GUEST BLOG: Lois Griffiths – We hear the cry of our Children on The Daily Blog

Please TAKE ACTION RIGHT NOW and send your letter to the UN Office of the Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide and the International Criminal Court Prosecutor.

The cruelty inflicted on all Palestinians is obscene, including in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Israel itself. In the West Bank, farmers are being denied access to their land and their water sources. Palestinians face constant violence from heavily armed Israeli soldiers, police and ‘settlers’. Children are kidnapped from their homes in the middle of the night by Israeli IDF. East Jerusalem Palestinians are being squeezed out. In Israel, Bedouin villages that existed and paid taxes before there even was an Israel, are being destroyed to be replaced by Jewish only settlements.
 But in Gaza the situation is even worse . Noam Chomsky has described  Israeli control over  Gaza as ‘sadistic.’ Israeli historian Ilan Pappé has said, ‘incremental genocide’. The UN  has said that Gaza will be unliveable by 2020.
The Church leaders emphasise the urgency, the vital need for action NOW, by invoking the Greek work kairos. The Greeks had 2 words for time, chronos being chronological time and kairos meaning the propitious moment for immediate action.

Prime Minister of New Zealand: Stand against Israeli Genocide – Expel the Israeli Ambassador

Time to send Israel a message loud and clear! We can see through your deception and lies. We see your oppression and tyranny. Your crimes against Palestinians, against innocent and defenceless women and children will not go unanswered. 2 months ago Israel rejected New Zealand’s ambassador simply because he is a representative to the Palestinian people. New Zealand has always stood proudly for its principles. We ask you to tell John Key, Prime Minister of New Zealand, to expel the Israeli ambassador.
