When America claims ‘far left’ terrorism they mean anyone critical of Israel’s obscene war crimes that technically border on genocide
Genocide Cheerleader and ACT MP Simon Court will be excited…
New Zealand will be represented at a meeting of foreign officials in Washington DC this week, which the US State Department intends to have a focus on addressing “far-left” terrorism.
The summit, to be hosted by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, has raised the eyebrows of several foreign representatives, who anonymously told the Washington Post they were unsure why they had been invited, as left-wing terrorism wasn’t considered a high-priority threat in their countries.
Following reporting in the US of about 60 countries being invited to the meeting, the Heraldthis week asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) whether New Zealand would be in attendance and the purpose of being there.
A spokesperson today confirmed New Zealand had been invited and would be represented by Daniel Mellsop, the deputy head of mission at the country’s embassy in Washington DC.
“This will allow us to hear from Secretary Rubio and other senior US administration figures on their counterterrorism focus,” they said.

When America says, ‘far-left’, what they really mean is anyone who criticises Israel.
The Right will manufacture anyone critical of Israel’s war crimes as antisemitic and portray that as ‘far-left’.
Israel this week passed deplorable laws…
Netanyahu buys political loyalty with controversial legislation ahead of election
The most politically charged element of the package was legislation that enshrines the mass evasion of ultra-Orthodox, or Haredi, youth from military service. While Israeli law requires all 18-year-olds to serve, ultra-Orthodox men have long been exempted under historic arrangements the Supreme Court has repeatedly struck down.
The draft-related laws are only one piece of a broader coalition trade-off. Ultra-Orthodox parties supported several of Netanyahu’s own priorities, including legislation curbing the authority of the attorney general, a key component of the government’s broader judicial overhaul. The measure could allow the government to override legal interpretations and potentially reopen efforts to remove Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara – an attempt blocked by the Supreme Court so far.
A separate bill overhauling broadcasting regulation, which critics say expands government influence over the media and threatens the freedom of the press, also passed this week, as did legislation expanding gender-segregated academic programs. The latter drew sharp denunciation from universities and women’s groups, who argue it excludes women, undermines equality and threatens academic standards.

What on earth are some of our MP’s thinking? Are they so stupid as to believe NZ matters to the large countries like the USA, Russia, etc. Wake up you FOOLS. We’re just a tiny minnow of 5.3m people at the bottom of the world, but trying to keep up with the big boys! It’s so embarrassingly obvious we are fast becoming the “joke” of the world. They will be asking who the hell is Simon Court? All the USA want from us is more money because Donald has already got through most of it with his pettiness, knee-jerking behaviour and absolute inane stupidity. Wake up NZ. Our job is to look after our lovely country, keep its people safe, employed, fed, housed, and educated. We also need to care for our enviromental footprint, land, water, air quality etc. A pretty big task, so get your hugely inflated egos back into their boxes and get on with saving NZ! It’s not being selfish, it’s being realistic! Already Luxon is so enarmored by his own image, every time he attempts to run with the big boys, he becomes the laughing stock of the whole world. Of course he can’t see this but there’s a whole lot he can’t see because he’s too lazy to do the hard yards, i.e. anything more than another photo-shoot! NZ needs to remove itself from the cruelty and actions of countries like Israel, Russia and the USA. The sooner this CoC-up is gone, the sooner we can get back to normality.
