Orthodox Jews Will Assemble to Protest Against AIPAC
Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss, a spokesman for Neturei Karta International, Jews United Against Zionism, stated at a recent meeting: "Philanthropists and government representatives, should be apprised of the reality, that supporting Zionism and the State of 'Israel,' does not help Jews or Judaism, but only helps to perpetuate the tragic impasse and constant bloodshed in the Middle East."
He further explained: "History clearly attests to the fact that the Jewish existence in all Muslim countries, was mostly harmonious and only since the inception of Zionism, has this relationship been destroyed." "Remove the intimidation and hyperbole of AIPAC and its ilk, and any logical person will conclude that the difference of religion, is not the cause of the deep seated rift between Jews and Arabs. The new ideology, the political movement of Zionism, which culminated in the form of the State of 'Israel,' is the real culprit.
"Not supporting the State of 'Israel,' does not make one, in any way, less of a friend of the Jewish people and most certainly does not label one, an anti-Semite."
The Rabbi further stated: "The Jewish principles of exile, may be a shock and a complete surprise to the well meaning friends and supporters of the Jewish people, but facts can not be disputed. The Torah explicitly forbids us, the Jewish nation, from having our own State in this Heavenly decreed exile. We must patiently await the day, when the Almighty Himself, without any human intervention, will bring the hearts of all mankind together to serve Him in peace and harmony.
"Rabbis, Orthodox Jewish leaders and laymen, have fought Zionism continuously since its inception and up until the present day. True Torah Jews will never accept Zionism and the State of 'Israel.'
"May we merit to see, soon in our days, the peaceful and speedy dismantlement of the State of 'Israel,' and the fulfillment of Isaiah's prophesies 'And they will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. No nation will lift its sword against any other, nor will they learn warfare anymore.'"

This Weiss character is probably part of the eiruv rav that mixed in with the Bnei Yisroel when they left Mitzrayim and who have survived to the present time.
His bald statement that the Jews lived in relative harmony in Arab lands until Zionism started is a gross lie as any amateur student of history can attest. Better yet ask any Sephardi who has some historical knowledge. Jews were subjected to the dhimma status, were severely restricted in many fields of endeavour and had extremely limited rights in the Arab court of law. Theye definitely were 2nd class status Weiss is either grossly ignorant or a blatant distortionist. I am not a Zionist or an apologist for them. I just want the truth to be known.

I once responded to a previous post about this Naturei Karta that as a young bochur, I had the zchus to meet and to be near R. Amram Blau during my time in Eretz Yisroel. I guarantee you that he would not recognize this group that today calls itself Naturei Karta. R' Amram Blau was filled with Ahavas Yisroel. From today's Naturei Karta all I hear is "the poor oppressed Arabs" - they are ust "new leftists" in levush.

Where in the Torah does it "explicitly forbid us, the Jewish nation, from having our own State in this Heavenly decreed exile"? The many and astounding nissim Hakadosh Baruch Hu performed for Israel in 1948, 1956, 1967, the Entebbe raid, 1991, and on a daily basis prove that the State is "Heavenly decreed". Or is Rabbi Weiss suggesting that all the credit belongs to the IDF?
