Here is a calendar of upcoming events, up and down the country. Some are organized by us, others by like-minded organizations and groups.
We would like to inform you of a Peace Rally that is being organised in Wellington.
WHEN: 12pm, Friday July 18th
WHERE: Midland Park, Cnr of Johnston Street and Lambton Quay, Wellington 6011
PURPOSE: This is a rally in support of Israel’s right and responsibility to defend her citizens. Israel was never the aggressor in this conflict, but the defender.
WHAT TO BRING: There is a chance of rain so bring jacket and/or umbrella.
You can read more about it here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1483996181843645/. Here are some additional details:
- The Theme/Slogan for this event is: “New Zealanders support the right of Israel to live in peace”
- Placards and banners must support this theme.
- We do not want to venture into anything negative about Palestinians or Hamas. this will only serve to steal away from the positive message of peace.
- We encourage everyone to bring as many New Zealand and Israel flags as possible. We want there to be mix of both.
- We are aiming for the high road; no shouting and of course, no violence. We will operate in the opposite spirit.
- If Pro-Palestinian protesters catch wind of our rally and try to disturb us, we would like our response to be one of silence. If they come close and begin shouting, we have agreed we will all turn our backs towards them and continue as best we can with our rally. Not shouting matches, no eyeballing, opposite spirit.
Feel free to pass this message on to other friends and supporters of Israel in the Wellington area.
If you have any further questions, please contact Tony Martin (kingscause@gmail.com).
It’s that time of the year again folks.
Please submit nominations for Committee members and President one week beforehand, being 5pm Sunday 14 August.
After the formalities are over, we will be showing the movie “The Concert.”
“The Concert” is a 2009 French comedy-drama film by Radu Mihăileanu, starring Aleksei Guskov, Mélanie Laurent and Miou-Miou.
It is about the redemption of a former world-famous conductor of the Bolshoi Theatre orchestra, known as “The Maestro,” Andrey Simonovich Filipov, who had had his career publicly broken by Leonid Brezhnev for defending Jewish musicians and is reduced to working as a mere janitor in the theatre where he once conducted, becoming an alcoholic in the process.
It won the Best Original Score and Best Sound awards at César Awards 2010. It was also nominated for two Magritte Awards in the category of Best Film in Coproduction and Best Editing for Ludo Troch in 2011, and Best Foreign Film at the 68th Golden Globe Awards.
Please bring a plate of finger food. We’d be grateful if you avoided pork or seafood products.
