Abstract
THIS PRESENTATION: • Highlights the motion of censure against the Israeli Union of Social 
Workers passed by the IFSW General 
Meeting on Monday • Is not a self-righteous, moralistic judgement against Israeli social workers 
and their organisation • Is an invitation for Israeli social workers 
to join a journey that I and my pākeha social work colleagues have had to walk 
on relating to advancing justice for our 
indigenous Maori peoples in Aotearoa 
New Zealand • Is a personal statement from me, not 
claiming to speak on behalf of my professional association or anyone else.
