Letters For Palestine
About Us
Hi. I am a Kiwi male born in the late 1950’s who lives in Auckland New Zealand.
Long ago, I used to be an unquestioning supporter of Israel. . . I had swallowed the zionist Hasbara Propaganda Narrative without really thinking or researching the issues
That is until about 30 years ago when I got into a debate with a friend about an event - The 1967 War. I said that it was Israel that was attacked by the Neighbors. . . And I said, "I would look it up and Prove it". . .
But. When you open the lid to that "Rabbits Hole", you can Never Look Back and accept the Israeli/zionist Narrative at face value ever again.
I was Proved Wrong. It was Israel which attacked the Neighbors. In a Deliberate progression of zionisms chase for "Lebensraum" which has been ongoing since 1948.
That lead me to ongoing research. . . Books from the Library here in Auckland. Researching issues on the internet – gotta love Google. Other books purchased on Kindle. Attending talks by visiting speakers on the issue of Palestine/Israel.
Some of the Books and Videos I have Read/Watched are on this site under the "Research List" and "Relevant Video" tabs. . .
I encourage you to take a look. At least watch Miko Peleds talk "The Generals Son". It is Very Informative.
I started to take action by posting on Blogs about the Palestine/Israel conflict but after a few years, I realized that it did not have the impact I desired. It was just trading references and information with people who either agreed with me or disagreed with me and were unlikely to change their minds.
It was then that I started writing emails to Politicians. I felt that if I could move the Politicians in New Zealand to see the truth, they may take action on the issue of Palestine/Israel as they did on South African Apartheid many years ago. Maybe we could be a leader in Human Rights again.
The first email took an age as I pondered over what to say again and again. Eventually, I plucked up the courage and just sent the email. Of course, as I wanted a response, it had two questions about New Zealand’s stance on the issue in it. The world did not end. A voice did not come out of the sky and chastise me.
What did happen is that the Politician Ignored my email.
So, after a week, I took the saved copy of my email and forwarded it to him again. This time asking for a Confirmation of Receipt and an Estimated Time for his reply.
I guess I embarrassed his Private Secretaries as they believe that they are Professionals. This time they replied within two hours confirming confirmation of Receipt of the email. Nowadays, I give them 24 hours to acknowledge receipt before sending it again.
It took a month but I did get my reply to my questions. Wishy Washy and partially pro Israel but I got answers.
So. What I found out is that it is Not Difficult to send an email to my Political Representatives. The hardest one is the first one. And if I ask for it, I can get replies to questions I ask them.
After that, when an issue came up that I felt concerned about, I no longer hesitated to write an email and send it to my Political Representatives. Always insisting on a reply to the questions I asked.
In 2017, I decided I wanted to take this Email writing one step further.
If I had been fearful of writing an email, others would probably also be fearful of writing an email and therefore it would hold them up communicating with their Political Representative.
That is when I decided to set up this website giving:
Because the fear of writing emails to Political Representatives will affect many people around the world, I made this site Universal. People from any country can look at the text of an issue and then decide to communicate with their Political Representatives.
Palestinians need our support beyond just getting upset about how they are treated and about the Killing and Maiming the Israeli Military are inflicting on them.
The Truth is slowly but surely seeing the Light of Day. Helped by You writing just one email. Then another one in 4 – 6 weeks time. And then another one 4 – 6 weeks after that.
It also includes you spreading the word about this site on Social Media so that more and more people start emailing their Politicians. It will start with a trickle building into a flow and then into a Torrent of emails which our Politicians will be unable to ignore.
So. Kia Kaha from Auckland New Zealand folks.
Take Action.
Kind regards
Neil

That is when I decided to set up this website giving:
- A Background to the conflict
- Information on how to write emails
- A list of Politicians email addresses
- A list of Ongoing issues and Urgent issues that can be communicated with your Political Representative
- Sample text for these issues which can be copied and pasted into an email You may choose to send
Because the fear of writing emails to Political Representatives will affect many people around the world, I made this site Universal. People from any country can look at the text of an issue and then decide to communicate with their Political Representatives.
