London Orthodox Jews to Protest Outside Israeli Embassy

LONDON, July 13, 2010 - Thousands of anti-Zionist Orthodox Jews will demonstrate outside the
Israeli Embassy on Kensington High Street in London on Tuesday, July 13 at
2:00. Their goal is to express their opposition to the existence of the state
of "Israel" and to protest the ongoing destruction, permitted and encouraged
by the Israeli government, of an ancient Jewish cemetery in Jaffa.

This is a cemetery in which Jewish sages from the Talmudic era lay buried
until last month when a company called RFR Holding LLC decided to build a
hotel on the site of the cemetery. On June 14, Israeli archaeologists,
accompanied by bulldozers, began to unceremoniously remove some of the bones.
On July 1, the company began to flatten the area and drill deep holes for the
pillars of the building. More bones are being desecrated as we write these
words.

The demonstration is being organized by True Torah Jews Against Zionism
in cooperation with the Union of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations of London. For
the first time, the rabbinic leaders of the venerable Union will be taking to
the streets in protest.

"According to the Torah, Jews are currently in exile and are not
permitted to have a state of their own. Furthermore, the leaders of the
Zionist state deny all of Judaism's basic principles," said Rabbi Yitzchok
Lebovitch, a spokesman for True Torah Jews' London branch.

"One of those principles is the immortality of the soul and the eventual
resurrection of body and soul together. That is why we are commanded to treat
human remains with the greatest respect. The Zionists lack the respect for
human dignity that most countries of the world practice. In fact, this very
cemetery was protected for hundreds of years under Muslim empires.

"The Zionists wish to transform Judaism into a nationalistic concept,
empty of Torah and dedication to the Almighty - which have always been the
outstanding qualities of the Jewish people. After all this, they have the
nerve to call themselves 'Israel' and base their claims to the land on the
Torah! But the truth is that the Almighty made us swear not to create our own
country before the coming of the messiah and the redemption of the world.

"Torah Jewry and all authentic rabbis of the world have fought against
Zionism since its founding day. Torah Jews will never recognize Zionist
sovereignty over the Holy Land."
