NZ Defence Force deploys liaison officer to Israel
The NZ Defence Force has deployed a liaison officer to Israel, to help inform the government on next steps in the Gaza peace deal.
Defence Minister Judith Collins says the liaison officer will work from a United States-led Civil Military Coordination Centre, initially for six weeks.
She said it would act as a coordination hub for support to Gaza, monitor the implementation of the ceasefire agreement, and support the implementation of the 20-Point Peace Plan to end the war in Gaza.
“The deployment will improve New Zealand’s understanding of co-ordination efforts on the ground and enable us to better assess options for any potential future contributions to the centre or other initiatives in support of sustained peace in Gaza,” she said.
She said this would improve New Zealand’s understanding of efforts on the ground and enable a better assessment of future contributions to the centre, or other initiatives to support peace in Gaza.
Future deployments would be a decision for the government.
Why are we aiding Israel in any way shape or form with a liaison officer?
Add this to our refusal to recognise Palestine.
Add this to the realisation Rocket Lab’s has been putting up surveillance satellites for the Israelis with the Gen-3 BlackSky satellites.
Add to this that the Deputy Israeli Foreign Minister visited NZ this weekend to thank evangelical Christian freaks who empower them and the zionesik apologist groups who threaten everyone with anti-semitism for criticising Israel’s genocide and we are now in danger of being seen as an ally for war criminals.
We are on the side of genocide because this Government has no morality whatsoever.
Kiwis have cut their Jacinda off to spite their race to justify the way their post-Covid bitterness has been manipulated into agreeing to this.
For shame Kiwi.
For shame.
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.
Always back the winner in the contest.
There are no winners in genocide, not for the victims of genocide or the perpetrators.
No state found guilty of committing genocide has ever lasted.

40% of Israelis Say They Consider Leaving the Country. This Is What Keeps Them Here
Haaretz https://www.haaretz.com › Israel News
12 May 2025 — Nearly 60,000 Israelis left the country last year and didn’t return – more than twice the number in 2023. A full 81 percent were young people
Barak says that he prefers ‘to fight fascists,’ Riky is worried about life without Hebrew, and Meital fears loneliness abroad. Israelis share what’s keeping them in Israel – for now
Noa Limone, May 12, 2025
Nearly 60,000 Israelis left the country last year and didn’t return – more than twice the number in 2023. A full 81 percent were young people and families, often between 25 and 44 years old, the statistics bureau says. And the company Ci Marketing found that around 40 percent of Israelis still here are considering leaving……
” we risk being seen as an ally to genocide ”
There is no risk. All of our actions since 2023 and the silence while watching the torture and death of many people including starving children to death and welcoming the Israeli government representative with open arms we have shown the world where we stand and its not with the Palestinians. We are an ally of the Zionist state in all but name despite many Kiwis horror at our country support for Israel’s brutal persecution and killing of a entire race of people.
History will remember our cowardly appeasement to the American and Israeli governments.
We are the ally of those who fight genocide. The majority of Kiwis back Israel against the forces of depraved evil.
Maybe you should fuck off to Israel and join the IDF you fucking headcase.
The majority Gaby? Well there must still be a lot of misinformed individuals who haven’t worked out what a bunch of evil bastards the Israelis are. If you are righteous you don’t have to throw around millions buying people off and spreading misinformation. They are despicable.
Idiots like Hannah Tamaki who insist on supporting Zionists who mock their belief in Jesus, makes me wonder if they have been paid like other influencers or they haven’t bothered reading anything.
What Christoper Luxon, Judith Collins, Winston Peters, and Sir Peter Beck forget, is that the internet is immortal. Once something is up on the internet, it is there forever. Already every credible expert on the Holocaust in Europe and genocide studies, have concluded from the publicly available evidence, that Israel is committing genocide. This evidence is accumulating and mounting up, and as time goes by, this accumulation of evidence will accelerate, to catch up with and overtake the perpetrators and collaborators in this genocide.
This process has already started….

Classified U.S. report finds backlog of hundreds of possible human rights violations
https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/10/30/state-department-report-israel-gaza-human-rights-violations/
By John Hudson
A classified report by a U.S. government watchdog has found that Israeli military units committed “many hundreds” of potential violations of U.S. human rights law in the Gaza Strip that would take the State Department “multiple years” to review, according to two U.S. officials who relayed the details to The Washington Post.
What readers are saying:
The comments express strong criticism of the U.S. government’s handling of potential human rights violations by Israeli military units. Many commenters argue that the U.S. is complicit in these violations due to its support for Israel, and they express skepticism about the… Show more

I hope that Luxon, Collins, Peters and Beck feel a chill of fear run up their spines knowing that one day they will be held accountable.
Don’t leave John Key out.

Totally disgusting!
More wasted money – where is the money tree? Sure as hell isn’t within picking distance of the genuine needy out there! Shame Collins doesn’t go and sort this out personally – it would give us a break and her something better to do than lose valuable assets. And yes, it sends a horrible message to the rest of the world: [a] we are so far up the USA, and [b] our current CoC has no morals, scruples, or conscience. Sad state of affairs but typical, so not unexpected! And Ada it is not a contest – we ought to know better but sadly we don’t!
