“Thank you for bringing democracy to Chile” Margaret Thatcher, speaking to Pinochet.
She trumpeted the word, but doesn’t even understand what it means.

Comment on GPJA Letter to David Shearer re Super Fund Investments by Martin Hanson

In the book ‘Solving 911′ by Christopher Bollyn, the author presents compelling evidence that the attacks of 911 were planned and organised by Mossad as a false flag operation to garner hatred and fear of Muslims, and thereby support for Israel. Zionists occupy so many key positions in the U.S. media, government and finance that it is probably not an exaggeration to conclude that the United States has been internally colonised by Israel. Given that New Zealand, like other vassals, does what it is told by the United States I have little confidence that any New Zealand politician will dare to do what John Minto urges. A first step would be for John to acquaint himself with the facts about 911, as presented by Architects and Engineers for 911 Truth.

The Palestine Human Rights Campaign Aotearoa/New Zealand applauds this GPJA initiative. We feel sure that this will encourage more people to join the growing number of individuals and organisations who are supporting the Palestinian Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign.

Yes, I agree that we might not expect such ready compliance from Westfield re BDS. However, this is NZ and we, the people, can and readily do, operate in our own right as an agency-for-change. Given sufficient BDS pressure, Westfield, as would all retailers, eventually succumb, particularly if a threat to their profit-making is imminent. Putting the pressure on local area smaller retailers, say, as a consciousness-raising exercise could be a very effective organisational BDS tactic.In the meantime all eyes are on Westfield and their response.

Appreciated but, kindly note that Westfield is owned by am Australian Jewish group and I doubt if they would support the boycott of Israeli products. Tuma

As I said, above, “So too with other stores where ‘Produced in Israel’ exists.” Are there “No to Israeli Apartheid” leaflets available ? If so, from where ? Would be keen to do an audit of retailers in a couple of suburbs in Auckland … maybe direct action could concentrate on that too ?

Well done Mr Minto. BDS with Westfield in its sights is LONG overdue. Not only is the presence of this “Israeli” company an affront in itself but the manner in which their employees attempt to solicit customers is nothing short of harassment. Ignoring such approaches is not enough. Challenging their presence is desperately needed. So to with other stores where “Produced in Israel exists. “No to Israeli Apartheid” leaflets would help, among other direct action.
