With G-d’s help, thank you for giving us this opportunity. Throughout
these sessions we keep on hearing about how there is a terrible
mistake that the Palestinian’s side of the problem is constantly
looked at as the problematic side and in the wrong; so we would
like to, with God’s help, educate people, and to approach
parliamentary leaders or whoever it is. It is essential that
they know the truth; what the root of the conflict is.
The state of Israel is constantly considered as a "Jewish" State
and whoever oppeses it is classified as anti-Semitic . We
want people to understand that this was never a religious conflict. Jewish
people have been living hundreds of years together with the Muslim
people and we are very thankful for the Muslim countries for
giving us their hospitality. This was never the problem.
Zionism is a relatively new movement. It is a political
movement, a transformation from religion into a political movement. In
fact, according to Jewish teaching we were sent into exile during
the destruction of the temple two thousand years ago and expressly
forbidden to create our own state, even in a land that would
be void of inhabitants. It just compounds the terrible
sin and crime being that there are Palestinian people living
in this land, and to repress them and to banish them from the
land, this is a crime against Judaism.
I have a document, which is in the United Nations archives,
that the Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem wrote in 1947 pleading with the
Secretary General of the United Nations that I am the Leader of the
Jewish community in Jerusalem and “we do not want to have this
State.” So the problem is not religion. It is
psychological intimidation. When you approach the parliamentary
leaders, they must understand that it’s not against the Jewish
people. You are not committing a crime; you are not anti-Semitic
if you stand up for the rights of the Palestinian people. It
is truly their right, totally from G-d, to have the land. And
this will bring the true peace. We, the Jewish people, pray
every day for the speedy and peaceful dismantlement of the entire
state, then people would see that we can live together in true harmony
as we have for hundreds of years. We must work on that. Thank
you.

With G-d’s help, I’m proud to see some fellow Jews
that understand that the meaning of Judaism is to serve G-d
and to emulate G-d, just as G-d is compassionate, we must be
compassionate. That is the running theme of Judaism; it’s
about being close to God. It’s not a political movement. It
has always been throughout the ages, just to serve God.
Unfortunately, there is now a relatively new concept: which
is the state of Israel borne out of people who were estranged
from God and Torah, like Theodore Hertzl. People who wanted
to transform Judaism from a religion into a nationality, to
have a piece of land; totally contradictory to what Judaism
is all about. This is not the Judaism that we have accepted
on Mount Sinai a few thousand years ago.
They have implanted, unfortunately, in the new generation
as well as in the old generation, a whole different concept
of what Judaism is supposed to be; to control Palestine, and
so forth. This happens to be totally against the teachings of
the Torah, against the teachings of God, for us to stand up
and make our own country, after we were sent out after the destruction
of the temple, two thousand years ago. We were clearly
commanded by God not to do that, even to create a state in a
desolate land, and most certainly not to take the land by oppressing
the people, subjugating the people, stealing the land. The ones
who did this were Theodore Hertzl, people who were estranged
from Judaism, who detested Judaism, they came and decided to
change the Jewish soul, that Judaism is a nationality, ignoring
the Torah and creating a state, and compounded their sin by
oppressing the Palestinian people. In trying to accomplish this,
the only way to legitimize their plan was by falsifying the
Torah, waiving the Torah to legitimize what they are doing to
the Palestinian people. And they have to misconstrue history
as if we have a deep-seated hate between Jews and Muslims; as
if we were never able to co-exist and as if we had always suffered
at the hands of the Muslim people, all of which is patently
false.
One of the most important things activists can do,
is to catch the older generation, speak to the Muslim people,
the Arab peopled and the Jewish people and take what they have
to say and write down the history about how they have been living,
coexisting in Palestine, in Hebron and all the different Arab
countries. Why is that so important? Because the
truth is we do not have a religious conflict. This should
be documented properly before the older generation passes on,
it should be in printed advertisements, in the newspapers, because
the world understands this is a conflict of religion and therefore
you have to support God with Judaism etc. that the Palestinian
people automatically are at fault, they should have to answer
for themselves and everything you give them is a present, not
warranted.
We want the world to know that this is a mistake;
it is not Judaism and godliness versus the Palestinian people. We
are thankful for the Muslim and Arab communities for the hospitalities
they have always shown us throughout the hundreds of years. We
didn’t live in conflict. It’s not a religious
conflict. It’s a misrepresentation and reinvention
of history to say that the Muslims are not hospitable and cannot
tolerate other people. And we pray to God for the speedy
end of this State and He should do it in peace. Thank
you. |
