So I guess you're from the US right? I'm not and I find that to be a really basic argument and it's false. I've met and spent time amongst many Palestinians in my country, Aotearoa. They are warm and kind. They meet with and share meals with Jewish folk. Maybe go and meet some more people.

Rana, Youssef and Samuel are in Jordan! They have their passports but no possessions. They are in a hotel that they are funding themselves... no taxpayer money is helping them. ❤️💚🖤

The scarf is a keffiyah and has hundreds of years of history behind it. The Palestinians and their supporters do not have lose their history and culture in order to survive.

Yup, people had done so before I saw it (and the post had only been up for 22 minutes!)

Thank you Paul. I've been following Bridge's misogyny since his time in breakfast tv. He has always been demeaning to female politicians but especially Chlöe. He has seemed joyful in his bile ridden rants, often teaming up with Seymour to try and discredit her. He's a woman hating hack.

That's an excellent insight. Totally agree.

They deserve it but the Palestinians deserve it more. Shine the light on them, as Greta would say.

It's sickening. It will blow over in a few days but it's so gross to be anywhere online or near media today. We should be listening instead to Greta talking about the genocide but instead we're distracted by this faux outrage created by the instigators of hate.

This was just put on Facebook by NZ First, absolutely escalating the situation. There's men on there threatening harm to Chlöe. bsky.app/profile/veba...

Look at this bullshit from NZ First and the kind of comments it incites!

Meme from NZ First. Suggesting Chlöe encourages smashing windows and causing harm to winston's dog.

Nice. We still need to try and it also helps build community for when elections come around.

So well said. I've been thinking about exactly this. His huge house in the most expensive part of Tāmaki Makaurau comes from taxpayer money. His gin and tonics at the bars along Ponsonby Rd... same. Who lives in the real world again?

Unfortunately number 10 on the govt's to do list this quarter: pass the Regulatory Standards Bill
Why bother having submissions and a select committee if it's a foregone conclusion?

Always blaming #WOMEN for #MALEVIOLENCE.

A MAN was arrested for breaking a window at #WinstonPeters' home.

Not #ChloéSwarbrick. Not #AcaciaO'Connor.

LET THAT SINK IN.

The incident happened yesterday evening at the Foreign Minister's home in Auckland.

I'm so angry about this today. The absolute injustice of the media saying some ill- disciplined dickhead is the responsibility of Chlöe and that her rhetoric causes hatred. She talks about humanity and caring for people. They point their fingers in hate every day and the media ignore it. 😡

Yes, the man that started the false allegations against Benjamin Doyle was a member of NZ First...a member of Winston's party. Did Winston get held to account for that?

What a disgusting interview from Bridge! An absolute bully, who told falsehoods about Chlöe's behaviour. She has not encouraged any violence, her rhetoric is always in support of humanity. Look at any Winston Peters or Seymour post and you will see anger, nastiness, lies and name calling.

Victoria 💚 🧡 @vebate.bsky.social · 1d

Yes, thanks! I'm thankful they will be released. Peters has been careless with his words about NZ citizens doing. That he doesn't believe they were doing the right thing during an illegal genocide in which all states are compelled to act, speaks volumes about his lack of integrity.

Because I never look at Winston Peters' social media, I was gobsmacked by that post demeaning Chlöe and the whānau of the captured flotilla crew. It was full of absolute lies, esp about her protesting outside his house. She is also more aware of the real world than him, helping street whānau daily.
