Ok.
Compare what ACT said about Gaza…
ACT’s Simon Court accused MPs of bandying around “Hamas propaganda”, described Chlöe Swarbrick’s description of the situation in Gaza as “hallucinating outrage”, and intimated that the UN agency UNRWA was “enabling terrorism”.
…now compare what Chloe said…
“I will reiterate my call for the government to pick up our Unlawful Occupation of Palestine Sanctions Bill and to sanction Israel for its war crimes. If we find six of 68 government MPs with a spine, we can stand on the right side of history”.
…now tell me Zionist Apologist Simps don’t own NZs Parliament!
Firstly, ACT MP Simon court is a disgrace to this country’s mana for attempting to smear anyone criticising Israel’s genocide as a Hamas propagandist. I’d call Simon a cunt, but he lacks the depth and warmth.
Secondly, Chloe was well within her rights to criticise National because they are too weak to tell ACT, NZ Jewish Council and Israel Institute of NZ
REMEMBER this isn’t about ACT or Chloe, this is about Israel butchering Palestinian Civilians at a rate so deplorably high that it amounts to a fucking war crime genocide!
REMEMBER David Seymour had the audacity to claim Chloe was…
…yet David was the one who literally tried to drive a tractor up the stairs of Parliament.
REMEMBER ‘Spineless’ has been used over 60 times according to Hansard yet no one was likened out for the whole week over that!
Compare what ACT said and what Chloe said over Gaza and tell me Zionist Apologist Simps don’t own NZs Parliament!
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
Regardless of what you think of Swarbrick, David Seymour is just a detestable little shit and Simon Court is a nut job.
but chloe is far worse so whats your point?
Trumpet your problem is that Chloe is a young, intelligent woman and it scares the bejesus out of you and Brownlee.
+
Spot on point Stevie.
The right are shitting bricks with the younger generation not putting up with bullcrap.
Being far worse at supporting the genocide in Gaza than the act muppets who probably have wet dreams over the situation is a high recommendation for Chloe although I’m surprised that you have the intelligence to notice.
No Chloe is not worse. She’s not even. in the same league when it comes to being an annoying waste of oxygen
See as Trumpet said, intelligent young women scares the shit out you so much..it comes out of your mouth
Martyn, I had dinner with my favourite niece last night. She is an over achieving lawyer and also a fairly left leaning politically. She made the point, in court the judge is the highest ranking person there, if the judge instructs her to do something, she doesn’t challenge him in open court, even if she disagrees with him, or she believes that he is wrong. She has the option of having a more forthright conversation in chambers.
The speaker of parliament is in the same position as the judge in his court. Chloe swarbrook openly defied “the speaker”, not Jerry Browne, Parliament.
I would be taken to task if I called my colleagues as “spineless” during a meeting or presentation at work, and I would have to apologise to them.
Yet spineless has been used in Parliament 60 odd times before with no objections. Sounds like you and your niece are more interested in the approval of your peers than defending truth.
Is that why we have a history of so many not guilty people locked up
your niece sounds like a loser. Brownlee deserves less respect than s**t on a shoe
No matter what you think of Brownlee, he is the speaker of the House. Disrespecting the speakers instruction to apologise to the house, is similar to disrespecting a judge in his court.
As someone once said, Captain Sobel, you salute the rank, not the man.
Oh fuck off
Cool story bro…
Meanwhile, you can read the details of how Brownlee made it up as he went along and needed to invent new rules to cover his fat ass.
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/thehouse/570198/spine-and-punishment-a-review-of-swarbrick-v-brownlee
I’m sure your “relative” wouldn’t tolerate a judge who did the same in court.
Bear in mind, Brownlee is a failed woodworking teacher, who wanted to shove an elderly man down the stairs because he didn’t like him talking

Who completely botched the Christchurch rebuild and enabled all sorts of fraud and corruption.
Who barged through airport security.
Who couldn’t take criticism following the Kaikoura quakes.
Who only has the job as Speaker because his Christchurch Tory electorate had had enough of the useless prick.
And probably can’t contest another electorate without stroking out.
He doesn’t sound like a balanced and reasonable individual at all given his patterns of behavior.
Now, care to revisit your defence of the “Eater of the House”?
Tell your niece she is not supposed to deepthroat the boot.
The word “spineless”, which Chloe did not use, appears 61 time in Hansard records from 1954 to 1999.
There are many reasons why the general public despise lawyers. You just gave us all another one.
This is not a court room..its a debating chamber, and Brownlee is not a judge..what the fuck are on about..
I think zionits have been sniffing around AO/NZ for decades. It could explain where there are so many
half arsed, half cooked, fucked up ideas being hatched by the day to enrich the few as they shit where they eat.
brownlee should be sacked btw. He’s a dangerous bully and should be kept well away from our politics.
As for seymour at peak bullshit. He’s another one that should join brownlee outside in the gutters where they belong.
The arrogant little prick harps on about our lack of production continually. Would one of our 4th estate enquire of him as to what David has produced?
Only methane as far as I can see.
What is coming across so glaringly obvious is this government LACKS HUMANITY,
It seems for the Three Ringed Circus that is this Weak coalition government that keeping in the ‘good books’ with Donald Trump is reason why they are not doing anything about Sanctioning Israel for this Active Genocide.
Three National and ACT MPs come to mind in regards to how Weak and Nasty they are to HUMANITY. They are Brooke Van Velden and her comment about being amazed at the high value put on saving lives when COVID hit our shores.
The other is Judith Collins who whilst once leader of National expected the low income NZ workers to pay out their OWN pockets for the COVID vaccines.
And the third is Simon O’connor who posted in regards to the Overturning of the Roe v Wade Right to Abortion was curtailed in the US that the event was a “Good Day”.
You mentioned about Simon Court comment which also makes me question whether he has or possesses a Human Bone in His body??!!!
And Spineless Seymour about Chloe’s actions by referring it as “Peak Theatrics” comes across as him belittling a female who is making a very valid and rational statement. But then Seymour does seem to be very Misogynistic and I pity the intended wifey that will have to live with him.
Terrorist-loving simps in parliament are so deluded they think they can actually influence foreign countries with their shenanigans. There, fixed it for you. Oh, and someone should tell Chloe to stop wearing her rape rag. Bad look.
We tend to not publish some of Gaby’s most disgusting and despicable posts, they always ‘yawn’ at the list of Palestinians killed, injured and imprisoned that TDB publishes daily and a lot of their posts are feral and racist zionist venom, but we’ve let this comment through because we think it’s important readers appreciate just how crass and vile Zionist apologists really are. Once this genocide is over, we must all decide as citizens of conscience whether we want to shun Zionists or pretend they didn’t do what they did. Let Gaby help you make your mind up.
Hate speech shouldn’t be given a platform. It seems like posters like Gaby, Zelda et al say hateful shit to get a response. Don’t publish it.
Thanks for the comedy relief the gab that keeps on amusing us!
Gaby every word you utter helps the Palestinian cause.
We can judge people by the enemies they make and you, Zelda, Ann E and Sammy are priceless allies of Palestinians and dissenting Israelis.
Dear Stevie
Tal here, solidarity coordinator at Refuser Solidarity Network. A new public letter has just been published by dozens of current and former officers in Israeli military intelligence. These are not fringe actors. They are veterans of Israel’s most elite intelligence units, and they are refusing. Refusing to serve a government they call anti-democratic. Refusing to take part in a war they describe as political, not defensive. Refusing to obey orders they say are morally bankrupt and strategically disastrous. Now is the time to support them and others like them. Your donation today will help us provide this wave of refusers with the tools, mentorship, and infrastructure to get organized, build capacity, and become independent organizers in a lasting anti-war movement.
Support Gaza War Refusers
“When a government acts out of foreign interests, harms its citizens, and leads to the killing of innocent people, the orders it issues are manifestly illegal, and it is our duty not to obey them. … This is a war intended to maintain the rule of Netanyahu, Smotrich, and Ben Gvir, and we refuse to take part in it. We can no longer serve Netanyahu’s war for political survival. Some of us will refuse publicly, through statements in the media and on social networks, and many others will do so in other, non-public ways–’gray refusal’.”
This letter marks a rupture in the military consensus. These are people who know the system from the inside: analysts, field researchers, linguists, tech experts, and cyber operatives. And they are saying what many understand but few dare to say: This war is not about rescuing hostages or defending Israeli civilians. It is about preserving a collapsing government.
Support Gaza War Refusers
They are exposing the truth. That the return to combat was a political decision to sabotage a hostage deal. That the hostages who have died were not killed by Hamas, but by Israeli bombs. That the war is not only unjust, but illegal. That refusing to follow orders is not only a right, it is a duty in the face of mass starvation and genocide of the Palestinian people.
Some of these refusers are going public. Others are refusing quietly, behind the scenes. All of them are entering dangerous terrain, legally, socially, and emotionally. This is where we come in. We know that public refusal is only the beginning. What happens afterward is just as important. We help refusers become organizers, provide legal defense, press strategy and capacity-building, connect new refusers with movement veterans, and turn them into a political force that lasts beyond the news cycle.
Support Gaza War Refusers
Your donation makes this work possible. These intelligence officers took a small risk. What comes next depends on what we build around them. Let’s meet this moment with everything we’ve got.
In solidarity,
Tal Marom

Off the keyboard and back on your knuckles Gaby!
No evidence of rape on October 7th Gaby.
It was all made up by the religious extremists from Zaka
How do you feel being a pawn for false allegations of sexual assault? Cheapened? Used? Obviously not ashamed.
The only terrorists in Palestine are the occupying forces and you’re a simp for people who would butcher you without hesitation.
Spineless is not strong enough to capture your moral bankruptcy.
You don’t have any friends do you? I bet even your cats hate you.
The keffiyeh is a traditional Arab garment, not a rag. There is not a single authenticated case of Hamas raping anyone. However there are numerous authenticated cases of IDF personnel raping women, men and children. If anything is a “rape rag” it is the flag of Israel.
I suspect Chloe and the Greens are being picked on because they’re offering a real alternative to the uni-good cop,bad cop party by having a wealth tax policy. That’s enough to freak out all the wealth hoarders mainly from the housing Ponzi capital gains game.
The main backer and enabler of Zionist atrocities is the U$$$ and particularly Trump. Don’t forget the despicable Congress gave mass murdering monster Netanyahu a standing ovation to the baby, child and woman butcher.
So we’re part of the U$ five eyes alliance meaning we go along with U$ disasters like Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan, Israehell and GAZA.
Power always attracts its sycophants, creeps and worshippers. Act, Seymour and Court are just the latest. They also hope for a pay-off $ wise.
Think of the growing number of people world wide who know Chloe Swarbrick was ejected from the New Zealand Parliament for supporting Palestinians.
Think of those Members of ACT, National and New Zealand First who unanimously voted to eject her. Not one dissension.
Chloe does well to call these people cowards.
100% Shadrach. Also notable is how they attack her with cheap shots about being egotistical (Young, Seymour) in the process belittling and denigrating and totally taking the focus off what she is actually saying and having the sheer strength and gumption to stand by her words. She is so brave and strong. She and Willy Jackson are my current political heroes.
I agree.
Just a tip – don’t be having a cup of tea while reading this piece!
Zionism, as a nationalist movement supporting the establishment and maintenance of a Jewish state in the historic Land of Israel, has had a significant impact on Western parliamentary systems and their interactions with related institutions. Here are some keyways it influences these dynamics:
1. Foreign Policy & Diplomatic Relations
Many Western parliaments (especially in the U.S., UK, Canada, and EU states) have strong pro-Israel blocs due to historical ties, lobbying efforts (e.g., AIPAC in the U.S.), and shared democratic values.
This can lead to bipartisan support for Israel, affecting resolutions on conflicts (e.g., Israel-Palestine), military aid, and diplomatic recognition.
Some left-wing and progressive parties, however, have grown more critical of Israeli policies, particularly regarding settlements and Gaza, leading to intra-parliamentary debates.
2. Domestic Political Divisions
Zionism can become a polarizing issue, especially where there are large Jewish and Muslim communities (e.g., UK Labour Party’s antisemitism crisis under Corbyn, or debates in France over “anti-Zionism” vs. antisemitism).
Right-wing parties often strongly align with Zionist positions, while some left/green parties support Palestinian rights, creating legislative gridlock on Middle East policies.
3. Institutional Influence & Lobbying
Pro-Israel advocacy groups work closely with lawmakers to shape legislation, leading to accusations of undue influence (e.g., debates over “dual loyalty” or foreign interference).
Conversely, pro-Palestinian activism (like BDS movements) has pushed some parliaments to debate sanctions on Israel, though many Western states have anti-BDS laws.
4. Free Speech & Legal Challenges
Some parliaments have struggled to balance support for Israel with free speech, as criticism of Zionism is sometimes conflated with antisemitism (e.g., IHRA definition controversies in the EU).
This affects parliamentary discourse, with some MPs cautious about condemning Israeli policies to avoid backlash.
5. Intelligence & Security Cooperation
Israel’s close ties with Western intelligence agencies (e.g., Mossad with MI6/CIA/FBI) mean parliaments often defer to executive branches on security matters, limiting oversight.
Conclusion
Zionism’s impact varies by country but often reinforces pro-Israel stances in Western legislatures, while also fueling partisan splits. The tension between supporting Israel and addressing Palestinian rights challenges parliamentary cohesion, especially as younger, more progressive lawmakers question traditional alliances.
Free Palestine
Chloe gets my vote next election
Personally, I think the Zionist should fuck of back to wherever they come from as we don’t need their rubbish and bullshit here in our county. Also, I noticed many of them (Zionist) are anti Maori another good reason for them to fuck of.
