Does your Kiwisaver fund invest in any of these companies which support Israel’s brutal oppression of Palestinians? Your job is to find out today…

1. I’d like to see SuperFund challenged.
   I think they’ve been questioned before about their investments in several Israeli banks , but the issue should be brought up again.
   Superfund could be asked to check the entire list provided here. SuperFund invests in the US Motorola Solutions Inc for example.

   Israel Chemicals is not on the list. I’ve challenged Superfund about their investment in Israel Chemicals because of their making white phosphorus.

   Profiteering from human misery is obscene.

   • Go for it Lois

   • More corporate links to Israel ,,,, the tentacles spread far and wide …

     ” News Corp companies in Australia have extensive commercial arrangements with multinational oil and gas corporations. They take big advertising dollars, although how big remains a secret. Their newspapers stage “roundtables” or corporate conferences at which journalists and executives mingle with fossil fuel executives. Yet, rival media Nine Entertainment and its Australian Financial Review masthead does the same.

     Where News is different is in Murdoch’s direct financial interest in oil and gas exploration in the Middle East, investments which also compromise New Corp’s coverage of Middle East politics and Israeli expansionism.

     Murdoch has aligned himself with fossil fuel interests globally via the American Australian Association (AAA), and Genie Oil and Gas. Genie oil and gas is a division of Genie Energy and has been involved plans to frack in Israel. Its big project now, however, is exploring for oil in the Golan Heights, which is disputed territory once controlled by Syria.”

   • I’m sure you’ll meet with the same result as your previous BDS campaign…complete failure. Nobody’s going to boycott Israel because they need their brilliant, innovative technology. Thrown away your cellphone yet, Lois? Most of the tech for it was developed in Israel, after all.

     • Just to be clear. In what nation was the on-cell capacitor, microchip and cell towers invented?

       • This is why your ‘BDS’ will never succeed.

3. This has all the stench of Nazi Germany about it. The UNHRC is a joke; the world’s most powerful nation, the US, has withdrawn from it; nobody takes it seriously because all it does is hyperscrutinise Israel and ignore the real human rights abusers, destroying any credibility it might have. BDS against Israel is losing on every front. They tried this tactic in Europe recently, boycotting Judean produced Israeli wines, and the bottles sold out in minutes. Thanks for the must-have shopping list, Minto.

   • @ gaby. Please. You’re embarrassing yourself.
     Some friendly advice…
     That toothy thing below your nose? That’s called a mouth. You should always engage your brain before opening your mouth. Look it up. It’s common knowledge.

   • How much are you paid to write this shit Gaby.

   • Israel and the right wing extremist war criminals are where most people see and smell the nazi stench ,,,, your smelling your own sort gabby.

     • And you lot call using your brains spewing out foul abuse?????? As usual, not a cogent rebuttal in sight because you have literally got nothing….except hatred and antisemitism. You can’t even work out that those listed companies employ thousands of Palestinians, the people you say you support…which proves that all you are about is trying to hurt Jews. Jesus wept.

       • There’s lots of foul nazi like abuse by bad faith Zionists on display in the videos I’ve linked to Gabbo ,,,,, and your lack of cogent rebuttal stands out as large as your hypocrisy….

         Your much like the ugly nasty types highlighted in the video link I posted ….

         Calling out the genuine peace activists as Nazis ,,,,, Jesus wept indeed.

         • Lol you can’t even construct a sentence properly.

         • I loathe bad grammar: It’s ‘You’re much…’.Clearly you don’t know your contracted verbs from your possessive pronouns. And you really should cease mindlessly absorbing all the dross on those manically antisemitic websites. It’s doing your head in.

           • youtube is a “manically antisemitic website” ??????

             Grammar nazi is a moron …..

             Anyway james / gaby, seeing as you’ve got yourself a three week ban from TS and will probably be posting here a bit.

             Whats your views on miscegenation ,,, and Israel.

             ” a desire to keep the Jewish people, (are they thinking Jewish race?) untainted by the non-kosher gene pool of the goyim, to keep us Jews, (by whatever definition) pure. As soon as someone starts talking about racial purity, I get nervous. The Jewish only mixers features performances, a wine tasting, folk dancing and camping under the header of “back to the Palmach and the Irgun,” two Zionist paramilitary groups that were involved in ethnically cleansing 750,000 indigenous Palestinians in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. The messaging is not subtle.” https://mondoweiss.net/2019/02/standard-discussing-israeli/

       • and made it known this was my reason for doing so.

         • where’s the rest of my comment????????????????????

4. Seeing as my Kiwisaver has been going up in leaps and bounds I presume I am somehow supporting those industrious and innovative Israelis.

   ….and will continue to do so

   • I suppose that is fine so long as you don’t mind having blood on your hands!

   • innovative ???? yeah sure Angry Andy , if thats what you call holocaust survivors living in poverty ,,,,, in right wing Israel

     • Fringe conspiracy theorists with ancient anti Semitic tropes will not help the Palestinians…. do you want to help them? Or do you just hate Israel? Because if you want to help, spreading embarrassingly stupid YouTube videos will not get you heard.

       • Your talking rubbish monkey Matt ( your the speak no evil monkey ) ….

         The videos are about the horrors and crimes going on withing modern Israel,,,, and made by Jewish people who live there ….

         Covering up for crimes and racism by extreme Zionists, as you seem to be attempting,,,,, is covering up for the murder and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.

         Why don’t you have a go at justifying miscegenation from the fact filled video on modern Israel I posted up ,,,,, 25 minute mark: https://youtu.be/ew13LfxrTa8

5. This week the Israeli military blocked off the West Bank’s only direct export route.
   The Israeli military blocked Palestinian agricultural exports on Sunday in the latest escalation of a months- long trade war that comes amid fears of renewed violence as well.

   Following Defense Minister Naftali Bennett’s instruction, the military said it would not allow the Palestinians to transfer their products through their land crossing to Jordan, the West Bank’s only direct export route to the outside world.

   The Western-backed Palestinian Authority said Israeli forces at checkpoints blocked vegetable shipments that were in their way to export abroad. AP News Feb 10

6. “Israeli Blocking of Palestinian Exports to Jordan Shows the Reality of Apartheid”

   The Israeli government blockade on Palestinian agricultural exports through Jordan on Sunday illustrates the Apartheid character of Israeli rule over the Palestinians. Palestinian trucks loaded with produce were stopped by quickly-erected Israeli blast walls and forbidden to head into Jordan.

   The Palestine-Jordan trade in commodities such as vegetables, fruits, olives, olive oil, and dates is worth some $100 million a year.

   The step was ordered by Israeli minister of defense Naftali Bennett, who in that capacity is the chief of the Occupation Army ruling Palestine. His rationale is that the Palestinians on Feb. 2 ceased importing goods from Israel, so this measure is payback.

   The argument fails on a number of grounds, however. Most important, the Palestinian West Bank is under Israeli military occupation, and therefore is governed by the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 and the Hague Regulations of 1907. Full article by Juan Cole at this link

7. “Since its adoption over 50 years ago, Israel has violated the UN Security Council Resolution [242] by entrenching its occupation of the Palestinian territories through illegal settlements. Today there are 600,000 – 750,000 illegal settlers in the occupied Palestinian territories” Al Jazeera link with background info

8. This week in Palestine:
   On Sunday the West Bank’s export route was blocked. Trucks full of farm produce were sent back.
   On Monday morning Gaza was again under attack. The Israelis bombed eight sites near Gaza beach, including naval facilities. Link here
   On Tuesday a pre-dawn Israeli airstrike in Gaza killed a senior commander and his wife. Their two children were wounded, as were several others. This sparked retaliatory rocket fire into Israel.
   By Wednesday, seven Palestinians had died and 25 were wounded. 39 Israelis were wounded. Schools were closed on both sides, and non-essential workers were asked to stay home. Public gatherings were banned.
   On Wednesday Egypt stepped in to try and mediate, to de-escalate the situation. Link here
