The Coalition Of Ministers Supporting Israel Responds To Sanctions Of Israeli Ministers
We call on the New Zealand Government to show parity by sanctioning those on the Palestinian side who continually call for the destruction of Israel. This includes all who chant 'from the River to the Sea Palestine will be free', interpreted by many to be a call for the destruction and end of the State of Israel. COMS-Israel recognises the inalienable right of the Jewish people to build their communities on their historical heartland in Judea and Samaria (West Bank), and we pray that the Palestinians will return to the negotiating table and attempt to work out an amicable solution with the Israelis. Unilateral decisions at the United Nations will not produce a real resolution to this conflict, but only a solution agreed upon by both parties. We call upon the New Zealand Government to respect the right of the Israeli Defence Forces to do all that is necessary to rescue their surviving hostages in Gaza. The blame for the suffering in Gaza, as terrible as it is, must be laid at the feet of the terrorists in Gaza and those who support them. While member states of the U.N. continually put a ceasefire ahead of the release of all hostages held in Gaza, Israel rightfully puts the priority the other way around – the release of the hostages first. We consider this to be fair and just.

COMS-Israel Condemns Capital's Antisemitic Graffiti
Press Release – COMS Israel We call on all institutions to loudly condemn it and to support our Jewish Community in New Zealand. The Coalition of Ministers Supporting Israel in New Zealand joins others in condemning the overnight manifestation of Jewish hate in our nation's capital. This show of antisemitism is unacceptable and reflects the sort of rhetoric you would have seen in Nazi Germany over eighty years ago. What begins as graffiti on a wall ends up on the lips of sympathizers, which then morphs into physical harm against the targets of such rhetoric. This is the lesson of the Holocaust and we call on all institutions to loudly condemn it and to support our Jewish Community in New Zealand. COMS-Israel is a group of Church Ministers in New Zealand who come from Pentecostal, Baptist, Brethren, Polynesian, Presbyterian, Anglican and other churches who support the right of the Jewish State of Israel to protect its homeland. We currently have 96 ministers on our list.
