Dorothy, you make a highly disturbing analogy.

Thank God I live in Australia where I have the freedom to direct my own Superannuation into investments, such as Israeli ventures, that are returning great dividends. As opposed to NZ whose economy is being suffocated by the welfare state and the retired popultations dependency on the Government to fund their pension.

Israel does not need New Zealands politically stained superannuation funds. But New Zealand sure needs Israel’s technology, innovation, and life saving discoveries. Which of course can only be developed within secure borders, made possible by the separation fence.

So much for responsible investment. The NZ Government can enjoy their diminishing returns, and here’s hoping that neither Israel or Australia bails them out when their economy completely capitulates.

Elbit is highly ranked amongst its peers as a stock on Nasdaq ( Bloomberg)
Security must be the primary consideration for any investment, particularly when it concerns Government funding of retirees.
Elbit is an integral part of Australia’s defense, to the tune of many millions of dollars. A recent contract for Battle Management Systems for the ADF was worth in the vicinity of AUD$330M.(Defense Industry Daily, 16 March 2010) Is it possible that NZ could also be a beneficiary of Elbit technology?

It’s easy for the Kiwi’s, as their separation barrier is isolation and an ocean. Walk a mile in someone elses shoes Kiwi’s and then we’ll have a chat. I’m glad be bowled underarm!

In reply to Shirlee.. In our inconsequential corner of the world, governments of Australia and New New Zealand have said that they are no longer friends of Israel. Only Canada remains a friend on principle, all other supporters have an economic agenda.

It saddens me that NZ has begun to turn her back on her long time friend, Israel. They do not understand that it is not against Israel but also against the G-d of Israel . It is interesting that the many road deaths, earthquakes, tornadoes and other national damage that has occurs since NZ voted against Israel.
I have many Palestinian friends and know many in Jerusalem who are very happy they are under Israeli government, who have chosen Israeli IDs. Joel 3v3.. G-d says He judges those who divide up His Land and sadly NZ and Australia have just done that in their vote.

Well, little do they know what they do, the New Zealanders! Apart from anything else, objecting to building of the ‘Separation Barrier”, United Nations opinions not withstanding or otherwise, is tantamount to saying “bring on the suicide bombers”. Also, relying too heavily on United Nations opinions would make good, solid decision-making here nigh impossible.

And, Ben, the tide had turned against Israel long before the UN vote – what’s new? The world is becoming increasingly full of non-thinkers and real intelligence more and more rare.
