If you rearrange the letters in the word “silent” you can form “listen”.
It would be good if the present three-headed coalition government had listened more to the nation and followed past principles on our record for caring for Human Rights.
Palestine did exist before 1948, and even the Gorgon, Netanyahu, cannot deny that. Israel did not exist before 1948. And what about the promised equality from the long gone Balfour Declaration? Israel is silent on that part of the promise. So is New Zealand
Recently my country shamed itself by sitting and wetting its pants on the political fence which is dripping with the blood of children murdered by the Gorgon. As I said “silent” can be “listen”. Our P.M. did not even have the guts to tell the nation beforehand what his Foreign Minister was going to say at the United Nations. It’s interesting how the word “silent” also means “political cowardice.” But, I am waiting and hoping for peace to be followed by those words which politicians love ………..“never again”.
