Jewish rabbis call for dismantling Israel

TWO Jewish rabbis yesterday called for a peaceful end of Israel saying that the existence of the "Israeli state" was contradictory to the Jewish law.

Speaking at a meeting with the Doha-based Muslim scholar Sheikh Yousuf al-Qaradawi, rabbis Ahron Cohen and Yisroel Dovid Weiss, who are activists at the Neturei Karta, a group known for its opposition to the establishment of Israel, said that the creation of Israel "was a heresy made up by the Zionists to undermine the true Jewish life".

"Theodor Herzel and his friends were just heretics. They are the worst enemy for the true Jews. According to the Torah, Jews are forbidden to have a state. All Jews should refuse the existence of the so-called state of Israel which tarnished our image. We will not lose hope and dream of dismantling the state of Israel," said Weiss who called on Qaradawi at his house in Doha.

The UK-based Cohen also called for peaceful dismantlement of what he described as the "Zionist state" which he said "triggered tension and conflict in the region" since it was established.
"We should draw a distinction between the Zionism and Judaism. Zionism is a political movement which exploited and misled Jews and undermined the Jewish life and spirituality. I believe that the current tension in the Middle East can disappear overnight once the superpowers agreed to dismantle the Zionist state," he said.

Should the United States Worry About "Zionists" as Fifth Column? Yes.
