What would the Mossad want with Down Under?

Being able to pose as New Zealand tourists makes them less conspicuous than flashing their Mossad credentials

They probably want nothing down under directly. A Kiwi passport arouses less hostility, scrutiny and suspicion in some quarters than American, British Australian, etc. NZ is a small country with a positive reputation internationally. It is too small to have stepped on any toes and hence its citizens normally get quie a friendly reception. Can be very useful....

Mind you, I doubt they're Mossad. I know Mossad aren't as error-free as they used to be but this still seems kind of clunky.....Israeli action possibly, maybe one of the other agencies...

I imagine the Mossad wants to have boots on ground virtually everywhere.Much like every other spy agency in the world.Including our own.
What I find rather odd is an actual Mossad "agent" getting caught in a rather pointless endeavor, and admitting to being an agent of the Mossad.
This does not quite pass the smell test for me.
Sounds a bit more like Israeli mafia wannabes being typically inept and desparate.Or a complete fabrication.
It's possible I guess, but the probability factor is low, IMHO.

Spy-types tend to be a bit more graceful and have better connections then this. Besides if you want a passport for just about any country you can general find it being sold in any major city. No need to travel to New Zealand when you can buy the same thing in Paris.

"Jews in New Zealand... I can tell you that there aren't a whole lot of them here"

Which might provide some evidence that they are, um, not very welcome in those parts?

,,, possibly they're more inclined to go where there's greater opportunity and larger economies. They seem to stick to their own communities - maybe the size of their communities here is one of the negative variables or disincentives to further immigration.

Tell me what you know about difficulties Jews have in New Zealand.
