No... absolutely the opposite.

Why’s that Mike?

Why’s that Mike?

Because John Key was trying to get the Cabinet of the then Labour Government to change it's Foreign Affairs policy... which is the role of the opposition, to scrutinise the Government's policy. Chloe, on the other hand, tried to introduce a Bill to force the Government to change it's policy.... that's what her call for 6 government MP's to cross the floor.... it would have forced a Foreign Policy change.... not through the Cabinet but through Parliament.

And, BTW, I thoroughly support a two party state with Israel and Palestine co-existing ... just not the undemocratic way she was trying to force it through.

I can't believe you've made me do this - what a corrupting movie.

Never saw that one. I'll be gone for approximately an hour and a half comrade, no time to explain.

Ah well, whether this has prompted it or not the government is finally starting to make some noise with Luxon saying Netanyahu has lost the plot. NZ needs to join the growing amount of countries that are outraged at what’s happening and what’s proposed over there

I don't know what exactly is proposed, but I'm afraid it's a Biblical solution and it's beginning to look a lot like genocide.

Much of the world doesn’t seem to be able to comprehend that supporting Palestine doesn’t mean supporting hamas. Most recent figures say 35% of Palestinians support hamas, but transparency in finding that statistic seems unlikely? I don’t think many oppose the quest to be rid of hamas, but the collateral and destruction is unjust and I agree is a genocide. The proposal is that Netanyahu will take complete control over Gaza

My grandad was a Jew who got deported from northern Italy as a young man and survived various concentration camps before ending up in NZ and immediately starting a family with another member of the tribe, to get back at Hitler for murdering his family according to him. And because he fell in love, I like to think.
He wasn't a fan of Israel because of the Russian influx in the 1950s, he said "bubbalah, if you knew what they had to do to survive the Russian lagers you wouldn't want to be in a country run by them, it made them fucking psychopaths, if I were you I'd stick to being a secular atheist kiwi like me and forget about Abrahamic death cults. Anyway, Merry Christmas. Here's your gift, it was your great granddad's kippah, don't wear it out."

Chloe's performance is making news internationally, this is pretty bad optics for Gerry Brownlee

Funny really as in the middle east as you would know, the Kippah relates like the Keffiyeh. Only men could wear it but I guess Chloe and her friends sort of fit the bill. And my understanding is that both garments are worn on the head. Not sure where the decorative scarf thing came from. Bit like being Gay or Trans in Iran.
Yes, a fair few are psychopaths like your Grandpa says (Putin agrees) but tbh ISIS made the Haganah look like kindergarten pupils.
