Survivor's son and Israel fan tipped to be New Zealand PM
Dan Goldberg
October 24, 2008
The son of an Austrian-Jewish refugee whose mother escaped the Nazis
is tipped to become New Zealand's prime minister next month.
The election of John Key - who told the JC of his admiration for
Israel - may also end a period of dire diplomatic relations between
Wellington and Jerusalem.
Mr Key, 47, has been ahead of Prime Minister Helen Clark in all major
polls for the last year, although the gap narrowed last week as the
parties officially launched the election campaign.
If Mr Key leads the National Party to victory over the Labour Party on
November 8, it will draw to a close the worst chapter in diplomatic
relations between the two countries.
This was sparked in 2003 when Foreign Minister Phil Goff incensed
Israeli officials by visiting Yasser Arafat in Ramallah at the height
of the intifada.
Worse followed the following year when two apparent Mossad agents were
caught trying to illegally obtain a New Zealand passport.
In the wake of the scandal, Mrs Clark issued a blistering attack on
Jerusalem and suspended high-level relations for over a year until
Israel apologised.
Days after the incident, vandals burned a prayer house to the ground
at a Jewish cemetery in Wellington in what was described as the worst
antisemitic attack ever in New Zealand.
Although Mrs Clark, in power since 1999, hosted a kosher dinner last
month in parliament to acknowledge the country's Jewish community,
some believe a Key government will be more sympathetic to Israel.
"The current Labour Party has within its leadership several people
that are ideologically fixated on certain positions, some of which
mean an automatic disdain of Israel's policies," said Nathan Lawrence,
resident of the Zionist Federation of New Zealand.
"There is likely to be greater balance [under Key]. This will have
little to do with Key's Jewish background, but more so the greater
open-mindedness of the centre-right parties to the realities of the
world."
Mr Key told the JC that it was "understandable" that relations with
Jerusalem were "a little bit strained" after the so-called "passport
affair" but said there's "no use in reliving it".
If elected, he said he hopes to visit the Jewish state, where he has
cousins. Mr Key's mother, Ruth Lazar, was saved by her aunt, who paid
a British soldier to marry her, enabling Ruth, her brother, mother and
grandmother to obtain British visas and escape Austria in 1939. And he
wants to pay tribute at Yad Vashem to those of his mother's family who
did not survive the Holocaust.
"It would be [a poignant moment]," he said. "I very much want to go
there, in part because obviously I'm interested and also as a mark of
respect for my mum."
Mr Key, who criticised Mrs Clark for not supporting the war against
Iraq, said Israel and New Zealand have similarities.
"We are small in nature and we are entrepreneurial and Israel has
achieved some amazing things in terms of its high-tech space. I think
there's a lot New Zealand can learn from Israel."
Mr Key and his two sisters were brought up by their mother in poverty
in Christchurch after their father died in 1967.
But it was in London that he became a millionaire, working for Merill
Lynch for several years before returning home in 2001 and embarking on
his political career. Although conscious of his Jewish roots, Mr Key's
childhood was largely devoid of religion.
"I'm very respectful of the Jewish faith and in general I'm very
respectful of religion but I'm just not actively religious myself," he
said.
But some fear Key's roots may work against him. As one Jewish leader
put it: "There is a deep anti-Jewish, anti-Israel sentiment in New
Zealand. If Kiwis know he's Jewish, he would need to prove that he is
not biased toward Israel."
If Mr Key wins, he will not be the nation's first Jewish PM. Julius
Vogel served in the 1870s and Sir Francis Bell, who later converted to
Christianity, spent two weeks in charge in 1925.

#_Tu povero illuso, spuntato, minorato e senza-terra, dovresti fare salti
mortali per entrare qui; speri e credi che basti il tuo naso adunco per
uncinarne una sponda ?!? Ah! visto che accolgono rifugiati politici potresti
presentarti come estradato dai palestinesi...stralol
_Noi due ci abbiamo lavorato e ci lavoriamo da anni in questo paese. Credi
che tutti gli ebrei o discendenti abbiano la sporca mentalita`tua ?...Pussa
via spudorato coglione!

 C'è un candidato premier che  è ebreo,
e con la sua storia dimostra che un ebreo può stare benissimo anche
agli antipodi di Gerusalemme, con buona pace dei cretini come te

Kiwi e Giano: pronte le valigie?
gli ho già consigliato le isole Figi...però forse sarebbe meglio Mururoa... 
;-)) 

 via spudorato coglione!
Magari non verrai estradato Giano, ma dal tuo livore mi pare di capire che 
paventi un lungo periodo di opposizione? ;-DD
Non temeraic he soldati neozelandesi festeggino l'ANZAC Day a Kabul con gli 
Aussies? ;-D

"Il Basileus che siede a Costantinopoli vince sempre".
Kekaumenos. 

 gli Aussies? ;-D
#_Su quello non ho dubbi che lo festeggiaranno sempre, in qualsiasi 
occasione...stavolta per tirarsi su il morale di certo.
Anto'! E` inutile che tu insista a non accettare la realta` e a remare 
contro le rapide...in Afghanistan nessuno ha mai vinto e stavolta se il il 
servo degli US (S.A.) riuscira`a tirarne fuori un armistizio, e` 
completamente a beneficio della NATO.
