The Jewish Council of New Zealand condemns the antisemitic language that it has witnessed at the protests at Parliament. It is important to remember that while not all protestors agree with the sentiment, standing by and staying silent alongside such abhorrent sentiment gives it legitimacy and oxygen. Conspiratorial politics is a fertile breeding ground for antisemitism, history has taught us this. We ask the public to stand with the New Zealand Jewish community and reject antisemitism, misinformation and conspiracy theories.
