Response by Anti-Zionist Orthodox Rabbis to recent statements of Israel PM in France
January 15, 2015
With the help of the Almighty,
The Prime Minister of the heretical state calling itself "Israel" has
recently made public statements in France in which he professed and
presented himself and his State as if they speak in the name of world
Jewry including in the Holy Land and that he and his state are the
guardians and the protectors of the Jewish people globally. True Jews
around the world wish to publicize, according to the fundamentals of our
holy Torah and our holy faith, which we have received by tradition,
untainted, from previous generations:
Their state is not a
Jewish state, only a Zionist state. The Zionist concept of
self-determination, whether in a secular form or a Torah-observant form,
is completely against the Jewish faith and Torah, which we have
received by tradition, untainted, from previous generations. According
to our faith and Torah it is forbidden for us to rise up and build
ourselves, until the Almighty Himself redeems us without any help from
anyone else, and without our own power.
All that has resulted
from the Zionist philosophy, as well as everything done or spoken by
representatives of their state, have nothing whatsoever to do with the
true Jews living around the world.
When the Zionist philosophy
first appeared in the world, all of our Rabbis opposed and fought
against it, and expelled it from the Jewish community. The Rabbis said
that this philosophy constituted fundamental heresy, and that only
tragedies, bloodshed and an increase in anti-Semitism would come in its
wake, may the Almighty spare us. Their words have come true during all
the years that Zionism has existed, may the Almighty's compassion
protect us.
Therefore, the leaders of the heretics have no right
to speak in the name of Jews or in the name of "Israel". They are not
rescuers; they are the ones who start fires, and they create and cause
tragedies. All their declarations and actions have always been solely
their own. They have no connection whatsoever with the Jewish people
around the world including in the Holy Land.
We pray for the end
of the ideology of Zionism and the speedy, peaceful and total
dismantlement of its creation, the Zionist State of Israel.
We
pray for the day when the Almighty will reveal His glory throughout the
world, and all humankind will join in serving Him in peace and
brotherhood. Amen.
