CHRISTCHURCH: Israel Weekly Solidarity March @ Bridge of Remembrance
May 19 @ 1:30 PM

After the October 7 massacres, over a hundred hostages still remain in captivity.

Hamas agreed to a hostage release of all women and children.  They reneged.

Since then they have refused all offers for a ceasefire.

Join us every Sunday at 2pm, at the Bridge of Remembrance, rain or shine to show our solidarity with the Hostages and Israel.

Don’t let the anti-Israel forces create an Orwellian world where

  • torture and rape are legitimate resistance,
  • civilians are human shields,
  • the UN and its facilities are extensions of Hamas,
  • legitimate warfare is a “war against children”

See you there!

CHRISTCHURCH: Israel Briefing & AGM: May 30. @ Hao Room, Te Hapua Halswell Centre
May 30 @ 7:30 AM – 9:00 AM

 

There has been a lot happening with Israel and Antisemitism since our last meeting.  To name a few:

  1. The ICC prosecutor announces he is seeking arrest warrants for Israeli and Hamas leaders.
  2. ICJ orders Israel to stop Rafah assault.
  3. Spain, Ireland and Norway formally recognize Palestine as a state.
  4. A Christchurch teachers decides to go on a hunger strike hoping to pressure NZ’s government to push harder for a ceasefire.
  5. The US completes its kitset wharf and additional aid flows into Gaza.
  6. New evidence shows Hamas is diverting the aid so that it can profit by selling it on the black market.
  7. The Rafah assault continues in earnest.  Hamas is starting to show more enthusiasm for a ceasefire.

After the briefing and Q&A we will be holding our Annual General Meeting (AGM), a pivotal event in our calendar. Here’s why you should attend:

  1. Transparency and Accountability: The AGM provides a transparent platform where we share our achievements, challenges, and financial performance. Your participation ensures accountability.
  2. Shape Our Future: Your voice matters! At the AGM, you can contribute ideas, vote on key decisions, and help shape our strategic direction for the coming year.
  3. Community Bonding: Connect with fellow members, volunteers, and our passionate team. Forge new relationships and celebrate our collective impact.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR: 7.30pm, Thursday, MAY 30.  Hao Room, Halswell Centre, 341 Halswell Rd, Christchurch.

Together, let’s continue our mission of fighting racism and intolerance through raising awareness of Jewish history and culture. We look forward to seeing you!

CANCELLED CHRISTCHURCH MEETING: June 18, 7.30pm @ Halswell Centre, Pihaurau Room
Jun 18 @ 7:30 PM

The four rescued hostages being reunited with their families. Heartwarming.

Hi Folks

Because it looks like our June 7 mail out of our newsletter wasn’t received, we’ve decided to call off tomorrow night’s meeting.

If you are aware of another member who receives the newsletter by snail mail, please get in touch and let them know.

We will be making this announcement on Facebook, Instagram and our website too.

In the meantime, we’ll investigate why the email might be in our “Sent Items” folder, it didn’t make it to our members.

Apologies for the inconvenience

 

Hi Folks

Our next meeting in Christchurch is on Tuesday, 7.30pm at the Halswell Centre, 349 Halswell Rd, Christchurch.

Our focus will be:

• The inside information about the rescue of the four hostages last weekend and how that gives hope for rescuing more hostages.
• Jordan Peterson and John Spencer on what urban warfare means and how that has shaped the IDF’s conduct in Gaza.

As always, admission is a plate of finger food, please no pork or seafood products.

See you there!
