The Pronoun Class
I’m often struck how those offended by people not using pronouns and act aggressively in response are also the same ones usually making excuses for terror against others.
Israel
Israel Setting in for the Long Haul
At least a decade of occupation is necessary to root out Hamas.
Iran: The Cornered Beast Lashes Out
Foiled Iranian terror plot is just the tip of the iceberg.
Israel’s Only Choice Is to Control Gaza
Anything else is sacrificing the future for the sake of the present.
Why Is NZ Still Funding This?
Other countries have acted. The United States, Germany, the European Union, and Canada have all suspended or reconsidered their UNRWA funding after learning of staff participation in terrorism and systemic antisemitic indoctrination. New Zealand, meanwhile, is standing still.
It Won’t Happen Again?
Jewish businesses won’t be targeted again? Synagogues won’t be vandalized and have their windows shattered? That won’t happen again?
When the World Looks Away
Despite recent reports of Druze being targeted again in southern Syria, New Zealand has made no official comment. No condemnation. No statement of concern. Not even a symbolic gesture of solidarity. Its silence has been deafening.
Demand Disarmament and the Release of Hostages
Those who claim to care about Palestinian lives must stop enabling the terrorist group that has sacrificed them for political gain. Gaza will only be free when it is free of Hamas.

What Netanyahu Says About Working With Biden and Trump
“We appreciate the help that we’re getting from the United States” – Netanyahu
Why Is Israel Held to a Different Standard?
We must affirm Israel’s right to defend its citizens with the same moral clarity we afford every other nation. To do otherwise is not just inconsistent – it’s unjust.
The Meaning of ‘Never Again’ in a World That Forgets
Holocaust distortion, denial, and erasure seep subtly into classrooms, campuses, and discourse. We must remain vigilant – not only out of solidarity with global Jewry, but as a commitment to our own democratic and humane values.
When Terror Wears a Red Crescent
When terror wears a red crescent, it isn’t protected – it is disguising itself. And the world must stop pretending otherwise.
Israel Is the Greatest Decolonisation Project Ever
Israel is not just a state – it is the embodiment of the triumph of a people over history’s greatest injustices, and a living example of the enduring power of the human spirit to overcome even the harshest of adversities.
