Jesus wept – who knew Business Desk inside NZME were such genocide pimps???
Startups, sanctions and survival: Israel’s next test
As New Zealand weighs up a historic decision on recognising Palestine as a sovereign state, Israel, long celebrated as the “startup nation”, finds its legendary innovation engine tested as never before. War, political turmoil and shifting alliances have cast doubts on whether Israel can still claim its title as the world’s most dynamic tech hotbed. Yet, for influential voices at the coalface, such as Startup Nation co-author Saul Singer and NZ-born, Tel Aviv-based venture capitalist Ben Weiss.
…who knew Business Desk were such war criminal apologists?
The reality is that the economic toll of the war may cost Israel an estimated $400 billion in lost economic activity over the next decade and it clearly threatens Israel’s economic future.
For Israel, 90% of the economic shock will come from indirect effects: reduced investment, slowing productivity growth and labor market disruption.
Israel had 4.5% growth before the Gaza war and this has shrunk to a mere .3%, seeing as Netanyahu requires eternal war to keep from ever being held account judicially and electorally, it is more important now than ever before to boycott the Israeli Economy and all sporting and cultural connections.
Thanks to this hard right Government’s appalling cowardice and fawning over Zionists by refusing to recognise Palestine, the war criminal Israelis are going to send an Israeli politician to THANK NZ for supporting their Genocide!!!
Haskel, in an interview with genocide denier Sean Plunket on his radio show The Platform last month said she’d like to visit New Zealand in October saying “We want to thank the New Zealand government for its support over the last two years.”
Comrades, we must light a protest against these war criminals coming to NZ that will terrify the genocide out of National, ACT and NZF!
We must rise up as one against these war criminals.
Now is the time to boycott Israel’s economy as it drowns in its own war crimes, demand all sporting codes throw Israel out and remove all Israelis from any cultural participation.
Netanyahu is murdering more Palestinians by the day and Trump is enabling him.
Our Government’s pathetic cowardice and Zionist apologist position on Israel’s war crimes and genocide must never, ever be forgotten.
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.
Our Government’s decision was correct.
Bob the first – Correct…NZ Government could not support Hamas and Israel. Israel has previously offered Palestinians a two-state solution — the Palestinians said no because they want it all.
Would sir like a side of dismembered children with his genocide order?
Meh, it gives Minto something to do, have a protest where the Israeli minister is.
It’s nice to have a wee hobby like Minto has I guess.
It should be noted that Business Desk’s Peter Griffin (yes, that is his real name- no, he is that stupid, but he’s not as good hearted as the Family Guy character) has been the recipient of a Harkness Fellowship, a US soft power influence operation intended to subvert national loyalties of citizens of Commonwealth countries.
He also took at least one trip to ‘israel’ fully paid for by the propaganda ministry of that ‘nation’. Fun fact- while he disclosed that this was paid for in an article on his own website, he didn’t on articles he wrote for RNZ during the same period.

What you say needs to happen, although reading the pathetic excuses offered by those on Stuff who support the decision not to recognise the Palestinians it is going to take a lot of effort to remove the ‘Israel is good’ mantra that the MSM have pushed for generations along with the common view that Literal Israel is some sort of answer to prophecy held by many Christians.
Any real Bible-believing Christian hates the zionists. Yes, there are some deceived fake christians, but they are far outnumbered by zionist pedophiles pretending to be Christians or even Muslims (like the rats of the Saud regime).
The religious base their life on belief and magic rather than laws, ethics and reality. You sometimes see a mentally ill person on the news saying they killed because the voice in their head told them to. At least the mentally ill person has an excuse for their murderous act, they’ve lost the plot. But with the Israelis, I mean, purposefully exposing an unknown innocent child to an explosive device disguised as a pager. Truly demonic, beyond sick in the head. And our foreign minister peters is fully up for it yeah? He wants terrorism to be his legacy?
Appalling but not surprizing. NZ right-wing govt under John Key helped the apartheid state with its “greater Israel project” training Al Qaeda (ISIS) civil defense team the infamous White Helmets who only worked alongside Al Qaeda (ISIS) never helping the wider Syrian population. Last week the new self-proclaim Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa aka Al Jolani visited the US UN general assembly sitting down and talking to US diplomats and ex war criminal General Petraeus who was one of the top brass to help create this deadly cult killers to help take out disposed Syrian leader Basha Al Assad in December 2024.
