Oceanian MPs incriminate Zionist Regime
By Kourosh Ziabari

The flames of anti-Israeli remarks and movements by the independent political parties, NGOs, student coalitions and governments worldwide has been ignited with the unprecedented and inciting rhetoric of some influential political personalities and Members of Parliaments in different countries following the inattentiveness of Zionist authorities to the issuance of ceasefire resolution by the UN Security Council.

Israel, which has reportedly killed more than 800 Gazan civilians since the commencement of its belligerent onslaught in the 2008 mid-December, is provoking more anger and hatred toward itself by committing new types of unacceptable war crimes in the region and paying the least heeds to the frequent calls of international community on the immediate cessation of its military operations on defenseless civilians.

The upheaval of anti-Israeli utterances by the politicians, journalists, university professors, statesmen and citizens worldwide, even inside the cities of occupied territories and on behalf of the residing Jews can simply visualize the depth of disaster in Gaza.

In an exclusive interview with Tehran Times, a high-ranking member of New Zealand Parliament condemned the inaction of his affiliated government about the continuance of calamitous situation in Gaza.

Keith Locke, the member of New Zealand Parliament and a representative of Green Party criticized the state of New Zealand and demanded an immediate and unconditional action of NZ state to help ending the ongoing crisis in Gaza: “I question the New Zealand government’s failure to strongly criticize Israel’s massive military assault on the people of Gaza. What the Israeli government constitutes war crimes under international law and cannot be justified.”

The representative of Auckland city in the NZ parliament blamed the ineffectiveness of UNSC due to the designation of veto right to U.S. authority in his exclusive interview with Tehran Times: “The Green Party says that proper solutions to this crisis can unfortunately not be found through the United Nations because the U.S. supports Israel and has veto power.”

“The Greens believe the stance of most Western powers towards a nuclear-free Middle East is hypocritical because they put sanctions on Iran, which hasn’t developed nuclear weapons, yet ignore Israel’s nuclear arsenal” Said Keith Locke while lambasting the pro-Israeli bias in western media.

Locke has participated in an anti-Israeli demonstration in New Zealand last week where he first blasted the government of NZ for its inaction and passive stance toward the Gaza massacre and told the media: “It is clearly a war crime for the Israeli government to target mosques, universities, TV stations, police stations, government buildings and the private homes of political leaders” Locke believes that the NZ government “Fiddles” while the people of Gaza are under fire.

“New Zealand should be providing some moral leadership amid an insipid response from other Western nations. The Bush administration is backing Israel’s murderous assault, and European nations are restricting themselves to calling on both sides to cease fire” he stressed sharply, “ It also makes a mockery of New Zealand’s participation in a ‘war on terror’ to allow such obvious state terrorism to pass without comment.”

An Australian voice

In a more conservative approach toward the issue, an Australian MP and representative of New South Wales Legislative Council, recapitulated by condemning the abominable usage of force and ongoing military assault of Israel against the defenseless people of Gaza.

In his exclusive talk to Tehran Times, Ian Cohen reiterated that there is no justification for the incapability of UN to impose its resolution on Israel except the Realpolitik of the day which is to the advantage of situations for the advantage of particular nation states. He called the failure of UN to reach a comprehensive consensus for ending the massacre of Gaza a “tragedy and anarchy in the international level.”
