    Minto has always been racist, now his true colouirs are exposed once more. Scoop is correct, Minto and his nazi followers need to stop.

    The Jewish Council do not appear to have realised that the government
    is already targeting Israeli soldiers coming here and endeavoring to
    identify exactly the people Minto wants to be questioned - so is Minto
    all OK with you now that Luxon has decided to get the security forces
    to do what Minto was asking for?

    The two are unrelated and entirely different matters.
    The government is not racist, Minto (and you) are.
    You are lying again.

    The Government is denying visitor visas to Israeli citizens on the
    basis of answers to application visa. As with visa applications from
    all countries with whom NZ has no visa waiver agreement, it is
    designed to prevent travel.

    What Minto is doing is trying to have visitors from Israel ejected
    from NZ on the basis they might be from their military.

    The report I saw seemed to indicate that they were speaking with some
    of the people identified through the questions after they had arrived
    in New Zealand so that they could then check with sourced in the
    middle east.

    Minto appears to be trying to identify soldiers who could be shown >(presumably through Muslim contacts in or near Gaza) to have committed
    acts that could be regarded as offences against international war
    standards. It is possible that Minto did not realise that our
    security systems were also doing that, without publicity.
    Minto is behaving like the racist he is, nothing more.
    What the security service is or is not doing is irrelevant, they are doing their job and we do not have the right to know what they are doing at any particular time.

    Regardless of that, certain pro-Israel groups in NZ regard Minto’s actions
    as “anti-Semitic”, while they seem to have no complaint with what the Government is doing.

    That is because the two actions are unrelated and most certainly different. However, to understand that requires more balance than you have ever demonstrated here.
    Here's a hint. Minto's actions are racist, the government's are not.

    You have shown no evidence of either.
    I don't need to, you show that the government is - you cannot. Minto obviously is.
    It is possible (and indeed
    likely)
    Why? That is silly. If you ever go overseas do you expect to be so treated? >that a tourist who just happened to have fought against Israel

    If Minto's publicity helps identify war criminals from either side
    that may be useful, but knowledge that our security forces are looking
    after New Zealand's interests in this area may mean that Minto, and
    indeed all New Zealanders, can be pleased by the additional knowledge
    that has been prompted by Minto's actions.
    Only you and other followers of Minto and his cronies will benefit because it gives you more imagined political ideas.

    I don't need to, you show that the government is - you cannot. Minto >>obviously
    is.
    You made the assertion without evidence - I do not believe that the
    security services or Minto were being racist - and given the much
    greater need for humanitarian work in Gaza than in Israel, the
    likelihood of tourists from those subject to Israeli military action
    are likely to be tourists in New Zealand - but if they were I suspect
    the security forces would be just as interested in them as Israeli
    military personnel. Why do you think Minto is being racist?
    He is, he is picking on one race - Israelis and so are you. You are racist.
    The government and Minto (and you) have very different agendas - you know that is correct.

    It is possible (and indeed
    likely)
    Why? That is silly. If you ever go overseas do you expect to be so treated? >>>that a tourist who just happened to have fought against Israel

    Nonsense - there is no reason to suspect these folk of anything but Minto loves to stir up racism.

    If Minto's publicity helps identify war criminals from either side
    that may be useful, but knowledge that our security forces are looking >>>after New Zealand's interests in this area may mean that Minto, and >>>indeed all New Zealanders, can be pleased by the additional knowledge >>>that has been prompted by Minto's actions.

    That is because the two actions are unrelated and most certainly different.
    They appear to be very similar, with exactly the same aims.

    Refuse to see what, Tony?
    There you go, you can't see it.
    So you cannot see it either . . . certainly you cannot identify it . .

    I don't need to, you show that the government is - you cannot. Minto >>>obviously
    is.
    You made the assertion without evidence - I do not believe that the >>security services or Minto were being racist - and given the much
    greater need for humanitarian work in Gaza than in Israel, the
    likelihood of tourists from those subject to Israeli military action
    are likely to be tourists in New Zealand - but if they were I suspect
    the security forces would be just as interested in them as Israeli
    military personnel. Why do you think Minto is being racist?
    He is, he is picking on one race - Israelis and so are you. You are racist.
    So are you claiming that Hamas are also Israeli citizens? That is
    nonsense.

    They may appear that way to you but not to people who care about the truth. Read here - https://centrist.nz/new-zealand-denies-visa-restrictions-on-idf-soldiers-amid-activist-pressure/?utm_source=Klaviyo&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2-2-2025&_kx=r-9yRwOooklJ4fu8JfYI0L2yjNQJoEDhB4PntHsLeWo.VYfxNg
    Very different. The NZ government is treating Israelis the same as most other countries, Minto and you are not.
    I am sure you and he are happy to be racist but obviously the government is not.

    However, to understand that requires more balance than you have ever >>demonstrated here.
    Here's a hint. Minto's actions are racist, the government's are not.
    You have shown no evidence of either. It is possible (and indeed
    likely) that a tourist who just happened to have fought against Israel
    may be subject to the same sort of enquiries by our security forces.
    If Minto's publicity helps identify war criminals from either side
    that may be useful, but knowledge that our security forces are looking
    after New Zealand's interests in this area may mean that Minto, and
    indeed all New Zealanders, can be pleased by the additional knowledge
    that has been prompted by Minto's actions.
