Winston Peters says Israel’s actions getting ‘out of hand’ ahead of planned Rafah offensive
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has joined with the leaders of Australia and Canada to express grave concern about Israel’s planned ground offensive into the southern Gazan city of Rafah.
It’s the strongest statement from New Zealand yet as the number of people killed in the conflict continues to climb.
NZ, Canada and Australia’s weak tantrum against Israel’s ethnic cleansing war crime is simply too little too late.
Israel’s attacks on Gaza have killed at least 28,663 Palestinians and wounded 68,395 since October 7.
The death toll in Israel from the October 7 Hamas-led attacks stands at 1,139.
The disproportionate violence here is beyond appeals from friends.
Here’s Winston gland handling the Israeli Ambassador earlier this week.
NZs petty attempts to protest Israel’s ethnic cleansing war crime has belittled our mana and our moral high ground.
We are refusing to do what is required to against this appalling level of violence, and because we are cowards, this Government shames us all.

Well, its more than I ever expected from this mob. As there is no end to this calamity, thus far, then, better late than never. But yeah, the pic is here is spot on, a chasm has opened up in the mana and morality of the entire West, let alone just us.
” The myth of western humanity and democracy ” died even before the current monstrous genocide of the Palestinian people.
1. The invasion of Iraq and the war crimes perpetrated in Fallujah where civilians were slaughtered to terrorise the population. refer video ” collateral damage ” where innocent civilians and ambulance crew were slaughtered from an Apache helicopter. WikiLeaks video ‘shows US attack’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaqY12VHFv4
2. The destruction of Africa’s economic and social “jewel in the crown” Libya and the murder of Gaddafi.
3. The attempted destruction of Syria by funding insurgent groups stopped by Russian intervention.
4. The funding of the putsch that overthrew the democratically elected government of Ukraine installing an anti Russian regime that made war on the eastern Russian people of Lugansk and Donetsk who would not accept the criminal coup.
4a The funding of the Kiev regime with billions of dollars and weapons to beat down and disintegrate the breakaway areas forcing a Russian intervention.The loss of 500,000 Ukrainian lives and over a million disabled.
5. The jailing of the truth teller Julian Assange.
6. The Invasion of Afghanistan.
Gaza is the logical result of a modus operandi started in 1991 with the bombing of Irag in the Gulf War.
The Zionazis have merely copied this template learned from the US.
The complicity of the US and U$K and western governments in the murder of the innocents in Gaza.
The West has shown a murderous ruthlessness only matched by the NAZIS of WWII
The humanitarian damage has been brutal. Too little too late and also no where near enough with this weak sauce response, finally. What will they do when they attack Rafah? Nothing.
Now check this out via The Guardian re authoritarianism.

“We’re seeing a global rise of authoritarianism. If we’re not careful this sort of technology is going to massively accelerate it. Being able to suck people into an alternate universe, numb them with entertainment, and dictate how they see reality? That’s an authoritarian’s dream. We’re entering an age where people can be mollified and manipulated like never before. Forget Mussolini’s bread and circuses, budding fascists now have doughnuts and Vision Pros.”
We AO/NZ’ers don’t have a democracy. We can vote until the dairy cows run out of water but we will still only be left with neo-liberalism, which, as we know, is authoritarian. One can have anything one wants, much less what one needs but if you’re poor then ( At the expense of, and as a consequence of, the rich. ) dear boys and girls suffering from quaint ol’ poverty, well you’re fucked.
Bread and circuses indeed but only after they eat the cake.
This is what one gets when one’s convinced by others that they know better about how to manage your financial and private lives better than you do, and that’s because they need you to work more hours for them than you must work for yourself. Modern life per se is a swindle. When ever there’s a ‘MASSIVE SALE! HURRY! MUST END MONDAY’ you end up further down the plug hole with their foot on the back of your neck but politely so, they don’t want to actually kill off the host. Who else otherwise would they parasitise to exploit so as they will always remain in control. Does that sound like authoritarianism to you or do you think they’re being hugely kind and thoughtful that they enable you to get so easily into debt by borrowing against your mortgage, and how lucky to do feel for that awesome mortgage. Didn’t those house prices just shoot up just because they could?
You beautiful people, you lovely souls. You’re being exploited in a most polite manner.
Remember: 14 multi-billionaires, 3118 multi-millionaires each with $50 million net and the four wonderful foreign owned banks ( How exotic! ) who [gave] you those mortgages aka death pledges who take $180.00 a second 24/7/365 until you either die or are murdered by the impoverished.
Go out into the country, walk up a hill, look about. See? All that? Is bullshit.
Winstone has been weak on this issue, the tin hats made him soft in the head and too much of his energy is going into negative policies like smoking and destroying our natural environment. In the meantime, we have to listen to the verbal diarrhea coming out of motor mouth Jones mouth. Did his Kuia not teach him about humbleness and humility.
He has long forgotten what he learnt at his Kuia’s knees, if in fact he learnt anything. He has fully gone over to the dark side. Not that he needed much persuasion.
In the statement you will find this.
Any ceasefire cannot be one sided. Hamas must lay down its arms and release all hostages immediately. We again unequivocally condemn Hamas for its terror attacks on Israel on October 7.
It doesn’t require Israel to release captives or lay down arms. Which totally invalidates the joint letter.
It’s PR, nothing less. None of the leaders of Canada, Australia or NZ have any sincerity, they are Zionist sock puppets. Luxon, Peters, Seymour associates to genocide, spineless cretins.
It’s hilarious. The lying zionists love to bleat about how ‘terrorists’ need to lay down their arms, when every human being on earth knows what zionists love to do to Palestinian civilians (particularly minors) for fun.
You might be personally the biggest pacifist on earth, but if a bunch of serial murders and child rapists (zionists) force you out of your home and you have to move in with your brother who keeps a few guns around in case he has to shoot back at them, you aren’t going to insist that he gets rid of all his guns.
It’s not even a mild criticism, it’s just ass covering. The simple fact is that by failing to arrest and try Ran Yaakoby for incitement to genocide, Winston Peters, Christopher Luxon, and the rest of the current cabinet and Christopher Hipkins too are guilty of conspiring to assist in genocide. They think these farts of disquiet at the continuation of the zionist program of genocide will be enough to ensure they are not brought to justice in the future, legally and with due process (they won’t).
These politicians are reacting solely to shifts in public sentiment. There is not an iota of genuine ethical or moral depth in their stances or statements.
Maintain the public campaign against IDF terrorism.
