Why DONT citizens of Israel need to pay to enter New Zealand or become a permanent resident?!?

im a British citizen.
i have visited New Zealand for over 10 years and have never known of any ties in the employment sector or tourism with Israel.
Theres actually as far as i know very few citizens of Israel in New Zealand.

i moved to New Zealand 3 1/2 years ago based on a job offer in the health and social care industrie as a psychologist, specializing in Autistic spectrum disorder.
i have done this work all of my adult life (8+ years) since i began the quest for my degree.
Im happly married with two children.

i am currently organising my residency, and was shocked to find that if your a citizen of Israel, then many Visa fees are wavered.
This shocks me because New Zealand has shared some strange times of late, with some young kiwis leaving NZ to join a ISIS faction in OZ, terrorist threats to goverment buildings, and a strong public and gov stance on the fight against ISIS, including possible military forces being sent to help.

im suprised, as a citizen of the country that helped colonize New Zealand, that Israel citizens have the fees to come and stay in this amazing country wavered, but i must pay over $2000 to do the same.....
some have to pay even more, infact if you come through investment, with $50,000 in your back pocket, you must pay $5000 to apply to be a resident.

also the jobs in which you can enter the country for residency as a citizen of Israel dont seem all that specialised.

iv just found an advert, placed by a Rabi (!!wtf!!) working for a company called 'Auckland Jewish Immigration' for a 'search engine researcher', a job you can obtain today from a rabi in Auckland, as long as your a citizen of Israel?! through this very important job you can obtain a perminent resident visa to remain in New Zealand.....and not pay a penny but for flights!!!

to boot, there have been various scandals involving citizens of Israel regarding passports fraud, drug and arms peddeling and foul play with gang related relations.

Crazy!!


whats my fellow kiwis view on this?
or anyones for that matter?!?
