Today PSNA sent the following self-explanatory email message to Parliament’s Speaker Gerry Brownlee.
Kia ora Mr Brownlee,
We have noted media reports that the Palestinian keffiyeh is now a banned item of clothing in parliament’s public gallery.
This is an outrageous and untenable.
Does this ban include the Jewish kippah, the Turkish Fez, the English bowler hat and the Mexican poncho?

Or is this shameful discrimination reserved for the Palestinian victims of Israeli genocide?
Please respond urgently.
Ngā mihi.
Nā,

Quite tricky to buy a decent bowler down Queen Street these days
Henry F. One used to get colonialist hats free from church porches, but grabbing one from a passing Green on a bike could be a not unreasonable option now, or wear a bird’s nest like Dr Elizabeth done.
John – Yes to all of your questions.
Jews aren’t a race Nathan there lies the deeply flawed ideology that zionist like yourself have ingrained in your thick skulls and lied to the world for ova 100 years. The Palestinians are the indigenous peoples whether they’re Jews, Muslims, Christians these religions believe in the same monotheists beliefs.
The white jews and a percentage of arab jews from arab states either need to go back to where their parents ancestral lands or start to create a state for all its citizens not just for one particular group.
Free Palestine
While I agree with your last 2 word’s the rest of it doesn’t agree with the history I believe. Abram came from Canaan and was told that he would be the father of many nations, eventually the Jews came out of Egypt and the nation bit has happened, there were many conditional promises given to them which they mostly failed to keep until the seed would come (Gen 17, Gal 3:16) however they rejected Him and we’re no longer of any spiritual significance. Like most people on the Earth they would rather believe a lie than accept an inconvenient truth.
The Holocaust combined with false prophecy from apostate christians along with Jewish activism allowed the Western nations to support a new land of Israel which is why we have the mess there today. As Martyn has published many times the Jews have continually taken more land from the Palestinians and are clearly the invader yet because of deception most of the Western governments still support them. As difficult as it is for you to accept the Jews still have the right to live so a solution needs to reflect that somehow. Netanyahu is one of many Jewish leaders who make it impossible for a fair solution so you should concentrate your anger on them and the Zionist Jews instead of making blanket statements that all Jews are bad.
Bonnie, the biblical story is devoid of basic facts in most cases and scenarios. But if you want to use the biblical narrative, than doesn’t it say that Jews came out of bondage from Egypt into the land of Canaan or canaanites the ancestors of the Palestinians. Abram didn’t come from Canaan as you claimed he was borned in Mesopotamia now known as Iraq even he says he’s a visitor to Canaan. Let’s be frank white people from europe aren’t native to Palestine that just laughable, it’s like saying the Celtic Race populated NZ before Maori is just fanciful made-up shit.
“Way way back many centuries ago, not long after the Bible began
Jacob lived in the land of Canaan, a fine example of a family man
Jacob, Jacob and sons, depended on farming to earn their keep
Jacob, Jacob and sons, spent all of their days in the fields with sheep“
I am generally of your view,
however decolonisation never involves “go home”.
Look sa NZ –
Israelis need to abandon the violent political ideology of Zionism – “none of the people, all of the land”
accept their colonial identity,
and ask for forgiveness – with all that that entails.
On that basis a peace and reconciliation and reparation can create a new Israel/Palestine, one state or 2.
The problem is still that the Zionists have power and backing to pursue their genocidal vision. Boycott Divest and Sanction, and back the UN rulings – which created Israel – is all it needs. The Europeans need to say “we backed you in good faith, but we were wrong.” then France, Uk and US will fold last. Followed by the media.
Tipene – How did you get that from my reply to John?
Cowboy hats too please
Keepcalmcarryon He needs that hat to stop his lonely wee brain cell from escaping, and where would it go ? Paris at the tax-payers’ expense again ? Land on an Irish washerwoman’s head? Ireland has suffered enough, we inflicted Trevor on them, so let’s not drag the Irish into the Cirque de Beehive. If you’re not careful they could replace the Parliamentary prayer with “ Danny Boy” sung in Gaelic with time-lapsed translations. What next ? Compulsory sausage rolls and shirts busting out all over ?
GA, The Irish colonist played a significant role in fucking ova Maori and forcibly taking Maoriland. Did you know that ‘Governor George Grey’ had Irish heritage? also ‘Irish Major Trevor Chute’ murdering Taranaki woman children for no other reason but their race. The 18th Royal Irish regiment was the longest & most brutal serving colonial military in NZ during the NZ Wars. Even the Scotts don’t fair well considering that they ended up with dispossessed lands taken off the Maori people.

And bald heads.
Dear Mr Speaker,
Kindly ban bare feet, sox with sandals, Greta Garbo spectacles, Hyena laughter, cultural appropriation from Enid Blyton’s Noddy, and chewing gum as banned in Singapore. Hands in pockets while speaking are sufficiently ethnically slurring to warrant being tossed straight or otherwise into Wellington Harbour.
Yours etc
Old King Coal.
I guess it started with some members dressing up in cowboy hats and yes, bowler hats (btw no one has ever explained the relevance of said attire, especially since those wearing them apparently hate colonialism??).
Do we wait for a pastafarian to wear a colander on their head before setting standards?
Virtue signalling from self righteous representatives who need to be coming together on issues affecting Kiwis.
white supremacy at its best
Jerry NZ IS NOT A WHITE ONLY NATION NOW .
Just look at the number of Indians you are trying to sign up to your own party .
Are you going to ban head wear at National party conferences in the near future .
You do not seem to like Indians do you.They work hard and are not usually involved in crime and look after their children so what is not to like.
Having worked with many Indians over the years looks are only skin deep .I have seen abuse of their women in the work place by Indian men .I have seen exploitation of fellow Indians by their country men .
Back in the day they were as you describe but sadly over the last 15 years that standard has dropped for the worse .
I know some very respectable indians but have met and worked with some mongrel ones as well .
When one fucks you over you will see what I mean .
I have workers with plenty of white men and Maori men who fit your description of a bad person.In all cases it is a minority so why tar them all with the same bush.That is a racist attitude
yes I am racist when I point out the exploitation of indians and pacific people by fellow indians and pacific employers .The majority of the exploitation cases is clearly by indians exploiting indians .This is NZ we dont need this shit coming to our country .Hell i was told by a young Indian fellow who was trying to buy a dairy shop how he discovered a cartel that was being used ti inflate the turnover of shops for sale to then on sell to fellow indians .They would funnel stock through the shop that was for sale which was infact stock for upto 10 other shops .This inflated the turn over which then collapsed once the new owner took over .
Nothing white about it. The filth who Brownlee is serving are just as happy to murder white men- as they did when they bombed the USS Liberty to try and get the US to nuke Egypt- or when they got the US to invade Iraq for them, as they are any other human being on earth. Brownlee is a traitor to his people.
Seems a bit stupid. At least its given the professional victims somethings to moan about.
Remember New Zealand & apartheid Israel have a connected history and that “British Imperialism” wonder why it’s so easy for pakeha settlers govt support for this white settler colony making spurious claims of being indigenous to the M.E. when their ancestors are from europe.
Would it be appropriate to just have an annual Mufti day!
Banning the keffiyah is the right move. Many countries have done so. It’s a symbol of solidarity with a genocidal terrorist group condemned by our Gov’t and numerous others.
name the country’s scabby?
The greedy, murderous, arrogant and conceited Israelis and their agendas spread like a yeast infection. Even to here, in our beautiful AO/NZ it causes dis-ease and conflict.
Oh, and by the way. Fuck Big Jizz brownlee. He was a bully thug wood work teacher. He supports the old adage; Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach. He’s the kind of worthless lying prick who should never, ever be allowed to go anywhere near our politics and yet there he sits, like Jabba The Circus Tent.
“Jabba the Hutt was one of the galaxy’s most powerful gangsters, with far-reaching influence in both politics and the criminal underworld. There were no second chances with Jabba, something Han Solo would find out — though the slug-like alien would ultimately fall victim to his own hubris and vengeful ways.”
Let’s hope so.
Here’s something you might like to but to put on your bedside table @ Gaby-Gasbaggy?
https://www.previewsworld.com/Catalog/JUL229039
No human-run nation has banned the keffiyeh, zionist. You will never have a nation.
genocidal terrorist group?
– there is only one. The Zionist agenda since day one. Backed by the imperialist nations. Israel was created as their bitch in the Middle East, so the antisemites could get the Jews out of Europe and keep the Arbs down. Typical imperialist “democracy making”.
for sure Paul
Anyone in a Necktie should get the chop too!
Heeeres Gerry..!Wikipedia: ” A Roman Catholic, he attended St Bede’s College where he twice failed to gain University Entrance.[6] ”
So he was too stupid for University but there he sits as speaker of the house.
Sooo education is #1 for getting any decent job White Cell?
What about blowing it all on drugs and fast cars….that count too?
Brownlee isn’t a bankrupt, like you!!
Piss off back to mother england Im right ,,,, and take those other low grade Pommy dickheads gaby & Andrew with you ,,, that would be a good day getting rid of three pommy racist dregs like you lot are …
And when back ‘home’ you could take turns sucking Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon aka Tommy Robinsons cock ….
You three right-tards would love to guzzle his jizz ,,, as it’s PURE racism ,,, and you slurp that up.
“Tommy Robinson” Is an sraeli Asset, Not an “English Patriot” https://youtu.be/rxhUb0bzchQ
*****************************************************8
NActFirst ‘Law & Order’? ,,,, Not when it comes to Israel and themselves. …….
So if education isn’t # 1 for getting a job retard, why is your lord emphasizing it tighty righty?
The G Brownlee in that photo wouldn’t look out of place with a scantily dressed Princess Leia chained to the seat in which he sits. “This is your last chance Jabba”
Will the Free Speech Union look to protect Freedom of Expression for keffiyeh wearer MPs in their work place?
Is a letter to the speaker already being written?
Nah, they exist to protect zionists like Rob Berg and Brenton Tarrant.
I’m happy for the Greens to wear their keffiyehs… but only every 2nd day… every other day they must wear Indian Feather Headresses to show solidarity with the oppression of indigenous native north American first-people.
But the Native Indians of America aren’t being bombed indiscriminately different scenario dude
People in Kyiv are but you support that.
Dude.
Free Russia.
PC.not rocket science and hate sounding like a scratch record or trying to educate a layman but the Ukrainians along with NATO started this fiasco. It’s not rocket science nor a conspiracy that “Viktor Yanukovych” govt a pro-russian Ukrainian president was overthrown in order to expand NATO towards Russia border. Simple really!
Bullshit. And I know more about Ukraine than you ever will. Let me know when you can locate it on a map.
PC, woop dido, good on you for knowing more about Ukraine but you have to concede that ‘Victoria Nuland’ was the architect of overthrowing democratically elected Ukraine govt “Viktor Yanukovych” from power in 2014 not a hidden secret all recorded for the history books shame on her imo.
No I don’t need to concede anything, least of all the usual talking points from the “I hate the West” play book.
You know nothing of the people that live there, their history or the events that have shaped that country over the past 20 years.
So please. I appreciate your efforts to help educate this lay man, but I think I’ll survive.
Free Russia
PC, So Kyiv is Russian and always has been I mean plenty of Ukrainian russian speaking population that voted to become part of Russia I mean they’re both Slavic peoples and share commonality culturally
Wow. Thanks for that. Do you want to let the people their know that they’re Russian or shall I? You sound like the bigger expert so maybe it’d come better coming from you.
Oddly enough everyone I know there hates Russia, but I’ll take your word for it.
Once again I truly appreciate the education on that part of the world.
Oddly enough that the people you meet or know they certainly don’t speak for all Ukrainians
Stephen I’m curious. How many Ukrainians or Russians do you know?
Russia is increasingly free of zionists. An example to the world.
It’s increasingly free of free speech as well, so I’m sure that suits your utopia. And of course for you the homophobia there is another bonus.
How about Putin giving Modi that medal though right? I guess old Vlad doesn’t like Muslims either. Oh wait – is that another one of your examples to the world?
PC, Islamophobia is a western trait however christian nations have been the over all instigators of human misery globally. Christian nations were the genesis of anti-Semitism culminating in the genocide of Jews in europe. These are europeans abhorrent behavior towards people of different values, beliefs and the most important issue being the color of someone skin.
Islam is a religion not a race. Educate yourself.
Yip islam a religion like a jew
And National and Act can wear their night wear, white sheets with holes cut out for their eyes.
I wonder how many of you actually read the article!
It is not MPs who are not allowed to wear all these things.
It is those going into the public gallery, you have always had to hand in: any bags you have, any scarves you have, any hats! End of Story.
Lighten up Michelle
Trevor is the pakeha that dog whistles “Kettle calling the pot black”, He uses the racist label when there wasn’t any racism spoken about but for the person’s personal experience
Brownlee only knows one language… S.M.O.R.G.A.S.B.O.A.R.D.
A woman in Berlin has been convicted for chanting “From the river to the sea” because it is a call for genocide of the Jewish people. The Germans understand these things.
The Germans will always suffer from endless guilt about they did to the jews, gays, disabled etc. etc.
The cultural appropriation should be allowed to continue it lowers the credibility of those who do it.
Blah blah blah and notably very poor grammar.
Clothing, what a dress dominant, no, jist our flags are right, other pins some around human care also, party seats in the house dominate, some shame, others.
