NZ’s West Bank genocide statement, released on X by Chris Luxon, comes in conjunction with Commonwealth and EU leaders as Israel tries to “Gaza” the West Bank. This statement is in line with NZ earlier imposing sanctions on two of Israel’s government ministers.
The Israeli genocide follows commands in the torah to cleanse the land of everyone who lived there before them.
Some examples of the genocide requirement:
Deut 7:16 You must destroy all the peoples the Lord your God gives over to you.
Deut 20:16 in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes.
Deut 25.19 When the Lord your God gives you rest from all the enemies around you in the land he is giving you to possess as an inheritance, you shall blot out the name of Amalek from under heaven. Do not forget!
As at this week, the last remaining Christian town in Palestine was surrounded by the IDF who are only letting new settlers in and out. https://savewestbankchristians.com/

The Israeli Government’s decision to publish construction tenders for the E1 settlement project is unacceptable. The international community has long opposed this settlement expansion, and has voiced their grave concerns privately and publicly. The E1 settlement will undermine the prospect of the two-state solution by driving a wedge through the West Bank and harming the territorial contiguity of the Palestinian Territories.
International law is clear that Israeli settlements in the West Bank are illegal. This is the position of the international community reaffirmed by the United Nations Security Council.
At a time of grave instability in the West Bank with unprecedented levels of violence by settlers against civilians, and serious restrictions on the Palestinian economy, this decision is even more concerning.
We urge the Government of Israel to retract these plans immediately and end its expansion of settlements in the West Bank. Not only will they take us further from peace, but they further undermine Israel’s international standing.
Businesses should not consider bidding for construction tenders. They should be aware of legal and reputational consequences including the risk of involving themselves in serious breaches of international law.
We reiterate our commitment to a comprehensive, just and lasting peace based on the two-state solution. We will continue to act in its interest.
