Hamas takes foreign advisors and fighters. If the virtue signalers cared half as much as they pretend too, they would be over there fighting. But that takes courage of ones convictions and a sense of selflessness.

That achieved precisely fuck all apart from the demonization of nuclear resulting in billions of tonnes of more pollution being pumped into the atmosphere.
Not a stupid reply at all. I'm surprised someone of your intelligence has taken it that way.
I was replying to a post claiming leadership and integrity. I'm simply saying I'm not seeing that from her about issues that she would actually have to do something about. Of course we have a voice on the international stage. Get thrown out of parliament for the rest of the week on this issue though doesn't scream leadership and integrity. More like petulance.
You are right though, that the Government need to do more to help the lives of those who are more likely to transgress in this way. Certainly isn't a silver bullet and we have seen that just throwing money after money doesn't work, in fact it makes it worse. I'm pleased that we are making much needed overdue changes to Education. That is the first step.
I'm not sanctimonious at all about this . If you had taken notice of my posts previously I have covered the issues about our own violent crimes against our children numerous times.

So, Chloe's side kick was the minister outside cabinet for the prevention of family and sexual violence and also the Associate minister for housing in the last Govt. How did that go? Leaders my arse.
Agree with Inruin, don't hear much wailing, gnashing of teeth and chanting; From the River to the Sea, we will set our Children free? Bloody disgrace the amount of violence against children in this country. Pretty trendy to wear the keffiyeh though and mouth off about others.
Give Marama her due, at least she went over there. Chloe could have hitched a ride with Greta.
What charade is that? Is reading comprehension not your thing?
Man you lot are weirdos sometimes.
The conservative right and far right are on the wrong side of history and humanity, regardless of how long the right remain ascendant in this current cycle, that I freely admit I may not see the end of in my lifetime.
The acceleration towards authoritarianism, isolation, fascism, misogyny, racism, the disinformation and lying, the concentration of wealth, and yes the genocide in Palestine - all, ALL the right or those of the that persuasion.
And it needs all of us, especially those on the right who have integrity to speak up about this, to push back.
Some of us who are old enough have parents, certainly grandparents, that lived through the fascism of the second world war, of which there are strong echoes today. I know what mine would say, they'd be horrified.
Look at how shallow and bitter you lot are.

By the way, how much do you and Inruin speak up about violence to children in this country? Anything?
What are you guys doing? Anything?
You have stated previously that you are center and now you have said you are left, this is who you are.
I get that you lot are 'confused' about a lot of things but its ok, we accept you for who you are.
Well, no one else in Parliament has even remotely spoken up about it, because there's a narrative that is highly constrained that the mainstream doesn't dare step outside, and utter bullshit.

MaybeTop8 Center, Don't make me laugh! Is middle name is Comrade!
Are you seriously trying to defend a politician in an elected position of power by comparing them to an ordinary citizen?
And actually, yeah I do a bit. Could I do more? Sure. I know that Chloe (and the rest of the politicians) can certainly do a hell of a lot more than they are currently.

Nothing wrong with speaking out but there is a fine line of credibility with many of these issues. I recall a number of high profile Aotearoans marching against the tour and also being on the Flotilla that went up to Mururoa to protest.
Both significant issues and in our back yard.
The middle east is a far more complex situation which bigger brains than mine or yours haven't been able to solve. I l
I would be happy for Chloe and Co to protest the Palestinian situation if it was balanced on the basis that both sides are as bad as each other.

Go back and have a look at my posts on this very subject. It is an issue my wife and I take very seriously and both of us spend a fair amount of time with Family Violence is not OK (In Taranaki) Unfortunately we are the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff
Careful mate, that won't meet the narrative of not showing any humanity.
I was going to use the funny emoji but you wouldn't get it. In fact I don't really think you are capable of any informed debate.
Just a thought for you discuss round the dinner table tonight.
I'm off out for some pasta so don't reply until after 8 when I'll be home and will have had a couple Chianti's.
Sorry JuJu, team list night and I had the shakes.

It's a festering sore in this country and people are afraid to speak out about it due to the prime protagonists being māori.
No surprises that's your goto.
But it's not both sides are as bad as each other is it. Again that's a right wing mainstream narrative that feeds into the entire perpetuation of Israel's dominance in the region that has now spilled over into actual genocide.
And believe me I'm not pro Hamas or any proxy militant occupier. There really, really, isn't an equivalence.

It's interesting that there is a growing number of Pacifica now too adding to the predominantly lower socio economic māori protagonists. They tend to be second or third generation NZ born Islanders. There is a definite split even within the different ethnicity that make up the stats. Certainly not trying to stereotype a race because there is a very high proportion of māori for example who are successful, great parents, caring family etc I do think it's become more than a festering sore. It's quite often an open wound visible to many. My family are heavily involved in education, most of them work in low decile areas and see first hand the issues out there. I believe education is the biggest opportunity to change things for the better but it's going to take generations to see meaningful, tangible results I think and one of the bigger issues is the lack of expectations or aspirations from the immediate family and getting kids to school. Perhaps that's why politicians put it in the too hard basket? It doesn't provide a nice little positive sound bite. Mostly it's whoever is in says it was the last lot while the opposition say the current government aren't doing anything/ enough. I've had health issues recently but prior to that I helped my wife facilitate parenting workshops through the Childcare she worked for. Small group of parents you are connecting with but it all makes a contribution - for the record I wasn't the person leading the sessions, just helped to organize them and offer whatever help I could. Also did some football coaching at our local club. It's interesting the difference in individual kids just in the single team. I highly recommend any parents to involve their kids in organized sports as they grow up, for a variety of reasons
