Installing an Israeli Apologist like Dr Stephen Rainbow as Chief Human Rights Commissioner is a slap in the face to human rights in this country and must immediately be protested until he is forced to resign.
At a point when the IDF have directly killed over 40 000, when there are 10 000 bodies rotting under the rubble that haven’t been included in that number and there may be as many as 180 000 who have died from indirect consequences of Israel’s disproportionate war crime we are appointing an Israeli Apologist as Chief Human Rights Commissioner!
FFS.
Come on!
After the IDF got caught on CCTV raping a 13 year old Palestinian boy while in an Israeli torture camp, we are appointing an Israeli Apologist as Chief Human Rights Commissioner???
After the October 7 attack, the news media was aflame with allegations of systematic sexual assault by Hamas, including an explosive front-page New York Times story that galvanized support for Israel’s war on Gaza despite an already horrific civilian death toll.
But now, video has emerged that appears to show Israeli soldiers gang-raping a Palestinian detainee, and the major corporate news media has barely mentioned it.
In fact, this video is just the latest evidence that Israel has been systematically torturing Palestinian detainees, little of which has gained sustained attention from most major U.S. news outlets.
The Intercept has been exposing these abuses for months, but it’s never been more challenging to report from on the ground about Israel’s war on Gaza, which has killed at least 113 journalists so far.
This is an abomination.
Appointing an Israeli apologist as the Chief Human Rights Commissioner when Israel is actively conducting in real time an ethnic cleansing war crime is such a stain on our collective mana.
Doubling down, this hard right racist climate denying beneficiary bashing disabled abusing Government has also selected Free Speech Stormtrooper, Dr Melissa Derby…
Derby has previously been named as a member of the Free Speech Union.
In an April 2023 column by RNZ’s Mediawatch on protests around anti-trans rights activist Kellie-Jay Keen Minshull, also known as Posie Parker, it was reported that Derby “liked a tweet calling for [trans activist Shaneel] Lal to be “locked up” and retweeted one saying the “trans movement” cannot be tolerated in civil society.”
Derby has also appeared in a series of videos for the website The Common Room with titles like “Equity or Equality” and “Is the system stacked against some Kiwis?”
In the latter video, she asks, “If systemic racism is the cause for a disproportionate number of Māori experiencing poor outcomes, why don’t all Māori experience poor outcomes?
“In fact, on many measures, the vast majority of Maori perform perfectly well. How is this possible, if systemic racism is everywhere, causing poor outcomes?”
…to appoint such Culture War Grifters onto our Human Rights Commission is an affront to the values of that Commission.
It’s like appointing book burners to run the library.
The culture shock alongside the right wing legislative blitzkrieg being rammed through are inter generational and these appointments represent a mutilation of our Human Rights, not their protection.
What a sad day for NZ Human Rights.
It’s good news that we have a supporter of Israel as the Human Rights Commissioner. He will be a strong voice against antisemitism, especially from those on the left.
The National government needs to go further by implementing policies that purge antisemites from society. I would personally like them to be sent to a forced labour camp until their organs are needed.
The “antisemitism canard” that lost its true meaning with fuckheads like “Zelda” spraying this abhorrent accusation around when there isn’t any that warrants condemnation however “Islamophobia” is real remember the 51 muslims NZers murdered by a white dude in Christchurch?
You got it half right stephen. BOTH “antisemitism” and “Islamophobia” are rhetorical devices used to shut people up and prevent criticism of Jews in any way whatsoever on the one hand, and mass immigration (which happens to be significantly islamic in nature) on the other. Ultimately, criticism that people don’t like to hear is not synonymous with an irrational fear (which is what a phobia is), but that’s how it’s framed when the people with bad arguments who throw labels around and try to dismiss cannot respond. Thus, we can criticise Jews without wanting to put them in gas chambers (that’s another rhetorical canard, btw) or, express concerns about rapid demographic change and its consequences without wanting to shoot up a mosque.
What use would human organs be to you, given that you’re a tapeworm?
good point
tape worms are way above her on the value chain.
I would sugest the same punishment for the anti Maori brigade .
“Installing Israeli Apologist and Free Speech Stormtrooper onto Human Rights Commission undermines our collective human rights mana”
Well, that’s because the dirty zionists and their death squad IDF has it’s quislings seated here in readiness for their next conquest. Us.
What was that about an israeli intelligence unit getting squashed in down town Christchurch during the earthquakes again?
zelda. Your name would be a useful emetic.
“It’s good news that we have a supporter of Israel as the Human Rights Commissioner. He will be a strong voice against antisemitism, especially from those on the left.”
Spoken like a true fascist zelda. All puff and no guts. The only thing motivating you is your death-fetish. Get all leather’d up with a few images of dead Palestinian kids being wailed over by grieving mothers do you? Better get ready zelda, here comes Karma.
: the force generated by a person’s actions held in Hinduism and Buddhism to perpetuate transmigration and in its ethical consequences to determine the nature of the person’s next existence
” The National government needs to go further by implementing policies that purge antisemites from society. I would personally like them to be sent to a forced labour camp until their organs are needed.”
Classy.
Yes there were 5 Israeli mossad agents in CHCh at the time of the quakes one died and the other 4 were out of the country within hours and stolen nz passports were found in their van.
Yes Zelda. Are you a Nazi left over or just a fucking racist psycho.
What would you do with a coloured Jew. You would probably play the race card because you have that as your preferred option.
I would love to see your reaction if you needed a organ transplant but the only one available was from a Maori homosexual from Otara.
I would be hoping the doner had monkey pox
This COc accuses Maori of “practicing apartheid” but hasn’t taken meaningful measures against a state that is founded on this international crime in fact its doubled down it support for a state that rapes palestinians systemically even before OCT 7th.
Remember that Jews aren’t a race therein lies the propaganda that the zionist ideology have pushed and brainwashed the planet. Dr Stephen Rainbow also pushes this narrative from what I gathered on the Zionist website. There was another individual that thought similarly about jews “Adolf Hitler”
Free Palestine
Yes Judeaisim is a religion not a race .Palastinians are a race of people that live in palastine
There are no full blooded maori either Tipene, but everyone with 1/32, 1/64 or 1/128 diluted maoriness can claim their grants and hand outs.
At what stage does the ‘maoriness’ become enough for a handout or for one to claim to be a maori?
Just the feelz, or whatever the iwi decide…or what you decide, you sound like a born again tangata whenua with about 1/164 maori, yes, that sounds about right.
and what grants do maori get that pakeha cant .Just wait till the full force of the recent cuts take effect and see how many pakeha start whinging .After all they could sell some of the free land they have been living on for 200 years and pay their own way
Pakepakeha, I’m full-blooded My mother and father are full Maori your superiority complex is blinding you
You must be a rarity because a past Labour PartyMP Micheal Bassett has written that of the 17 percent who claim to be Maori all have more than 50 percent other DNA.
This is not said to belittle your claim and you have a right to be proud of all your heritage not just the Maori part. No part is better than the other .
Why would Stephen want to be proud of any ancestry other than Maori.
I am certainly not particularly proud of my English Great Grandfather who was a drunken remittance man who had large landholdings and pissed them away. He married a Maori lady as did his offspring. My Grandfather was equally as bad and if it wasn’t for my Maori grandmother I would think my father would have been just as bad. On the otherside my Australian grandfather was the black sheep of his family but we only found out about his deeds recently. They were totally suppressed by his wife and children. It is my Maori ancestors who have been the more useful contributors to my view of life and influenced my ability to be a useful member of society.
what % does your mate seymour have ,fuck me did not even know he was 0.0000.1% till a little while ago .If he did a DNA TEST he would find he is mostly from the hate race .
What could be more inclusive than an actual rainbow?
Is that name made up or is he on the spectrum?
A brilliant appointment: a man who is unafraid to express his opinions in the face of woke censorship and intimidation, but also a spokesman on the right side in the Israel/Hamas conflict. Our very own Douglas Murray. Huzzah!
but is he going to fix NZs human rights ,?after all that is what he is being paid to do as he is employed by NZ taxpayer not the IDF .While you are all going on about a few Jews kids here are being deprived of lunch at school and adults are being abused because they work for people who dont pay a living wage and then the land lord take 60% of the wage in rent .If you are female ,gay ,brown ,or old you are fucked under this government who even allow imigrants to be exploited by fellow imigrants .
Plus 1 to that.
Gaby probably knows that Brenton Tarrent is our ‘action man’ version of Douglas Murray …. https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/douglas-murray-mainstreaming-great-replacement-theory ,,, He’s certainly on Gabys side when it comes to Israels Zionist supremacy…..
Back to Gabys hero Douglas Murray ,,, who he likens Dr Stephen Rainbow to ….
“Douglas Murray, the weirdly acceptable face of the hard right, said that Britain needed a “toolbox approach to dealing with the enemy of Islamist extremism”, and that this would involve “people who you and I don’t like” but needed to deal with.”….
“For this was the week when, in Murray’s words, the people “you and I don’t like”, but need to deal with, falsely cast the killer of three children as an asylum seeker and a Muslim.”
…. “Vilifying Muslim communities
This was the week when Britain weathered the worst fascist insurgency since Cable Street, as mobs attempted to set fire to hotels housing migrants, attacked police with bricks, and now face long prison sentences.
Worse was to follow for the likes of Farage, Braverman and Murray. On Wednesday night, the very Muslim communities they had spent a lifetime vilifying as “no-go areas” stood up to the fascists and forced them off the streets. Palestinian flags were prominent among the ranks of these heroes.
Far from condemning this show of force as “vigilantism”, as Braverman and Murray might have wished, Metropolitan Police chief Mark Rowley praised the demonstrators, saying fears of disorder were abated due to the work of police and “a show of unity from communities”.”
Douglas Murray like Gaby is an example of British racist trash …. that he endorses Dr Rainbow is the best and most telling put down of his appointment you could get. https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/how-unholy-alliance-between-fascists-and-far-right-zionists-fuelled-uk-riots
Gaby, you are the absolute definition of woke censorship. The cry of antisemitism is the crème de le crème of cancellation.
QI (that’s ‘quite interesting’) looking at Rainbow’s bio history and ‘evolution’ if you can call it that.
Just another egotistical wanker wouldn’t be too far off the short description.
Labour cum Green cum Blue-Green cum gNat.
It’s probably an inevitable function of the POLS-MEERKATING-BIZZNISS tertiary study where everything and all becomes a market. (There is no such thing as a sussoighty).
The guy’s a bit of a wanker, but then he always was
Tonight’s 1 TV polls interesting .Luxon up in popularity and the Coalition in good heart.
That is without the drop in rates which has been great news.

Dr Rainbow is a strong supporter of Israel …. Stephen Rainbow as Chief Human Rights Commissioner is a bad bad sick joke.
“A new poll published at Israel’s Institute for National Security Studies has reportedly found that 65 percent of Israeli Jews oppose criminal charges for IDF troops accused of gang raping a Palestinian prisoner to the point of severe injury, ”
“Israel has seen demonstrations that have become known as “right to rape” rallies ever since the arrests, with protesters demanding the accused rapists be allowed to walk free without any consequences for their actions. ”
“Israel is a deeply sick society, with a deeply sick attitude toward rape. A 2011 poll published by Haaretz found that 61 percent of Israeli men don’t view forced sex with an acquaintance as rape, and that only seven percent believe marital rape is a thing.”
“. In 2022 The Jerusalem Post reported that 1,542 incidents of sexual assault complaints were received by the IDF in the year 2020, and that of these, only 31 indictments were filed.”
” Just like the ongoing mass atrocity we are witnessing in Gaza, this fondness for rape is just one of the many, many symptoms of the injustice and abusiveness that the state of Israel is founded on and built from.”
