A delegation of Anti-Zionist Orthodox
Jews traveled to Beirut, Lebanon from the United
States and the United Kingdom to join "The
Second Conference on The Palestinian People's
Right of Return" hosted by The International
Union of Parliamentarians for the Defence of
the Palestinian Cause Under the auspices of His
Excellency The president of the Lebanese Republic,
General Emile Lahoud, for the purpose of clarifying
the Torah-faithful Jewish position on the issue
of the Palestinian Right of Return and the Middle-East
conflict in general by conveying that:
- The Jewish people feel the suffering of the
Palestinian people.
- We accept G-d's decree to be loyal citizens
in every nation where we reside and will not
rebel against any nation.
- Jews true to the Torah accept G-d's decree
of exile and will not make their own entity,
any type or form of state but rather are waiting
patiently for the revelation of G-d's glory
when all mankind will recognize and serve the
one G-d together in peace and harmony.
- "Zionism does not represent the world Jewish
view"
- "Judaism and Zionism are extreme opposites"
- "the 'state' of Israel does not represent
the Jewish People"
- The Palestinian people should be granted
the full and immediate right of return.
- The transformation of rule over the complete
Holy Land to the Palestinian people, in which
Jewish people would be their loyal citizens.
The conference was attended by delegations from
over thirty countries.
