africa's claims
Third, South Africa's pay check is getting incinerated in Iran
Oh dear.
@xjet@YouTube Thanks for confirming that, I ran into the issue and thought that it was just me. Then I came here to search and see if it was happening for others too
If you claim to support human rights yet can’t bring yourself to show solidarity with those fighting for their liberty in Iran, you’ve revealed yourself. You don’t give a damn about people being oppressed and brutalised so long as it’s being done by the enemies of your enemies.
