"While Māori children are being beaten, abused and killed right here in New Zealand, Te Pāti Māori’s leaders are too busy preaching about Gaza to notice the blood on their own doorstep. ...
"It’s easy for [them] to shout about oppression halfway around the world, but where is [their] voice when Māori kids are dying up in Northland while under the care of Ngati Hine? Where is her anger when Māori families are trapped in gang-run communities plagued by drugs, violence and generational trauma? ...
"Rawiri Waititi and Debbie Ngarewa-Packer are demanding the New Zealand Government expel the Israeli ambassador unless Israel halts its military campaign and opens up Gaza to humanitarian aid. That’s their priority. Not the Māori kids being buried, not the Māori women being beaten, not the Māori offenders clogging up the justice system with violent crimes. Their outrage is selective and political, not moral."~ Matua Kahurangi from his post 'Te Pāti Māori more concerned with Gaza than Māori children being murdered at home'

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
