Maybe she should reconsider...

A View from Down Under: Anti-Semitism rising in NZ

http://www.jpost.com/Diaspora/A-View-from-Down-Under-Anti-Semitism-rising-in-NZ-382612

The Jewish cemetery in Auckland had been vandalized with swastikas and anti-Semitic graffiti, and even the old cemetery in Wellington had its tombstones kicked over and desecrated. At the same time, an Australian report recently released indicated a threefold increase in anti-Semitic physical assaults reported in Australia over the past year. Clearly, anti-Semitism is on the rise, and despite its rejection by what I believe as most decent members of society, even that has not stemmed its flow.

Why now? And why here – in countries that are generally among the most tolerant in the world? Much of it can be attributed to the media’s reporting. Any reporting of Israel and its recent Gaza war, is absolutely and even universally biased against Israel. In the eyes of the general population, whose opinions are forged by the media, Israel remains a bully suppressing a “defenseless and innocent population” in “the world’s largest open air prison.” The fact that this is a lie is irrelevant – and most peoples’ attention spans don’t last long enough to verify or find out the truth themselves.

But the reasons that Jews are targeted is because despite what any individual Jew’s personal political views and opinion towards Israel – Israel remains the national state and symbol of the Jewish people. If a member of society wants to lash out against Israel – the easiest target is the Jew walking down the street, or the kosher bakery selling challah for Shabbat, or the shop selling Israeli pickles.

I’d love to contribute toward a couple of one-way tickets to NZ as soon as RBG resigns her SCOTUS seat.

I guy I worked with wanted to retire and move New Zealand after vacationing there for a few weeks. Once he found out the hoops you had to go through to even apply, he dropped it.

Looney liberal think every country will just let people come into their country just because they want to come. Most countries actually have immigration laws that are enforced.

Interesting. So Ginsburg who is Jewish you would think might want to go to Israel, if she wants to escape Trump’s new “racist” US

Instead wants to go to New Zealand the same country that picked up and sponsored the anti-israel resolution in the UN after Egypt dropped it after Trump twisted Egypt’s arm

It seems there’s a lot of Jew that are like a lot of the citizens of Western Nations... they both seem to have a death wish...

This is so strange Western culture is judeo-christian culture... and judeo-christian culture seems infected with desire for suicide

Ist interesting this is Christmas Day. The Western holidays and celebrate the birth of a Jewish child as Savior of the world

For these people, it’s all about them, not America, nor liberty, nor our Constitution.
We do not want or need them. They should go, and never look back. Soon.

“‘Now it’s time for us to move to New Zealand,’” Ginsburg said her husband would be urging if Trump won the election."

Good. The sooner President Trump can fill her seat on the Court, the better.

Is this a joke? Ruth Bader Ginsburg has lived in New Zealand for years. She resides deep in a mountain and is very protective of her “Precious.”

WHOO. One more seat for Trump to fill. Don’t care what spears I catch. Cruz. Gowdy... SCOTUS!!!

Too bad trump can’t fire that coward Roberts. The Some-beach will go down in history as destroying the medical industry of the USA.

Good luck. NZ is very picky about who they let immigrate to their country. And they don’t want old people
