Newsletter No 151

Kia ora koutou,

Thanks so much to everyone for the great response to the newsletter last week – we have many letters from supporters now going to every MP in parliament and Obela Hommus is on the run…

Keep piling on the pressure this week…

But firstly, have a look at this excellent video where the US Ambassador to New Zealand John Udall is called out by Christchurch activist Ben Vorderegger. The US ambassador was having coffee in Addington, Christchurch with Parliament’s speaker Gerry Brownlee and National MP Hamish Campbell.

US Ambassador to New Zealand John Udall


Now join in the action with this newsletter checklist:

1) Have you written your letter to MPs yet?

If not, please read the first item in the newsletter below with simple instructions what to do. If you have written one already then why not write another one this week?

2)  Have you sent a letter of complaint to your local supermarket about them selling Obela Hommus yet?

The yellow sticker will be available at your branch next week.

Watch this video of action inside Pak ‘n Save in Ōtautahi/Christchurch.  https://www.instagram.com/reel/C_GAZSFgGuS/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

The two main supermarket chains are

Foodstuffs: New World, Pak ‘n Save, 4 Square
Woolworths: Countdown and Fresh Choice

You can write a letter of complaint – a sample letter is below – and hand it in at your local supermarket or you can use a complaint form such as the one below for Woolworths.

Sample letter of a complaint to your local supermarket

Kia ora,

I am asking you to withdraw Obela Hommus from your shelves because it is supporting the genocide in Gaza. Obela is owned by the Strauss Group in Israel which helps finance and provides “care packages” for Israeli troops involved in genocide in Gaza.

It is unacceptable to have such a product in the store, particularly as the International Court of Justice ruled last month that Israel’s occupation of Palestine is unlawful and that all countries should end any “aid or assistance” to Israel to maintain its illegal occupation.

Selling Israeli products in New Zealand supermarkets is assisting the Israeli economy and provides the very assistance which enables the occupation to continue.

Please stop selling this product which assists genocide and assists Israel to continue its occupation of in Palestine.

Please get back to me without unnecessary delay.

<your address etc>

 If not do so now!

4) Please put this poster on your social media pages.

World soccer body FIFA is due to announce shortly if it will expel Israel. Help it do the right thing and end apartheid Israel’s involvement in international soccer and international sport.


National campaign: Letters to all Members of Parliament!

Soon every Member of Parliament will be talking about Palestine!  Here’s our plan for how we will do it.

  • First, we will flood the offices of every MP with letters about Palestine.  Below is a letter writing guide to help you take action.

  • Second, on September 6 and surrounding days, we will have a Nation-Wide day of action against the National Party!  We will have protests outside their offices wherever possible.

Below is all the information you need to get started.  For this week, the focus is on getting letters and having organizers start planning for September 6.

 

Guide to writing a letter to all Members of Parliament!
The PSNA is holding a campaign to flood Parliament with letters for Palestine.   

 

How it works:
All you need to do is write a ONE-page letter and send it to freepalestinenow20230@gmail.com

The letter can be hand-written and scanned or a word document/PDF.  Hand-written letters have the most impact.

 

We will then print 123 copies of it, add a cover letter to it, and send it to Parliament to be distributed.


If you wish to print and send your letter yourself, you can find instructions here: https://www.parliament.nz/en/get-involved/have-your-say/contact-an-mp/

 

In this case all you need to do is:

·         print 123 copies of your letter,

·         add a covering letter asking to distribute one copy to every MP,

·         Put them all (123 copies) into a single Envelope – A C4 envelope will hold them all

·         Send it to Parliament’s physical address. (see below)

·         NO STAMPS NEEDED – MESSAGES TO MPs ARE POSTAGE FREE.

 

Address:

·         All members of Parliament 
·         Care of Distribution Services 
·         Freepost Parliament
·         Private Bag 18 888
·         Parliament Buildings 
·         Wellington 6160 

What to say:
The most important things are to make the letter uniquely your own, to call for action for Palestine, and to address all Members of Parliament.  Your letter will not just be read by one Party - every single MP will read it!

If you wish you can talk a little bit about yourself and give some background information on who you are.

Here’s some useful things you might talk about regarding Palestine: 

  • The genocide has been ongoing for 76 years, but has been at its worst since October 7th last year

  • The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has repeatedly spoken out against Israel including in the recent ruling on 19 July which declared Israel’s occupation in Palestine illegal.

  • The ICJ has stated that acquiring territory through war is illegal, and the settlements on Palestinian land are also illegal under international law.

  • Respecting international law means respecting the rights of Palestinians to their land.

  • The ICJ has ruled that Israel’s continued presence in Occupied Palestinian territory is unlawful and Israel must withdraw “as rapidly as possible.” Israel says it will ignore the ICJ.

  • International law is on our side.

  • New Zealand needs to get our troops out of Yemen. Why are we attacked people pressuring Israel to end the genocide in Gaza?

  • We need to act to ensure that New Zealand companies like Rakon cannot provide components to Israel for weapons.

  • We need to take strong action boycotting, divesting, and sanctioning Israel.

  • New Zealand needs to actively support South Africa’s International Court of Justice case of genocide against Israel.

  • We need to recognize the state of Palestine.

  • We need to increase funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) which is by far the most effective deliverer of aid in Gaza.

  • Over 15,0000 children have been killed - and this is still climbing.

  • Over 40,000 Palestinians have been killed with many thousands more missing under the rubble.

Use whatever information here you find useful, or use your own information. Variety to the letters is a good thing, so make the letter your own!

Call for an end to genocide in Palestine! Call for the end of Israel’s impunity for war crimes! Call for New Zealand to speak up and end our complicity though silence!

To sum up:
Write a ONE page letter that every MP will see and send it to freepalestinenow20230@gmail.com and we will get it sorted for printing and send it off.

Or if you wish, you can send it off yourself following the instructions above.


Nation-Wide day(s) of action: September 6

On September 6 (or close to it, if your centre cannot do September 6), we all want to be protesting National MPs.

At this stage we need organizers beginning to scope out what they can do and planning their protests. The first step is to find out what National MPs are in your electorate or nearby electorates:

https://www.govt.nz/browse/engaging-with-government/members-of-parliament/

Once you know which electorate MPs from the National Party are nearby, find their office and start planning a protest!  It is often a good idea to walk by in person to plan it out.  We are encouraging each centre to take their own approach to the protest, as each centre has unique capabilities and skills.

If you need any advice in planning this, please don’t hesitate to contact ShantiZA@gmail.com to ask for advice.  He has been working with our national strategy team to put together these events and has been running protests at MP’s offices in Christchurch.

If you don’t have a local National MP, feel free to get in touch and we can discuss ideas for what you might be able to do.

Rakon support for genocide in Gaza questioned at the company AGM this week

PSNA National Secretary Neil Scott attended the Rakon Limited AGM this morning to ask about the company’s provision of weapons components used in Israel’s slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza.
 
A picket of the AGM by PSNA supporters took place outside at the same time.
 
Rakon is well known as an exporter of crystal oscillators for use in guided munitions. These components are sent to US weapons manufacturers which build the weapons which are then sent to Israel for use in its ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people of Gaza.
 
In recent months Rakon has tried to muddy the water on this issue by saying it doesn’t know where its components end up but this is wilful ignorance at best. It flies in the face of the company’s stated desire to be the world leader in provision of crystal oscillators for US weapons manufacturers.
 
The company tried to avoid being questioned by insisting questions be sent through before the meeting to be vetted by the company.
 
The question sent in by Neil is this:
 Has the Rakon Board, and/or its senior management team, factored in the potential damage to Rakon as a company for supplying components for Munitions used by the Israeli military to commit Genocide in Gaza?
 
Neil then asked the question in the meeting.

The response by Rakon was to refer to their Media stament which can be found here.

This is what it says:
"Rakon does not design or manufacture weapons. We do not supply products to Israel for weapons, and we are not aware of our products being incorporated into weapons which are provided to Israel."

The question of whether they Know if Any of the Munitions that Israel uses to commit Genocide in Gaza has Rakon components in them met with a response again, and again and again to refer to the Media position.

I asked one Rakon representative, "Can you absolutely Deny that Any Rakon components are in the munitions that Israel uses to commit Genocide in Gaza".

He Refused to answer that question. He went back to the Generic look at the Media Statement.

I suspect that Rakon, a company full of researchers and Innovators has the ability to consider if any of its customers manufacture munitions that have been used by Israel in Gaza

And I think that if they were Honest, rather than using "Plausible Deniability" they may Know the truth.

PS. Ignorance of the use of their components would hold No Sway at the International Criminal Court under Article 3(e) of the Genocide Convention

Genocide Convention Article III - The following acts shall be punishable:
(a) Genocide;
(e) Complicity in genocide.

Something that the Board and senior managers of Rakon should consider.

“NO OTHER LAND” – A Palestinian film showing at the New Zealand International Film Festival

Directed by Basel Adra, Hamdan Ballal, Yuval Abraham, Rachel Szor

"Produced by a Palestinian-Israeli collective, this is a film poised to meet a world changed by events that have unfolded since it wrapped production in October 2023. No Other Land documents a Palestinian village and its residents as they struggle against forced displacement. The West Bank’s Masafer Yatta faces mass evictions at hands of Israeli authorities. Yet this is as much a story of its own co-directors’ asymmetrical relationship, as it is an account of events in Masafer Yatta. The result is a masterful exploration of 21st century apartheid and colonisation." — Nadia Abu-Shanab

Are you able to donate a cup of coffee a month to the campaign?

We will need some serious money to make our campaign as effective as possible. For example, we will need somewhere in the vicinity of $25,000 to bring speakers to New Zealand over the next year and organise large public meetings to help spread the message.

You can help. Are you able to donate a cup of coffee a month to the campaign? In other words, can you afford to make an automatic payment of $5 per month to support the Palestinian struggle? (If you can afford more that would be great!)
