The Israel Institute of New Zealand has previously exposed a “Pro-Palestinian” Facebook group<\/a> – Kia Ora Gaza, run by Roger Fowler – as promoting and tolerating antisemitism.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Ardern was a member of that group without her knowledge and distanced herself from it when she saw the racism on display<\/a>. However, some Green MPs are still part of that group.<\/p>\n

There is another Facebook group – Aotearoa Standing With Palestine – that has been shown to promote and tolerate antisemitism in it<\/a> – including Holocaust denial. A Labour MP is an active member of that group and one of the administrators is part of the Palestinian Solidarity Network Aotearoa (PSNA).<\/p>\n

The Israel Institute of New Zealand has shown how the secretary of PSNA, Neil Scott, posts comments almost identical to that of the White Supremacist webiste, The Daily Stormer<\/a>; and how the chair of that group, John Minto, also tolerates and engages in antisemitism<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There is also a White Supremacist group in New Zealand that is becoming louder. Action Zealandia is also linked to overseas groups<\/a> known to be violent and openly antisemitic.<\/p>\n

To show how similar the anti-Israel and White Supremacist antisemitism is, we have put together a little quiz. See if you can correctly identify where each statement came from.<\/p>\n
