It is most disheartening at a time when all pro Zionist attempts at solving the Middle East conflict have resulted in yet another round of bloodshed, that the American media should avoid covering those Jews who have never wavered in their devotion to peace. Tragically this Torah based path to peace is not well known in many circles due to the inexcusable media blackout. |

Orthodox Jews Condemn Media Blackout of Jewish Anti –Zionism Events
Statement from Neturei Karta - an Orthodox Jewish group
March 1, 2002 (Neturei Karta) - Over the past several weeks various segments of anti - Zionist, Orthodox Jewry have taken to the streets of Washington and New York in order to protest the existence and actions of the state of Israel.
These efforts have had three things in common. They have been large, ranging in size from hundreds to tens of thousands, featured speakers both articulate and passionate and have been almost totally ignored by the media.
On the other hand a tiny crowd, led by the notorious anti - Gentile rabble rouser, Avi Weiss, assembled in front of the PLO Consulate in Manhattan, received widespread media attention. Of course, Weiss' message that the PLO be banned from America due to its being a "terrorist organization" was more in keeping with the attitude of an American media which by and large cringes before Zionist power.
Indeed, Neturei Karta International staged a counter demonstration opposite the Avi Weiss led affair. It called for the expulsion of the Israeli Consulate from New York due to that nation's obvious status as a terrorist state. This protest, equally well attended as that of the anti - Palestinian fanatics, received no media coverage whatsoever.
It is most disheartening at a time when all pro Zionist attempts at solving the Middle East conflict have resulted in yet another round of bloodshed, that the American media should avoid covering those Jews who have never wavered in their devotion to peace.
Traditional Torah understandings have, over the past century of Zionism's existence, yielded a clear and consistent anti Zionist philosophy. This philosophy has predicted that Zionism's success would inevitably result in endless suffering for Jew and Gentile alike. Reality has, of course, validated these predictions.
Tragically this Torah based path to peace is not well known in many circles due to the inexcusable media blackout. |

Thank you NK for making an important point. The distinction between peace loving and war loving Jews in America is dramatic.
Unfortunately the American media is controlled by those Jews who are war loving and who are only interested in war making propaganda.
The media has the capabilities to brainwash the entire country and to this point they have been successful in making a majority of people believe that war is good.
Zionism is hurtfull to all good Jewish people.

It may be the circles I travel in, but ALL the Jews I know are anti-war and believe that the present policies of the Israeli government are immoral. I won't jump to the conclusion of the writer above that what I know represents the wider reality, but sweeping statements like Len's should be examined carefully. |

It appears that Chairman Arafat, so beloved by Neturei Karta "Rabbi" Hirsch and his fellow travelers, has now authorized Motzei Shabbas attacks even on non-Zionist Jews such as yourselves. Yet your scandalous website - which publicly attacks other Jews and praises their publicly-sworn enemies, to the delight of anti-Semites worldwide - remains unchanged. Is your Chassidic garb merely a costume, behind which lurks the soul of Amalek? How do you manage to live with yourselves? |

If Neturei Karta opposites zionism so strong, why it not issued the Herem on zionists? Why you are not said anything on your opinion regarding 100-200 nuces? |
