A multi-cultural event was held in Auckland\u2019s Waipuna Lodge last weekend to celebrate Israel\u2019s 70th anniversary. It was supported by representatives of Christian, Jewish, M\u0101ori, Pacific and Indian groups. Organiser Bryce Turner, National Executive Director, Christians for Israel NZ stated,<\/p>\n
The Israel70 project has developed as an opportunity for New Zealand and our South Pacific communities to once again stand with Israel and celebrate the anniversary of its independence. It is an occasion to recognise Israel\u2019s remarkable achievements and the contributions it has made to the world in just 70 years.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
