ANALYSIS:<\/strong> By Giacomo Lichtner<\/a>, Te Herenga Waka \u2014 Victoria University of Wellington<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

During the anti-lockdown protests<\/a> at Parliament last year, I was told about a 15-year-old who stopped to ask someone why they were crying.<\/p>\n

The person replied they were Jewish and had been upset by Nazi imagery used by some protesters, including swastikas chalked on the ground.<\/p>\n

Water bottle in hand, they set about washing these off, until a well-dressed, middle-aged woman threatened to kill them and parliamentary security ushered them away.<\/p>\n
