PALMERSTON NORTH: AFTER OCT 7 ISRAEL NEEDS OUR LOVE – March 23

After October 7, Israel needs your Love

Livestream: 23/03/2024 Tony Kan Friends for Israel – YouTube

The October 7 Massacres were a turning point in Israel’s relations against Gaza.

Hamas’ brutality, its targetting of women for rape, disfigurement, its indiscriminant execution and torture of civilians horrified the world.

Hundreds of hostages were taken.

In this latest conflict, everything is being turned upside down.

Hamas has turned homes into battlefield cover, civilians into shields and even UN agencies into extensions of its own organization.

Now months later, it is Israel that is being vilified and not Hamas.

Today, chants such as “K– the Jews! F– the Jews! G– the Jews!” can be heard and nothing is done about it.

October 7 has launched a wave of Anti-Semitism across the world and New Zealand is caught up in it too.

For us New Zealanders, for Christians, for Jews, for Atheists, for Muslims, for anyone who believes in justice, what does this mean?  What is our connection to the modern state of Israel?  Why should we care? And if we care, what should we do?

If what you have seen through the news has stirred something inside you, and you’ve been wanting to know what you can do about it then join us on Saturday, March 23, 2.30 pm at Church on Vogel.

Please bring a plate of finger food.  We’d be grateful if you didn’t include any pork or seafood products.
