It’s not enough just to stand on the sidelines, it’s not enough just to give your sympathy or your thoughts.

The only reason why evil can persist is if good people stand by and do nothing. 

Freedom is not free.

This is the time to act.

Things you can do for Israel and all Jews 

1. Join a march or vigil near you

This is one of the most visible displays of support for Israel.  A pro-Israel march is peaceful and thought provoking.  Not filled with anger and abuse.  Certainly not calling for the destruction of Arabs.

Check out our events section of this website and our Facebook page to find one near you.  

If there isn’t one near you, this is an opportunity for you to organize one.  When you do, let us know and we’ll help promote it.

We’re looking for coordinators in towns and cities all over New Zealand.

2. Donate to the Billboard Campaign

And another in Auckland:

3. Join a prayer meeting

No matter what your religion, there are groups all over the country who are praying for regional peace, and the safety of Israel and Jewish people all over the world.

If you’re that way inclined, then keep an eye on our events section to find one near you and go. If there isn’t one in your area, you could start one. If you do, let us know and we’ll promote it here.

If you know of a prayer meeting for Israel and we don’t list it. Let us know and we’ll promote it.

4. Sign petitions, open letters and declarations

In a democracy, politicians are guided by public opinion. But how do they know the mind of the community they represent, if you don’t show it?

Signing, petitions, open letters, and public declarations is one way that you can.

Here are the parliamentary petitions currently underway. Notice something?

There isn’t one that is in support of Israel or against Anti-Semitism. You could start one. If you do, let us know and we’ll promote it here.

Click here to read the October Declaration Oceania and if you agree with its message, sign it. We’ve checked it out and it’s kosher.

5. Meet with your member of Parliament

Sounds scary but all MPs make themselves available to meet members of their community. But treat it as casually as you can, and over a cup of tea, explain how Israel and its people share our values, we value democracy, freedom of speech, and religion, and we believe in building societies where people have a chance to get ahead, without being judged for their race, religion, and color.

How tough is that? Make the time and go do it. Remember that MPs want to represent their constituents. This is your chance to influence politicians and even foreign policy. Be authentic, and share from the heart.

You can do it.

6. Join NZ Friends of Israel

We can only do so much as individuals. But when we pool our ideas and resources, get connected and throw our shoulders behind it, we can move mountains, fight evil and win.

Annual Membership is only NZD 40, less than a magazine subscription. But it pays for this website, the production of our newsletter and the rent for meetings of members.

If you’d like to join up, click here.

7. Any other ideas?

As you read the ideas we’ve listed, you might have had a lightbulb moment of your own.  Feel free to write it down in the comments section below.
