As a New Zealand born Maori from Ngapuhi and who now resides in America with a Jewish wife and two Maori Jewish children and who just coached a boys soccer team at the recent Maccabi Games here in the OC. I am glad that someone is at least fighting back against a NZ Govt that co-sponsored such a ridiculous resolution. Maori have been fighting their own govt for decades just to get an equal standing in NZ. Jews have been fighting much of the world just to exist for the last 3000 years.

back in the 1974–80’s I HAD THE PLEASURE OF BEING A MEMBER OF MOSHAV SDE NITZAN.
I ALSO HAD A “BROTHER” MOSHAVNIK DANNY POHATU. A GOOD CHAVER, A MAORI, FROM NEW ZEALAND.

In reply to Ethel McLenachan. Im Maori and of Jewish descent. The article is incorrect. These people do NOT represent Maori as a people. Nga Puhi are an odd tribe. You will find most Maori support Davidson.

In my 55years in the Motor Trade, I met clients from all walks of life, religions, ethnic races, rich and poor and if I thought they may not like to deal with a Jewish person, I would advise them accordingly. I only ever had one who answered in the negative, he was a Saudi Prince and he politely and apologetically asked me if he could deal with another member of the sales team. After the transaction was complete he sent me a letter of apology and a present of Theatre Vouchers!. The only other people who would sometimes make anti-Semitic remarks were aristocrats or unbelievers and I would always explain to them the error of their ways.
All the Buddhists, Hindus, Sikhs and many other religous sects I met in the UK expressed their thanks. Most of the Christians used to say they had never met a Jew before and seemed pleased to deal with me.
Now many thanks to the Maoris, may your race be Blessed

“to put it simply, there are more brown Jews than white in Israel.”

i don’t think there are any “white jews” or “brown jews” in israel. under jewish law, there are only “jews”. there are different groups, whose customs have evolved separately in different parts of the world, but they are all equally jewish, whether their community is from ethiopia or russia. dna evidence shows that the jewish people arose from a place called “judea”.

white racists don’t accept “jews” as white, and black racists don’t accept “jews” as non-white. and arab racists deny that “jews” are semites. but the whole usa of “race” is scientifically discredited, so let’s stop giving it credence.

That’s really nice of you, thank you for that but really no need to apologize, for me anyway. You did not do anything. You can’t control every decision of the government.

We the people of Israel welcome the Maori people to come and visit the Holy Land as brothers and sisters.

Thank you for your support and help God bless you.
