Disclaimer:
Under the circumstances, Israel needs all the supporters it can get.
For this reason, we have agreed to circulate notices of pro-Israel events around the country whether they were organized by NZFOI or not.
Naturally, Israel supporters can come from quite diverse schools of thought so in sending this notice to you, it doesn’t mean we endorse everything someone else says or does.
In all things, graciousness and kindness go a long way.
