It is especially disturbing that you have decided to turn a blind eye to these actual human rights abuses when you made the decision earlier this year to divest from Israeli banks on the basis of severely flawed analysis and apparent lobbying from anti-Israel activists.\n\nThe double standards cannot enhance New Zealand&#039;s reputation among democratic countries and cannot be seen as &quot;ethical&quot;. Therefore, you have apparently acted completely against the direction of the Minister of Finance and made an embarrassment of our nation.\n\nI ask that you reconsider your decision to divest from Israeli banks and your decision to continue to invest in companies that are aiding a genocide.\n\nSincerely,<\/textarea><\/span><\/label>\n<\/p>\n<div style=\"display:none !important;\">\n\t<p><span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap\" data-name=\"MCtag\"><input size=\"40\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text\" aria-invalid=\"false\" value=\"ChallengeSuperFundHypocrisy\" type=\"text\" name=\"MCtag\" \/><\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><input class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-submit has-spinner\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" \/>\n<\/p><div class=\"wpcf7-response-output\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join us in calling on the Guardians to reverse their flawed decision to divest from Israeli banks and to address their hypocrisy by claiming to be &#8220;ethical investors&#8221; while supporting companies linked to gross human rights abuses.
