Civilised nations across the world, including UK, Australia, and USA, have seen fit to show solidarity with Israel at her time of grief, by lighting prominent buildings with Israel’s colours. Sydney Opera House, 10 Downing St, The Brandenburg Gate and buildings in Kyiv and the European Commission have responded appropriately after the worst slaughter and atrocities against Jews since the Holocaust.
Auckland Museum houses a Holocaust room and our Holocaust Foundation has directed Holocaust memorial events on its premises.
In response to the antisemitic thuggery of Hamas supporters, Auckland Museum has now apologised for the lighting of its building in expression of solidarity with the Jewish nation.
This is shameful.
