Understanding Indigeneity
Allied Voices for Israel’s document: Understanding Jewish Indigeneity to Israel
Defrocking Decolonisation’s Priesthood
If you happen to be brown but don’t buy into the ideology, behold, you are actually white. The fact that the majority of Israelis are brown is irrelevant. They are still white, according to the dogma. One’s skin colour grants political advantage, but as it turns out, only for those on the Left who are not Jewish.
Indigenous Embassy Jerusalem Launched
On 1 February the Indigenous Embassy Jerusalem was launched at a formal event held at the Friends of Zion Museum in Jerusalem. Gil Haskel, Chief of State Protocol, announced the Indigenous embassy as the 100th embassy in Israel.
MEDIA RELEASE: Te Pāti Māori and South Africa’s case against Israel
South Africa’s accusations are baseless and an example of moral inversion, in which the real victims of a genocidal attack are accused of perpetrating genocide. By supporting Hamas, South Africa itself is in violation of the anti-genocide convention.
The Māori view on Palestine
Jackson, Ngarewa-Packer and Davidson certainly do not own the Māori view on Palestine - there is no monolithic Māori view on any subject, nor should there be. But they demean Māori by standing on the side of barbarism and depravity and by continuing to mislead their constituency.
MEDIA RELEASE: Te Pāti Māori co-leader Debbie Ngarewa Packer’s reckless statements
We call on Ngarewa-Packer to desist from misusing this painful Middle Eastern conflict for her own political purposes and from bringing shame on our people by aligning with a depraved and genocidal regime.
“Colonization” is a deeply flawed explanation for 7 October
Hamas’s goal, as stated in its charter, is to annihilate Israel, taking all the land "from the river to the sea," by means of uncompromising jihad. Hamas has pursued this goal unrelentingly, pouring millions of dollars into building a terrorist state, including a 500km sophisticated tunnel network.
New Zealand’s Yoni-come-latelies
To the extent it accurately reflects the wider Māori sentiment – and this point really needs to be hovered over – such an unapologetic abandonment of the Jewish state represents something of a historical swerve. Even before the establishment of New Zealand in 1840, relations between local Māori, who now account for around 17 per cent of the population, and the country’s Jewish community, which has never numbered more than 10,000 souls, have been notably good.
Whose Minds are Colonised?
Debbie Ngarewa-Packer’s infantile analysis and accusations reflect a wider determination to force Israel into a fashionable narrative manufactured in elite European universities. So, whose minds are being colonized here? My cousins in Israel must fight a demonic hatred, but its tentacles reach far – fed by complacency, arrogance and fashion.
Petition of Rev Dr Wayne Te Kaawa

Gaza and the world’s outrage
Dr Sheree Trotter discusses the complexity of the Gaza situation.
The Māori parallel to the Jewish experience
The situation in the region is both tragic and highly complex. It is a region that has a history, since time immemorial, of war and division. It fires passions of an unholy (and, sometimes, holy) nature. But it is the place of ahi kā for the Jews and always will be.
Māori-led Hui to support Israel
A week after the tragic event of 7 October, a hui was hosted by Māori leaders in the North to show support for Israel and the Jewish people in their time of mourning and trauma.
Māori leaders respond to Te Pāti Māori co-leader Debbie Ngarewa Packer
Māori leaders have issued a joint statement responding to the anti-Israel position expressed by Te Pati Māori.
EXPRESS YOUR SUPPORT FOR THIS STATEMENT
Te Pati Maori: A Response
“Reprehensible.” Dr Sheree Trotter responds to Te Pati Maori.
Joint Statement
We call on the Government of New Zealand to immediately:
Condemn outright, without any excuses or justifications, the actions by Hamas
To proscribe Hamas, and all parts of it, as a terrorist organisation
Support Israel’s right to defend itself and its people
Statement on Hamas Attack on Israel
As the details of the barbaric acts against Israelis become clear, the leadership of Hamas, the Iranian Regime, and the Hamas paymasters, the Qatari Regime, are guilty of carrying out and supporting a pogrom, and actually celebrating these unspeakable crimes.
Forget the Jews
Antisemitism globally is displaying an alarming upward trend, a trend that is coincidental with, and likely lubricated and accelerated by, increasing polarization within western style democracies. As is painfully obvious, the latter is a phenomenon from which Israel is not exempt.
David Bernstein on Woke Antisemitism
David Bernstein speaks about the ideological shift in western societies towards critical race theory or ‘wokeism’, which has accelerated antisemitism on the left.
Charles Small: Antisemitism in Higher Education
