John Minto (PSNA) – David Cumin (IINZ) Debate

28 September, 2019

Kia ora Mike

The day of the great debate between David Cumin (IINZ) and John Minto (PSNA) is almost on us.

The debate topic is:
“Different Perspectives on Israel”

It is incredibly rare for a public debate on Palestine/Israel to occur and this is a unique opportunity for both sides to front and argue the issue.

The debate came about after John challenged Dr Cumin to a debate (via the letters section in the Christchurch Press newspaper) after Cumin claimed the Middle East situation was very complicated. It is common for Zionist supporters of Israel to claim the situation is complex – it’s a key tactic used to discourage legitimate criticism of Israel.

Please come … your support on the night is welcomed. And bring a friend !

The debate is on:

  • 7:00 pm
  • Thursday 3 October
  • Owen Glenn Building – University of Auckland
  • There is Parking in the car park under building. It costs just $6.00 after 5:00 pm. Access to the car park is off Grafton Road – see map below.
  • Room 051
    • Take elevator from the basement car parks to level “0”
    • Step out of the elevator and walk a few steps forward into the hallway and turn Left
    • Walk along the hallway for a bout 25 meters or just before you come to the open area
    • Room 051 is on the left. Someone will be there to indicate the door.

For $6.00 for parking, this debate is cheaper than a movie and will be way more interesting.

Are you able to donate a cup of coffee a month to the campaign?
Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa will need some serious money to make our campaign as effective as possible. For example, we will need somewhere in the vicinity of $25,000 to bring speakers to New Zealand over the next year and organise large public meetings to help spread the message.

You can help. Are you able to donate a cup of coffee a month to the campaign? In other words, can you afford to make an automatic payment of $5 per month to support the Palestinian struggle? (If you can afford more that would be great!)
