Rana, Youssef and Samuel are in Jordan! They have their passports but no possessions. They are in a hotel that they are funding themselves... no taxpayer money is helping them. β€οΈπŸ’šπŸ–€

The scarf is a keffiyah and has hundreds of years of history behind it. The Palestinians and their supporters do not have lose their history and culture in order to survive.

Yup, people had done so before I saw it (and the post had only been up for 22 minutes!)

Thank you Paul. I've been following Bridge's misogyny since his time in breakfast tv. He has always been demeaning to female politicians but especially ChlΓΆe. He has seemed joyful in his bile ridden rants, often teaming up with Seymour to try and discredit her. He's a woman hating hack.

They deserve it but the Palestinians deserve it more. Shine the light on them, as Greta would say.

It's sickening. It will blow over in a few days but it's so gross to be anywhere online or near media today. We should be listening instead to Greta talking about the genocide but instead we're distracted by this faux outrage created by the instigators of hate.

This was just put on Facebook by NZ First, absolutely escalating the situation. There's men on there threatening harm to ChlΓΆe. bsky.app/profile/veba...

Nice. We still need to try and it also helps build community for when elections come around.

So well said. I've been thinking about exactly this. His huge house in the most expensive part of Tāmaki Makaurau comes from taxpayer money. His gin and tonics at the bars along Ponsonby Rd... same. Who lives in the real world again?

Unfortunately number 10 on the govt's to do list this quarter: pass the Regulatory Standards Bill
Why bother having submissions and a select committee if it's a foregone conclusion?

Peters says he has β€˜no doubt’ Swarbrick’s rhetoric on Gaza incited vandalism on home as man charged The incident happened yesterday evening at the Foreign Minister's home in Auckland.

Always blaming #WOMEN for #MALEVIOLENCE.

A MAN was arrested for breaking a window at #WinstonPeters' home.

Not #ChloΓ©Swarbrick. Not #AcaciaO'Connor.

LET THAT SINK IN.

I'm so angry about this today. The absolute injustice of the media saying some ill- disciplined dickhead is the responsibility of Chlâe and that her rhetoric causes hatred. She talks about humanity and caring for people. They point their fingers in hate every day and the media ignore it. 😑

Email #ChristopherLuxon re #WinstonPeters' irresponsible & dangerous accusations towards #ChloeSwarbrick for the broken window incident.
Remind these "politicians" they aren't above the law.

Yes, the man that started the false allegations against Benjamin Doyle was a member of NZ First...a member of Winston's party. Did Winston get held to account for that?

What a disgusting interview from Bridge! An absolute bully, who told falsehoods about ChlΓΆe's behaviour. She has not encouraged any violence, her rhetoric is always in support of humanity. Look at any Winston Peters or Seymour post and you will see anger, nastiness, lies and name calling.

06.10.2025 22:02 β€” πŸ‘ 6    πŸ” 3    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Yes, thanks! I'm thankful they will be released. Peters has been careless with his words about NZ citizens doing. That he doesn't believe they were doing the right thing during an illegal genocide in which all states are compelled to act, speaks volumes about his lack of integrity.

Because I never look at Winston Peters' social media, I was gobsmacked by that post demeaning Chlâe and the whānau of the captured flotilla crew. It was full of absolute lies, esp about her protesting outside his house. She is also more aware of the real world than him, helping street whānau daily.

Greta Thunberg and 150 other flotilla captives were released and flown to Greece today. Still the kiwis languish in Israeli captivity. Luxon must act to secure the release of NZ citizens.

His rhetoric is made to inflame and is so disingenuous. But most kiwis who don't have time to understand what's going on, and are used to trusting their politicians, will agree with him. This govt is so wretched.

It's also incredibly emotional, bring tissues. These people are all incredible humans, so loved by their whānau and friends. They don't deserve the treatment they're currently getting at the hands of the genocidal regime.
Luxon's needs to be a PM to ALL his citizens.

I don't agree with anyone damaging his house or sharing his family. I don't like his rhetoric in that post though. Look at how he threw MPs into this, as though they were part of it and so he's amplified the situation. I think his speech has actually crossed a line here.
