New York City, January 27, 2011
PRESS RELEASE ISSUED: January 26, 2011 – New York City
On Thursday, January 27, with the help of the Almighty, Orthodox Rabbis and supporters from
the Neturei Karta movement will gather in front of the Palestine Mission to the United Nations at
115 East 65th Street in New York City. At 9:30 AM a delegation of Rabbis will enter the
mission to meet with His Excellency Ambassador Riyad Mansour, Permanent Observer of the
Palestine Authority to the UN, and present him with a gift: a Palestinian flag to be flown over the
mission building. Following the meeting, the delegation will address the gathering of the NK
supporters and deliver a message to the press.
Rabbi Moshe Beck, a former Palestinian resident, Holocaust survivor, and senior Rabbi of the
Orthodox anti-Zionist movement, said, "Masses of Orthodox Jews around the world who stand in
strongest opposition to Zionism, because founding a Jewish state is against the Jewish belief and
the Torah, salute this advancement toward a Palestinian state, and are honored to present a
Palestinian flag to be flown high over their mission. We see the proud flying of the Palestinian
flag as a step toward the complete peaceful dismantlement of the Zionist state. We are certain,
with the help of the Almighty, that a Palestinian government over the entire Holy Land will bring
about the harmonious coexistence of Jews and Arabs in Palestine and in the rest of the world, as
they coexisted for centuries before the advent of Zionism."
