American Rabbi Israel David Weiss said that the Israelis established their state by stealing from the Arabs, and that he prays for the disappearance of their Zionist state and for Palestine to be liberated as soon as possible.

Weiss stated that there are many people who confuse Judaism and Zionism, and are confused about the matter.

It is noteworthy that David Weiss is a prominent member of the international Jewish anti-Zionist organization, known internationally as the Neturei Karta movement.

Anadolu Agency quoted him as saying that Zionism, which is the “ideology” of the State of Israel, “is trying to portray itself as a Jewish state, but it has no relation to Judaism, which is a religion,” adding that Judaism and Zionism are as separate as the earth and the sky, and contradict each other, noting. Until the commandments of the Torah stated, “You shall not kill and you shall not steal.”

Rabbi Weiss pointed out that Zionism caused the Nakba of 1948, in which the Palestinians were subjected to forced displacement. He said, "Murder and theft are clearly forbidden in our country, while these people (Israel) established their state by stealing from the Arabs. That is why we cry with the Palestinians."

Weiss stressed that Israel is an anti-Semitic state that produces and incites hatred.

He continued, "As religious Jews, we pray to the Lord every day for the demise of the Zionist State of Israel, which has caused the shedding of much Palestinian and Jewish blood as quickly as possible." He also pointed out that they are praying for Palestine to gain its freedom as soon as possible.

Backgrounds of flood and aggression

It is noteworthy that Israel was established on Arab land occupied in 1948, and annexed Jerusalem and the West Bank in 1967. Throughout its 70 years, it has continued to kill and arrest Palestinians, expand settlement activity in the West Bank, launch military operations in Gaza, and attack Islamic and Christian sanctities in Jerusalem.

On October 7, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades - the military arm of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) - and other Palestinian resistance factions launched Operation Al-Aqsa Flood against the Israeli occupation, and have so far killed more than 1,400 Israelis.

The Palestinian resistance also captured more than 200 Israelis, and announced that it wanted to exchange them for more than 6,000 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli occupation prisons.

For its part, Israel continues its aggression against Gaza, bombing homes, schools, hospitals and mosques, which led to the martyrdom of more than 8,300 Palestinians, most of them women and children, in addition to wounding 12,000, destroying entire neighborhoods and displacing most of the population.

Israeli military operations in Gaza receive broad support from the United States, which sent two aircraft carriers to the Mediterranean Sea to “deter any attempt to expand the conflict,” she said.
