That tangential. Well Israel’s parents are Tongan and he says Tonga is his spiritual home. His mum is a Methodist minister. What I was trying to get at is that he justified his comments by saying it was his belief system. So how come he doesn’t respect the ( fakaleiti ) inclusiveness of Polynésien culture or indeed call out the sinners on that island who beat their wives. The last one is a double edged sword, because unsurprisingly Tongans justify wife beating by (you guessed it) saying the bible says it is a man’s right.
you and I do not know his belief system, just because he is Tongan doesn't mean his belief system is 100% that of your stereotypical
Togan.
The only thing we know for sure is that he is speaking as someone in freedom, and he is willing to accept the consequences
