WHAT IS ZIONISM? JUDAISM VERSUS ZIONISM

Judaism believes in One G-d who revealed the Torah. It affirms Divine Providence and, accordingly, views Jewish exile as a punishment for sin. Redemption may be achieved solely through prayer and penance. Judaism calls upon all Jews to obey the Torah in its entirety including the commandment to be patriotic citizens. Zionism rejects the Creator, His Revelation and reward and punishment. Among its fruits are the persecution of the Palestinian people and the spiritual and physical endangering of the Jewish people. It encourages treasonous, dual loyalty among unsuspecting Jews throughout the world. At its root Zionism sees reality as barren and desacralized. It is the antithesis of Torah Judaism.

There is a vile lie, which stalks the Jewish people across the globe. It is a lie so heinous, so far from the truth, that it can only gain popularity due to the complicity of powerful forces in the “mainstream” media and educational establishment.It is a lie which has brought many innocent people untold suffering and if unchecked has the potential to create extraordinary tragedy in the future. It is the lie that declares that Judaism and Zionism are identical. Nothing could be further from the truth. Judaism is the belief in revelation at Sinai. It is the belief that exile is a punishment for Jewish sins. Zionism has for over a century denied Sinaitic revelation. It believes that Jewish exile can be ended by military aggression. Zionism has spent the past century strategically dispossessing the Palestinian people. It has ignored their just claims and subjected them to persecution, torture and death. Torah Jews the world over are shocked and pained at this short-lived dogma of irreligiosity and cruelty. Thousands of Torah scholars and saints have condemned this movement from its inception. They knew that the pre-existing good relationship between Jews and Muslims in the Holy Land was bound to suffer as Zionism advanced. The so-called “State of Israel” stands rejected on religious grounds by the Torah. Its monstrous insensitivity to the laws of basic decency and fairness appall all men be they Jewish or not. We of Neturei Karta have been in the forefront of the battle against Zionism for over a century. Our presence here is to refute the base lie that the evil, which is Zionism, in some way represents the Jewish people. The reverse is true. We are saddened day in and day out at the terrible toll of death emanating from the Holy Land. Not one of them would have occurred if Zionism had not unleashed its evil energies upon the world. As Jews we are called upon to live in peace and harmony with all men. We are exhorted to be law abiding and patriotic citizens in all lands. We condemn the current Zionist atrocities in the Holy Land. We yearn for peace based upon mutual respect. We are convinced that this proposed mutual respect is doomed to fail as long as the Israeli state exists. We welcome its abolition in a peaceful manner. May we be worthy of true redemption when all men will join in brotherhood in His worship.

Turkey ready to deploy peace keeping forces in Gaza, Russia, Britain and Italy join for ceasefire initiative

TURKEY URGES RUSSIA, BRITAIN, ITALY TO SUPPORT ITS EFFORTS for CEASEFIRE IN GAZA

ANKARA, Jan 6 (NNN-KUNA) — Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has urged his Russian, British and Italian counterparts to support Ankara’s endeavours to halt the Israeli barrage against the Gaza Strip. Erdogan discussed in separate phone calls with Russian Premier Vladimir Putin, British and Italian Prime Ministers Gordon Brown and Silvio Berlusconi respectively, the development of humanitarian and security situation in Gaza with the Israeli onslaught in its 10th day Monday. Erdogan briefed the three leaders about Turkey’s efforts to put an end to the Israeli attacks against the world’s most populated areas, opening of crossings with Egypt to allow entry of relief supplies for the needy Palestinians, according to an official statement. Erdogan called on the international community anew to move quickly to stop the crisis in the region. Erdogan, who strongly condemned the Israeli aggression, is leading a regional action to exercise pressure on the Jewish state to stop its onslaught. Turkish government spokesman Cemil Cicek said, however, that Turkey was ready to send forces to Gaza if it would help restore peace in the region. Cicek told a press briefing that Turkey had already dispatched forces to conflict zones around the world to restore peace and security. Meanwhile, Speaker of the Turkish parliament Koksal Toptan said he called on the parliamentary union of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) to hold an extraordinary meeting in Turkey to discuss the Israeli attacks. Toptan said he invited the speakers of the parliaments and Shura Councils of OIC member countries to meet in Istanbul on Jan 14 to discuss the dangerous Israeli escalation in Gaza. He said the military hostilities in Gaza would have negative consequences on the fragile condition of the Middle East. – NNN-KUNA
