Always interesting to read that the governments who send out this statement that NZ doesn't want to join, are themselves complicit, via their warm diplomatic contacts, trade and arms deals with Israel, in the situation they call "appaling."
I haven’t been following the ins and out of all this but John Tamahere has a history of manipulative horrible bullshit so I’m inclined to believe Kapa-Kingi on this one.
A useful aspect to a completely unambiguous fascist gesture is that you can use it to gauge which news media you can trust to call a Nazi a Nazi, which will obfuscate things with layers of "both-sides" and which will be regurgitating propaganda.
