Letters For Palestine
Latest PSNA Letter to action
We asked the government to stop buying weapons from a crooked Israeli company but almost four months on and no response from the minister’s office.
Come on minister, sort it out!
Come on minister, sort it out!
We need your help!
For almost four months new Minister of Defence Peeni Henare’s office has stalled replying to our request they stop purchasing military equipment from Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems Limited – a notorious international lawbreaker which “battle-tests” its weapons on Palestinians. Four separate requests and reminders have been sent from PSNA but nothing in response.
We need you to help us get the right response from the Minister.
Please copy and paste this email to the minister now.

Kia ora Mr Henare,
Stop the double standards in government
Please respond urgently to my request the government cease all purchases from notorious Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit Systems Limited.
Elbit Systems helped build Israel’s “apartheid wall” which was declared illegal under international law by the International Court of Justice in 2003.
The New Zealand Superfund and ACC have withdrawn investments from Elbit Systems because of this but in a spectacular double standard the Defence Force has continued buying weapons from this crooked company which “battle-tests” them on Palestinians. This must stop.
For almost four months your office has failed to respond to numerous requests for action on this. I request you respond without further delay.
Regards,
