Representatives of Neturei Karta International, a world wide Orthodox, anti - Zionist organization, will protest Monday afternoon 15 April, in Washington together with Muslim representatives, against the policies and existence of the state of Israel.

"The Jewish people have a task in exile. We are to live in peace with all men and humbly serve the Creator. Zionism has for far too long de - railed this endeavor. It has drawn many unsuspecting Jews into constantly life threatening policies."

Rabbi Weiss and other Neturei Karta leaders have often joined Palestinians in protest against assorted actions of the Israeli state.

The ultimate goal of their activities is, in the Rabbi's words, to "bring about the peaceful dismantling of the Israeli state."

"After fifty three years of suffering and death for both, Palestinian and Jew, it is high time to acknowledge that the Zionist experiment, was a tragic error. The sooner it is put to rest, the better it will be for all mankind."

"The scenes of devastation throughout the West Bank, in Jenin, Nablus, Bais Lechem, etc., have to stir the conscience of all believing Jews. It is not our role as Jews, to act this way. We are a people of peace, of modesty, of dignity and humility."

The Rabbi said, he pitied the masses of Jews that will demonstrate in Washington tomorrow in favor of the state.

“Aside from the simple facts that:

1) As Jews, we are forbidden to have our own “state” for we are in a God decreed exilic time.

2) Our hopes and prayers are not for an eventual “state of Israel” after God will end this exile. But rather we hope and pray for the acceptance throughout the world, of the One God’s rule, at which time all nations will serve God together in peace, joy and harmony.

3) To kill, steal and oppress a people, is totally forbidden by the Torah.

Aside from all the above, the Jewish masses have been duped. They recite, as if in a trance, the bizarre mantra that the state of Israel is a so called safe haven, a blessing for the Jewish people. The plain reality is that Israel is the most dangerous place in the world for a Jew to live and has been so since its founding."

“May the fact that not even one of the ultra orthodox Jewish communities have participated in this macabre rally for the “support of Israel” the supposed “Jewish State”. May this shed light on the true Torah view and true Jewish position. Judaism and the Torah is in total opposition to Zionism and the Zionist state.”

The Rabbi expressed confidence that "as the situation in the Holy land deteriorates, more and more Jews will return to the traditional Jewish rejection of Zionism. We have maintained our loyalty to the old time Torah view. Eventually when the masses of those deceived by Zionism will return, looking for an alternative, we will be there waiting for them in brotherhood."

Rabbi Weiss spoke to the international Islamic community when he said. "To our Islamic friends, the long suffering of the Palestinian people will soon end. Before the dawn there is invariably darkness. Our peoples will yet live together in a Palestinian state in peace and mutual respect."
