"The organization that represents New Zealand's Jewish community has joined with other supporters of Israel in the country in condemning the New Zealand government's support of a Unites Nations resolution against Israeli settlements, local media reported.

New Zealand was one of four co-sponsors of the resolution adopted by the UN Security Council last Friday, which declared that Israeli settlements in the West Bank 'have no legal validity and constitute a flagrant violation under international law.'

In a letter to Prime Minister Bill English on Thursday, the New Zealand Jewish Council, along with 26 other groups and hundreds of individuals, called on him to make a public statement on the resolution and its implications.

They insisted that the resolution 'violated the right of Jewish self-determination' and required that land where there had been a continual Jewish presence for thousands of years 'become Jew-free.'"
