What’s outlined in this article explains Seymour’s and other conservative and neo liberal NZers attitudes to the genocide and 75+ years of Israeli terrorism and atrocities committed against the indigenous population of Palestine. David Slacks analogy is literal.

Agree re Israel and the Palestinians. Sadly, the creation of the Israeli state was well-intentioned but poorly executed and gave no protections at all to the Palestinian people. Paalestinians have suffered ever since 1947 at the hands of Israel and the IDF who have confiscated their lands and further marginalised them. It is such an unbelieveable tragedy and beggars belief that the two nations who orchestrated the founding of Israel, the UK and the US will not intervene and redress the wrongs perpetuated by Israel towards Palestinians. As long as Netanyehu knows Biden has his back he will carry on as he always has like a total thug.

I really appreciated this read thank you, your article encapsulates my point of view nicely. I am part of a group that pushes back against the racist outpouring on social media, primarily Facebook. Sites like newstalk zb are simply vile. There are lots of great points in your article that could do with repeating on such pages. Arohamai for not contributing right now, bit overstretched on a pension. Keep up the great work. I really hope a groundswell (not the fascist rabble version!) of opposition to the COC is slowly building.
