Also, just from having listened to Prime Minister Helen Clark and Foreign Affairs minister Phil Goff's statements regarding Israeli 'policies' over the years I get the impression that 'our' government's sympathies tend to be somewhat pro-Palestine. If Israel ever screws up in our shores, the goverment will probably want to come down reasonably strictly.

Still, they only recieved six months jail time and a $50,000NZ fine each, which they shall pay to the cerebral palsy foundation (the guy who's passport they were trying to swipe is a cerebral palsy sufferer). Passport fraud caries a five year maximum sentence, so it could have been alot worse for these two men.
