Well done, this govt.. & there's something I never thought I'd say!
Surely, this is what any civilised country would & should do - so why keep it quiet?

Quietly. So as to not upset Israel?

Well, seeing Trump and Netanyahu are best buddies, probably both.
I wish though this government had the guts of the Lange version. There is something very empowering about being the citizen of a country that stands up to bullies, and calls them out for who they are. This time though, instead of leading the world we are well down the line of those finally seeing the light.
Makes me sad, that does.

I fear that we are not so much seeing the light as not even seeing the dark of late

the payment should have been made on condition the hostages were released and hamas was eradicated
The verdict is in: Jacinda Ardern, Grant Robertson and their sidekick Chris Hipkins spent like drunken sailors, ignored official advice, and left our economy in tatters.

Netanyahu seems set to invade all of Palestine & obliterate it & its people.
He has learned well from the Nazis & their actions in the Warsaw ghetto. WHY isn't every last world leader - with the obvious exceptions of the idiot Trump & Putin - speaking out very publicly & very loudy against the Israeli govt?
