NZ STANDS UP WITH HAMAS AND JIHAD (Letter to Dom Post, Jan 4)


Gillian Feist (January 4) says the Palestinians are “dispossessed and occupied.” In case she’s wondering why America vetoed 40 previous resolutions supporting the Palestinians, she should recall that they are also terrorists. And that the “impoverished Gaza strip” has the money for rockets to fire at Israel. 
 
The UN requirement of Israel in 1967 was not to withdraw from all, but from unspecified “territories occupied”, leaving wriggle-room for the parties to peace settlements and a buffer state with which Israel could negotiate. But the Palestinians refuse to negotiate.

The UN itself should be discredited as dysfunctional for having given millions to UNRWA, an organisation which routinely incites Palestinian students to anti-semitism and terrorism. “Brave Murray McCully” (Dave Armstrong, Jan 2) and New Zealand have in fact stood up with the terrorists Hamas and Jihad, who promptly endorsed this damaging resolution. 
 
And how would Mary and Joseph have felt about going up to the Temple to present the Child Jesus, knowing that they were entering “occupied Palestinan territory”, and that as Jewish visitors to the Jewish Quarter they were now officially criminals?
