Will Key condemn Israel’s settlement construction and home demolition in Syria? – Auckland Palestine Human Rights Campaign
A New Zealand Government Press Release,dated 12 September 2016, states that New Zealand Prime Minister, John Key, will be travelling to New York for Leader’s Week,to “chair a Leader-level meeting of the Security Council aimed at focusing international attention on the conflict in Syria.”
Will John Key raise the question of Israel’s violations of international law, including the demolitions of homes and settlement building in Syria because, so far, the New Zealand Government has been silent on the subject. Tel Aviv has declared that Israel and the Golan are “part and parcel” and that the international community should get used to the fact. Israel is annexing the Syrian territory because, among other reasons, it holds major energy reserves that the Zionist state covets. The first home demolition took place last Wednesday and Al Marsad, the only human rights organisation in the Golan, reported that hundreds of Israeli police, accompanied by bulldozers, demolished the home of Bassam Ibrahim in Majdal Shams, the largest town in the Israeli-Occupied Syrian territory. Israel is pushing ahead with illegal settlement construction in the area. None of the Security Council’s members have taken any steps to require Israel to stop violating international law and their silence simply emboldens Israel.

Unable to refute the evidence of Israel’s gross violations of the Fourth Geneva Convention, Zionists cite examples, true or false, of wrong doing elsewhere, in the hope of diverting attention away from Israel. A “Jewish and democratic state” actually means necessarily privileging Jewish over non-Jewish citizens regarding the national flag, anthem, national holidays and immigration policy. Then there are Israel’s discriminatory laws – visit https://www.adalah.org/en/law/index. It isn’t just Palestinian Israelis that suffer discrimination. Non-European Jews in Israel also complain of unequal treatment, that’s Zionist anti-Semitism: https://thedailyblog.co.nz/2016/08/06/challenge-the-smears-its-zionism-thats-anti-semitic/

Really!
Islam doing the killing. of who – Palestinians?.
Who killed the near 1.5 million in Iraq and Afghanistan over the last decade and a bit.
You’re ranting.
John Key supports Israeli genocide and expansion into the wider middle East.
He does not represent NZ.
A conflict of interest prevents his representation of the NZ view.
He has brought us into the machinery of NATO without any mandate or even public announcement of intention to do so.
Another covert warmonger.
