I can’t find a website or even a facebook page for them.
It claims the current tensions did not start on 7 October with the Hamas attack in Israel.
Well it certainly kicked off the latest round
Does anyone actually care what New Zealand thinks? If New Zealand cares so much they can start taking more people in. From what I understand New Zealand is one of the few countries that takes more quota refugees than asylum seekers. That means they take in less asylum seekers than the UN mandated quota of refugees. The UN quota is 1500 per year so their total intake per year is less than 3000 people.
I wouldn’t say New Zealand is xenophobic, but they are extremely restrictive on immigration, asylum seekers, and refugees. I play a lot of Path of Exile which is based out of New Zealand and they’ve stated that to get a job there you have to move to New Zealand because New Zealand law prohibits companies from hiring from outside of New Zealand unless the company can prove that the needed job can’t be filled by a New Zealander.
The standard of living in New Zealand is fairly high, but it’s mostly because they are NIMBY and I Got Mine.

It didn’t start with October 7th, Hamas has fired thousands of rockets at Israel and sent over plenty of suicide bombers before that. October 7th is just when Israel gave up pretending the cease fires actually worked.
It started when the colonial state of Israel was forced upon the people living in the area.

Fuck, no.
No ethno-state ever has to exist.

Israel is not all Jewish people, so it’s existence as a state does not change the living circumstances for Jewish people across the world.
As for a solution, no one has the easy fix and it’s a difficult road a head as you’ll see from any post-colonial country. I can say that the process can never start while one side is unfairly oppressed and murdered however.

Actually, it started when the Romans kicked all the Jews out and to spite them renamed the land of Israel to Roman Palestina.
That is such a warped view on history.
Even Herodotus was referencing the region as Syria Palaestina, 500 years prior before the Romans merged two provinces together.
Palestine/Syria was always the name, Judea was only ever a tiny fraction of that land.
As for the Romans kicking everyone out (realistically they murdered/enslaved most), well no shit. We all have stories of the Romans doing that to our ancestors as well, the Romans and every other empire in history are famously shitty.
Actually, it started when ooga booga stole his best friend’s favorite rock.
They’ve been feuding over it ever since.
October 7th is just when Israel gave up pretending the cease fires actually worked.
I’m sorry, what? You mean October 7th is when Hamas was wildly successful in their attack vs. all the previous times?
Yes, after once again breaking the ceasefire with a barrage of rockets for the umpteenth time.
