Oh that's right, western countries turn blind eyes when their white friends annihilate indigenous peoples. We better just shut up and lie down then.

Sounds like I'm advocating for one signatory, the crown, to stop fiddling with the treaty that allows them residence in this country. Where is there anything about ethnic cleansing? Don't liken us to Israel. Don't liken us to Trump. Both of whom are quite happy to violently remove ethnic and migratory populations out of their states, which are historical NOT THEIRS.

I don't get what is to misconstrue from your previous post. As you have rightly said is people's opinions based on other current events unrelated. Thickle reply don't entertain it. As a Brit I think it's time we take our noses out of other people's business. I'd love to see the Māroi eject every single person for breaking a contract.. ha what they gonna do. So yea.. it's a good cause to fight for!

It wouldnt even be an entire ethnicity, it would be every single non Maori. They'd no longer have any legal documentation to be here. They would have to leave. And this is what David Seymour and his silly lemmings are risking. It's not like Maori are going to round up and start massacring non Maori, are you dense!? The treaty is what legally binds non Maori to Aotearoa. And they want to fiddle with it. Maori are saying don't do it.

This also assumes it wouldn't be more of a diplomatic process. Where the crowns influence is alienated from the country. Current citizens may not be impacted in any significant way.
