Your comment about the new Chief Human Rights Commissioner's views on Israel shows both prejudice and ignorance. You have misrepresented what he said. He wasn’t “defending Israel’s attacks,” as you wrote. He was referring to the blindness of some gay supporters of the Palestinians. You appear to be ignorant of the regular chanting NZ anti-Israel demos, including marchers from the gay community showing their support for Hamas and Fatah regimes that viciously oppress gays (to the extent that Palestinian gays flee to Israel for their safety). Another common criticism, both sneering and smearing, is that Israel’s liberalness towards gays (since the 1960s) is “pinkwashing.”
I don’t think you are stupid, but please inform yourself more on the situation before issuing misleading knee-jerk prejudices.
