RE: New Zealand Stands Up to Israel, Unafraid of Consequences for Supporting BDS

in #news6 years ago (edited)

Now if only our pathetic bunch here across the Tasman sea would grow a pair and do the same. Then again, the last Prime Minister to do that was Kevin Rudd (Labor). He kicked out a few Israeli diplomats for using Australian passports to conduct assassinations, and managed to survive, but was then ousted after not pledging support for the vile and inhumane Israeli operation (against the Gaza Strip open air prison) Cast Lead. He didn't condemn it, but his lack of support seemed the final straw, and suddenly we had PM Julia Guillard (Labor). And we know the unhealthy influence that the lobby held over Guillard from former Labor NSW Premier Bob Carr.
