After insinuating Chloe was an antisemite, ACT double down and accuse Nanaia Mahutaof it as well…
Mahuta Must Explain Moral Failing On Last Day
“Documents released by the Israel Institute of NZ appear to show a final moral failing by Nanaia Mahuta that casts shame on behalf of all New Zealand,” says ACT Deputy Leader and Foreign Affairs spokesperson Brooke van Velden.
“When Hamas began attacks on Israel, Mahuta was advised by MFAT that she should tweet:
‘Aotearoa New Zealand [flag] unequivocally condemns rocket and terror attacks from Gaza into Israel and calls for their immediate cessation. With a high risk of escalation, the protection of civilians, and upholding of international humanitarian law is essential.’
“Mahuta rejected this advice, instead tweeting:
‘Aotearoa New Zealand [flag] is deeply concerned at the outbreak of conflict between Israel and Gaza. We call for the immediate cessation of violence. The protection of all civilians, and upholding of international humanitarian law is essential.’
“She was later overruled by Prime Minister Chris Hipkins, and issued a stronger statement more in line with the original advice from MFAT.
“Mahuta had a clear option to denounce barbaric aggression but chose not to. Why? She needs to explain these actions on her last day as Minister. She owes New Zealand that much.
…surprise, surprise.
Israeli war crime apologist Party ACT now see antisemites everywhere they look!
This is now a very clear tactic ACT are adopting that anyone who is critical of Israeli war crimes is an antisemite.
It’s an old tactic that works wonders and allows debate over Israeli group punishment to be gagged.
As 10 000 Gazan civilian deaths tower over us, as we stand in the shadow of an active war crime, as Israel kills as many civilians in one month of conflict that Russia has managed in almost 2 years of war – as that all happens, ACT is playing games of semantics to insinuate anyone not demanding more war crimes is an antisemite!
Shame on ACT for using Fox News tactics to silence critics of war crimes and shame on the rest of us for allowing them to do it!

ACT the champions of free speech only because the rich have more money to campaign with and to send their acolytes around the world to promote their climate change denialism, and peddle right wing natural order psycho babble.
And their puppet FSU wet the bed only when told to and thus will not defend the free speech rights of left wing critics of police, the Five Eyes security surveillance state or Zionism. Nor question those trying to silence the HRC and the rights of the indigenous people under the Tiriti.
Trying to silence critics of Zionist Likud with claims of hate speech, maybe they should make a complaint with the HRC.
ACT, like the Israelis and Zionists, see the Palestinians as subhuman vermin, fit only for extermination.
Classic projection from Brooke to impress her masters, AND from the supposed free speech party. Her social media profile probably has a flag for the little guy Ukraine AND the big guy Israel, what does she stand for exactly? Parroting any critique of Israel as racist is like saying all Jews are mass murdering religious fanatics who want to steal all your crypto. Brooke is making the world less safe.
I’d choose Israel over extremist islamic death cults any day
What a cop out. What the fuck do most of the Palestinians being blown to bits have to do with death cults?
You know there are elements in the Israeli govt that are just like the Islamists (anti gay, want women to cover their heads, puritanical, etc).
Palestinians would throw your beloved trans folk off buildings in a heartbeat and yet your very mum on that but apoplectic with everybody who doesn’t validate their delusion.
Yeah I’m sure those kids being bown up are Islamic extremists
All these documents show is that New Zealand is a front for Zionist extremism. The government needs to make it clear to Zionist extremists that New Zealand is not their fucking country. But we won’t get that because Zionists are now the government.
Expect New Zealand media over the next three years to be filled with press releases direct from Israel.
Billionaire-funded ACT shitting on Mahuta for illegal word use is as low as it gets.
I think that ACT will throw around accusations of anti-Semitism a lot. They want to have a referendum which will create a tonne of division, and if he can try to have voices in the arguments that are to come, silenced or “cancelled”, with accusations of anti-Semitism, all the better. The more shit posting and trolling he does, just distracts from the shit he is actually trying to do.
D Seymour is going to accuse anyone with a media presence anti-Semite. He knows that when he starts trying to get his referendum going, he is going to be facing a lot of criticism, and he will be able to say, “N Mahuta is an anti-Semite, therefore she is racist and her argument is null and void”. It is childish, boring, and oh so fucking predictable.
