  A prominent Jewish rabbi considered Israel as a state standing 
              "against God, against Torah, and against the Jewish religion." 
              He added that it caused many tragic events to both Palestinians 
              and Jews. The Zionist movement, he said, that was behind establishing the 
              Israeli state, is based on blood shedding, destruction, killing 
              and terrorism. On the other hand, he supported the right of Palestinians 
              in resistance and restoring their complete usurped homeland. The rabbi, Israel David Wyce, speaker of the Natouri Karta group, 
              that opposes the Zionist movement, went on to say that Zionism is 
              a secular movement. Zionists, he elaborated, are heretics and stand in the face of 
              the Jewish spiritual teachings. The Jewish rabbi, said Zionism is no more than a racist nationalist 
              non-religious movement set up by those who veered away from the 
              pure Jewish religion. The Torah (Old Testament), he pointed out, provides that the Jews 
              were given the land of Palestine thousands of years before. Yet, due to their sins they were dismissed from that land; they 
              went astray. Hence, the Jews are never entitled to establish a Jewish state 
              on the Palestinian territory as this is opposed to the Jewish instructions 
              and it is even against God's will. Most of the Jews, up to the second world war, the rabbi said, were 
              extremely opposed to the Zionist movement. They accused Zionists of turning Judaism from a spiritual religion 
              into a racist secular movement. Theodore Hertzel, founder of the Zionist movement, was not a religious 
              Jewish. He exploited the Jewish religion to distract and misguide 
              the Jews. The rabbi recalled that the Zionist forces used to blast off the 
              Jewish temples and scare the Jews so that they might emigrate and 
              usurp the land of Palestine from the original owners. The man squarely accused the Zionists and the occupying Israeli 
              army of committing carnage, heinous massacres against the Palestinian 
              as well as against the Jewish people. He termed the Palestinian resistance a legitimate action and normal 
              reaction against Zionist offenses.   |
