"how can I make the Gaza conflict about me?"
If those two countries are ignoring Biden's advice, I fear not much will be accomplished by this man, but his feelings mean something to him obviously....
@@andreatodd3095 He wil accomplish nothing. Interesting that that cause means so much to him that he hasn't even donated enough to produce flyers. He knows he's a fraud and that's why he's trying so hard to sound articulate. Even that's fake.
@@andreatodd3095 It means so much to him that he won't even pay to make some flyers...Just needs that validation
“And sound like a complete twat all at the same time”
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hey everyone 'look at me ', 'i am special', I have no real idea regarding the situation in Gaza, But 'look at me anyway', '
did i mention i'm special'.
hes got more of a clue than you by the look of it
@@jamesbroughton4706 If you study the history of the Levant, you would not say that. I'm not talking about the propaganda and misinformation about the Nakba and the screeds of memes that flood social media, etc.
I'm talking about the actual history, not the stories invented by people like Peppe who pretend to be historians. Will Alexander is misinformed and his actions are thus misguided.
you really need to come a liitle closer to home while your babbling on about history young children are intentionally being murdered by israeli forces i dont care what happened 2 thousand years ago no one one on this planet now was there then but they act like they where whats happening now is whats important there is nothing more important than the lives of these children even though israel would have you believe differantly@@kingfillins4117
This guy is an absolute muppet lol 😂
so are all of you
This was so hilarious. Will is a complete twerp. How can I get some attention? I need a feast of relevancy!
Never heard of the guy - what a tosser!
He doesn't even know what "Genocide" means. I mean, it's not like the word "Gene" is right there in the name? OMFG these narcissistic, leftists Wokestanis never cease to astonish with their complete ignorance. Is him starving himself is really going to hurt the world?
Maoris did genocide on the morioris just saying
Yes - but - even that has been blamed on Europeans 🙄
And after the Treaty the Kingitanga tried to genocide Pakeha plus the Christian Maori
yes fact not fiction
tell your own peoples history, that genocide, dont detract from your own peoples genocide, hypocrit
@@Mike-mt7vu what a load of crap
Hunger strike all you want. You will give up. A mate of Minto? Of course you are.
sounds like a failed actor who is trying to get his name in headlines again.
Yep I need a job look at me
Well done Will for single-handedly ending the 75 year long conflict in the Middle East. What a chimp...whoops, I mean champ.
Lord give me strength, no wonder our school kids are leaving school, deluded, confused and with little to no useful education when you have bit actors teaching in system. Hunger strike my a$$
He's teaching an "elite" school in ChCh too, Medbury Prep School. Parents pay top dollar to be there. He was probably stood down in order to keep the children safe, as children that young could get the wrong messaging and be harmed if one of their teachers is on a hunger strike.
Our government called for a ceasefire and two state solution LAST WEEK! This guy lives in a fantasy universe
Exactly - what are we going to do? Send our military? No one wants this conflict to continue.
And we don't want the refugees from the conflict here we got enough shit of our own to sort out imo
We don't want the refugees here ether
Whilst i support the governments stance, anyone who genuinely believes a two state solution is still pssible is the one living in a fantasy universe
In denmark, who has taken the most from the region, after five years, only 34% have found jobs . . .@@ronaldwarren1267
Any excuse to draw attention to themselves by virtue signalling
He needs to have a bloody meal, get back in his lane, and open a history book
and what does Sean get for lying about history?
I suggest you open or read a history book, perhaps a Norman Finkelstein.
????@@jameslikesbooks
& what history books are you reading genius ?
whats history got to do with murdering children
When you work in the entertainment industry, you will begin to think and act like that. Narcissism.
This guy is clueless. Jumping on the bandwagon. Eating something is not a hunger strike. He supports Hamas.
Opposing the slaughter of Palestinian civilians in no way endorses Hamas.
literally EVERYONE opposes the slaughter of palestinian civilians, and after the denmark experiment, literally EVERYONE does not want them in their country either@@jumblyman
and you support genocide
Is his employer needing to fork out 10 sick days for his hunger strike?
This guy needs to be treated for something this is far from normal
Shortland Street? More like The Muppet Show.
hes more of a human being than youll ever be
@@jamesbroughton4706 So according to you, for me to be more of a human being I need to be poorly educated about the history of the Levant and the conflict there, and virtue signal to everyone about a war by making it all about myself not eating? How does pure narcism makes me more human?
@@kingfillins4117 at least hes doing some thing why do we have a frigate in the middle east supporting a war criminal anyway i agree with him we are supporting a genocidal maniac and your calling him a muppet
@@kingfillins4117 i dont give a dam about your education level you dont seem to see the connection to why he is doing this your the one judging him im pointing out that you and your comments are merely put downs he sees pictures of whats happenimg to innocent people and then he sees our country supporting it and then he gets dics like you judging him but not willing to make a difference your self
What stops hunger strikes.... having to work to provide for your family.... this guy is the embodiment of privilege
I watched the rest of this on the app, best laugh I’ve had in ages.
Thanks Sean
...The Soy is strong with this one!
"We're both discussing it together" LOL. Off to a flyer
That guy is a oxygen thief
What a strange guy.
How could a hunger strike not be calorie free? WTF?
What a waste of time Sean
ive gone 7 days with no calories before just for health, longevity and a good challenge. My advice, check back in with this guy after a week or two. No point talking to him now. See you in two weeks!
The coalition already has called for a ceasefire.
This whole gaza conflict is really bringing the mentally ill out of the wordwork.
Calorie free. So a water fast? How about a phone and internet fast
Ever noticed clewy shorebrook from the greens sniffing her fingers during parliament questions time
Where have they been?
😅

Alternative title : Plunket interviews a plonker.
Maybe Will Alexander should go to Guatemala and learn what genuine hunger really is. Just as well he lives in Aotearoa not here in NZ.
I assume Will is not employed as an actor then! Mybe this will bring him some attention.
But who's going to book him ? There's no Palestine media companies 😂 here in NZ media works no , whitebait media no , southbait no
He should eat some hummus.
Who is this person?
He has no idea what hes talking about.
Thank god they have stopped him teaching.
Keep him away from kids.
i wonder if you do
Middle East Conflict is easy to understand. Two tangata whenua cherish the same land. The world offers both statehood. One says, let's give coexistence a shot, and accept. The other said no way, we want a winner takes all, fight to the death. And people have been dying ever since.
Yup😅
He sounds like a Greenie doesnt know what hes talking about
Well there is no genocide in Gaza according to the international definitions.
But there is / was in Syria and China and no-one gave a flying fck.
Maybe it’s because of Israel and Jewish involvement?
ITS GENOCIDE according to the Hague, Hence the application for arrest warrant for Netanyahu.
Anyone and I mean anyone can get on Shortland Street.
“I’d just like to be clear” which Green leader does that remind you of
Yeah, I stopped watching it many years ago too, shortly after the "not in Guatemala" line. I can't quite see why he thinks anyone would care if he's on a hunger strike or not.
Ha. I have my grandson at Medbury School here in ChCh and all caregivers/parents got a message from the School this morning on him not being at school. He is the drama teacher - and very much liked by the boys which is a pity he is not there. But its a primary / intermediate school so I agree the school put him on halt for a while
There are other great teachers around. As a teacher, my view is it is not our job to politicise our students. By him making such a public statement of his controversial political views, he is unfit to teach. Teachers have huge influence on young minds, so we need to administer that responsibility wisely, and not flout it. Not all Medbury parents will want their sons indoctrinated. Some may agree with his views, but many won’t.
i would not let my kids anywhere near this guy
This guys a teacher? He’s pretty far off on matters. (A nice way of saying it).
The UN has drastically reduced the fatality figures for Gaza .
Only because some quality journalists started investigating Hamas’s figures. They could not be verified. So Hamas reduced the figures, so UN reduced there’s. I noted the new figures still do not include young men of military age. I still find it unfathomable that UN relies on a terrorist organisation for the figures.
no they havnt you listening to too much propaganda
Well this will end with one less crappy NZ actor I suppose only because he's so staunch for his beliefs 😂
Good lesson on the definition of genocide and the differences between diet and hunger strikes. I wonder if he has actually figured out the correlation between hunger strikes and suicides yet 😂
Omg this was too easy. Not fair Sean, that was like shooting fish in a barrel. Uncomfortable watch. That guy is a walking mental health statistic.
He is a nutter !
International Health laws were broken too so get in line mate!
I bet this guy supports Marxism too 😂
Actors acting irl. Professional use less person
Weight loss program for conspiracy theorists?
brilliant. By the way I have been wondering how I can get rid of a few kgs around my waste and bingo - theres the answer
This guy is no Mahatma Ghandi
The man is in la la land .
Will he even last a week before he gives up?
Nah he's already trying to back out "I'll just eat what Gaza eats "
Don’t give him any more food ever….. He is a waste of space….
He's complete bonkers
The name of our country is New Zealand!
so whats your point you all good with murdering children
then why have we got a war ship in the fn region
Go Will' and Greta Minto !!!!
Oh, there are living relatives of the people that were wiped out? Uh, OK.
In his defence - they don't all have to be wiped out it's attempting to wipe out any group. But he's just attention seeking - needs to feel special.
@Mike-mt7vu so if it only needs to be attempted, here's some other groups others have tried to wipe out over the course of history:
The Europeans.
The Christians.
The English.
The Germans.
The Boar.
Would you say all those groups are victims of genocide too?
Minto 🤣🤣😂
What a total drop kick😂
Will if you’re seeing this comment, I’m so sorry for all of these comments. They are disgusting and uneducated. Please know that I’m infuriated by this video and his man is insufferable. I admire your bravery and pray for your survival. Free free Palestine 🇵🇸
Thats way he works on shortland street
Geneocide: "Genes" It's in the fkn name you friggin genius.
When you aren't getting enough attention...
Hi Sean, I spoke after Will today at the Christchurch City council and I may of been the reason he's quit his hunger strike as I brought up points about consistent disruption, vandalism, an attitude that acts "above the law" made an example one of them climbing the very building and quoted Will Encouraging it in his public video air on Wokie News outlets, compared their antisemitism to Nazi Germany's finanticism and other historical points, now he's ended it when he said on day 10 he was not going to stop ??
stop oil now, green party, just guessing.
Really?
I’m thinking of going on a KFC hunger strike, you can only eat it
I feel like I’ve just been on a trip to cuckoo land and met the leader
It would be interesting to know why he currently isn’t a school teacher!
Very simple the Principal asked to to step aside and not come to school while things are resolved. The Principal gave a very transparent reason putting the primary and intermediate pupils first
People like him make me feel like Einstein
Who cares?
My wanganui! Nooooo
Yep, your Whanganui. Anti Semitic to it's very core. I can say this from personal experience this last Saturday morning after being assaulted outside a council property, all supported by a Whanganui council employed manager.
Oh dear...someone tell him that Palestine is an imaginary state.
1100, not " two and a half thousand "
So, there are now categories for types of hunger strikes??
Cookcoo
His ignorance declares itself !!!
Cringe
Omg....
Embarrassment 😳
Thanks Will for your outstanding idea on a hunger strike that will have a lot of influence and send a clear message to the government and all of us!
Please keep your water intake up and through the cleansing/lack of food you may reach a higher clarity on where you are at now…..
Well that sorted that out Sean
uummmmm.......
Omg
What's eating Sean????? Is it treatable?
Joining a flotilla planning to carry aid to Gaza it's a good place to start Will🤔... if you truly want to be taken seriously that is. What you're doing it's nothing but making a mockery of those who really risk their lives in order to make a difference . ZERO Respect 👎
I don't agree with Will, but this was the worst interview ever by Sean, and he's actually getting worse. His interviews are fast becoming arguments as opposed to interviews. Which is why I will never be a paid member. Martin knows how to interview, likewise with Michael, but Sean is painful.
Correct, he didn't let him have his say. OTOH, Sean found out how flaky he was pretty quickly though.
Right on sean starting to turn interviewing into an argument
From the get-go, Sean was using the interview as a means to put forward his own position while using semantics to prevent this man from making any points at all. Shameful. Also, the comments are rigged.
@@magingi What makes you think the comments are rigged?
@@Genghis7777 It's not a question of thinking, it is one of knowing. This based on basic facts. And, I would explain, at length even, but alas I know what happens sometimes when I do that.
What I will say, is that given what I assert, the implications of this cannot be over stated. What that means. I will leave it at that.
Free free Palestine 🇵🇸
Seans a muppet.
Doubled the casualty count of the victims on October 7th, not even the Israelis use that number. He seems to have no actual clue about the goings on of the last 7 months.
The siege and deliberate starvation being used on the territory and the people IS a war crime and after future adjudication most likely will be deemed a genocide.
There are already arrest warrants for Netanyahu and his defense minister. I'm sure Sean would rather talk about the semantic definition of genocide rather than dealing with the fact our government is currently collaborating with a leader who has an arrest warrant out for him by the International Court of Justice.
Will isnt the most sophisticated activist, but dont pretend that Sean is somehow a bastion of wisdom on this, he doesn't have a clue.
Great start gets the green light to talk but can't talk because that's the truth there but doesn't want to disclose those details : Clean up your own room before you can tell anyone else how to clean there's pretty much sums this up ... and where's his Palestinian scarf maybe you'll get reckonise if you wrap it around your mouth 🙊
Very much a fuzzy thinker. Thinks with his heart not his head. Doesn't know what a genocide is. Thinks Cambodia is a genocide. Under the definition he's using, then the Mongrel Mob killing someone in Black Power is a genocide. Doesn't even know what a hunger strike is. With that level of flakiness what thinking person would follow him?
Move away. Get a much clearer vision.
Not that i agree with mr shortland street, but this was a very poorly argued conversation. Sean needs to practice strongmaning his opponents instead of constantly aiming to catch him on technicalities.
😂😂😂😂😂
shall we go fund me him a mcd happy meal?
