@aniobrien The kicker is that Chlöe refused to properly apologise for her behaviour and will probably continue to give the NZ Jewish Community a massive middle finger. Oh, and the HRC doesn't seem to care much either. ZB+ continues to report what others are too ideologically captured to.

Two NZ MPs have been part of an open FB page that has been full of antisemitic content for years, and recently also had posts glorifying the Oct 07 massacre. It's a shame no NZ media have been interested in this story. #nzpol

@dbseymour @damienmgrant You remain the only anti-racist in parliament to speak up against the unprecedented antisemitism at this frightening time. Thank you so much, Mr Seymour! #nzpol

The @nzherald can't quite use the word "terrorist" for some reason. They also omit to look beyond a grotesque scorecard and tell Kiwis that the 1300+ murdered by Hamas were tortured, raped, burned alive, decapitated... as if the intent and atrocities of Hamas are irrelevant.

There are people in NZ wanting to show solidarity for airline hijackings, suicide bombings, shootings, and participation in the rape, torture, murder, and kidnapping of Oct 07. The PFLP is designated a terrorist organization by the United States, Japan, Canada, and the European

Allegations UNRWA staff were involved in the abhorrent October 7 terror attacks are deeply concerning. Australia welcomes UNRWA’s swift response and will engage closely on investigations. We are speaking with partners and will temporarily pause disbursement of recent funding.

Any comment on this, given your statements urging leaders to be careful with words, @PaulHuntSRights ? Or do you give NZ Labour a few pass just like you were silent about UK Labour antisemitism as you stood for a seat under Corbyn?

When @NZStuff outdoes @guardian on misleading headlines. "Protest" is a strange way to describe an attempted pogrom.
