Muslim leaders will join Orthodox Jewish Rabbis in a Press Conference and Rally

New York City – August 19, 2005

Muslim leaders, Orthodox Jewish Rabbis and layman will gather, with G-d’s help, across the street of the United Nation Headquarters, in the Dag Hammarskjold Plaza. They will join in expressing their gratitude to G-d for the current events and to offer their prayers for the future.

Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss of Neturei Karta International, Jews United Against Zionism, stated:

With the transformation of Gaza, back to the Palestinian populace, a process of rectification, if painful to some, has begun.

Two horrific evils have been perpetrated with the confiscation of the Holy Land from the Palestinian people.

Firstly, this is a rebellion against G-d who has expressly forbidden us, the Jewish people, from ending the G-dly decreed exile, by creating our own State. This is regardless if the selected country to form this state in, is populated or desolate, and regardless, if it is the will of the indigenous population to help the Jews form their State, or if the State is being forced upon them.

Secondly, this rebellion against G-d has been compounded immeasurably by the fact that in order to create this state, a land has been taken, clearly against the will of the indigenous population, the Palestinian people. Their homes and properties have been confiscated and untold thousands have been expelled etc. their suffering continues unabated until the present day.

Therefore, although the return of Gaza has been very painful for those who have unfortunately fallen prey to Zionism and have built their lives in Gaza, still in all, we give thanks to G-d for righting a wrong. We pray, that this token beginning, should usher in the day, when we should realize the transformation of the rule over the entire Holy Land, back to its rightful rulers, - the Palestinian People. We stress, not just Gaza and the West Bank, but the entire Holy Land.

Our passionate prayers are, that this should come about, speedily and peacefully, without any further bloodshed, pain or suffering.

May G-d enlighten the Jewish individuals who have been led astray, to understand G-d’s will and do His Will, with happy hearts.

Ultimately, may we merit to see the day, soon in our life time, when G-d will reveal His glory and all humanity will serve Him in peace and harmony. AMEN
