A recent poll in Israel gives Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu only 27% support, which is not much above what Hippy Chippy was getting in NZ. The Likud Party is likely to win only 19 seats out of 120 in the Knesset, compared to the 32 seats it has now; that’s worse than Labour in NZ got.
A common joke among Palestinians these days is that Israeli leaders are emulating Arab leaders in previous Arab-Israeli wars, in terms of language, phony victories and unsubstantiated gains on the military front.
For example, while Israel was quickly pushing Arab militaries back on all fronts in June 1967, with full US-Western backing, of course, the leadership of Arab armies were declaring through radio that they had arrived at the “gates of Tel Aviv”.
Fortunes seem to have been reversed. Abu Obeida and Abu Hamza, military spokesmen for the Al-Qassam Brigades and the Al-Quds Brigades respectively, provide very careful accounts of the nature of the battle and the losses of advancing Israeli military forces in their regular, much-anticipated statements.
Do we sense a change in thinking and reflection by the Waikanae Watchers, I ponder. And, with respect, in publishing this article.
One must always be open to the truth, and the facts of the truth; not the truths concocted by politicians and the msm. I think we have experienced enough of such “truths” by the liebour lot and their “bought-and-paid-for-lackies” in the NEW ZEALAND msm.
Let us have open minds to the truth.
The biggest problem right now is the Biden/Blinken support for corrupt regimes that serve their interests.
Better hear the truth from a beautiful (and in character), incredibly courageous Muslim Arab woman who has grown up in a Jewish town in Israel. Her father and brothers fight in the IDF. There is so much lying going on – she speaks from the inside. Hear her out – you will find it compelling viewing.
Mercilessly shilling for Israel.
“Hamas destroyed the greenhouses in Gaza which had been built by the settlers”. Nope, barefaced lie, even the NT Times reported that they were demolished by the settlers before they left. https://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/15/world/middleeast/israeli-settlers-demolish-greenhouses-and-gaza-jobs.html
Is Israel an apartheid state?: “Israel is a strong, beautiful, multi-ethnic democracy”. That’s not what apartheid refers to. “Settlements are illegal under international law, but over the years, hundreds of thousands of Jewish settlers have moved to colonies built on stolen Palestinian land. The space for Palestinians is shrinking as settler-only roads and infrastructure slice up the occupied West Bank, forcing Palestinian cities and towns into bantustans […]”.
Israel does not bomb hospitals … ha ha.
No mention that Israel supports Hamas, in order to prevent a two state solution. https://www.jpost.com/arab-israeli-conflict/netanyahu-money-to-hamas-part-of-strategy-to-keep-palestinians-divided-583082
“The Christians will be next” (after the Jews). Plenty of testimony from Jews in the Middle East that Christians, Muslims and Jews largely lived in harmony for many years, until 1948. No mention that Christians in the state of Israel worry about vandalism from Jews, not from Muslims.
No mention of how the state of Israel was created, by a wave of terrorism from 1947 to 1949, destroying 500 villages, with an estimated 15,000 Palestinians killed, and 750,000 Palestinians displaced.
It is confirmed that Zionists broke the Acre siege by poisoning the water supply, and emboldened by this Jewish gangs set out to poison the water of other towns and villages. Settlers are still doing this on the West Bank today (when they’re not burning or stealing crops).
Like all Anglo-Saxon countries, NZ endorsed the brutal ethnic cleansing of Palestine in order to make a European state in the Middle East. However people in other countries are waking up, whereas New Zealanders are doubling down in support of mass murder and ethnic cleansing now. Most people seem to have found their inner Christian Zionist. It’s embarrassing.
