Holocaust Conference, Auschwitz
Anti-Zionist Rabbis Call Israeli Ceremony at Auschwitz an Affront to the Memory of the Victims

January 28, 2014 – Berlin

Orthodox Rabbis, holocaust survivors and descendents of survivors, held a press conference in Berlin yesterday in response to a memorial ceremony, held at Auschwitz by 69 Israeli politicians, who warned of rising anti-Semitism in Europe.

The Rabbis found it repugnant that the State of Israel, whose founders refused to rescue Jews while the Holocaust was happening, should be commemorating the Holocaust.

“We survived by hiding in a bunker in Budapest during the Holocaust,” said Rabbi Moshe Dov Beck, 79. “It is well known that the Zionist policy during the Holocaust was that only Jewish bloodshed on a massive scale could help them achieve their state after the war, as a gift from the guilt ridden and sympathetic victors. They provoked anti-Semitism and sabotaged rescue efforts, all for their political goal.”

“As for today’s anti-Semitism, the Israelis complaining is duplicitous, because the existence of the Israeli State and it’s atrocities is largely the cause. And of course it is obvious, that they reap the benefits – more world anti-Semitism, more Jews immigrate to their state”, said Rabbi Dovid Feldman.

“The Zionists want the world to believe that they represent world Jewry and Judaism, that is false,” said Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss. “They accuse everyone who criticizes their vile actions of anti-Semitism, that is also a lie. Unfortunately there are those who hate all Jews because they consider Judaism and Zionism one and the same. Thus Zionists bring danger upon Jews and then they present themselves as the saviors of the Jewish people.”

“The Torah teaches that Jews are in exile by a Divine decree. Jews are required to respect the nations amongst whom they live. The Torah forbids Jews to have their own state. Jews accept the Almighty’s decree and wait patiently for His redemption, without any human intervention. It goes without saying that Jews are forbidden to steal land, kill or expel anyone. Precisely because we experienced the Holocaust, we must learn tolerance and respect for others – not use our suffering as an excuse to oppress others.”

“Subsequently, this Zionist ceremony is nothing less than a brutal affront to the memory of those who perished in the Holocaust.”

The book challenges the Zionist narrative about President Truman’s recognition of Israel in 1948, showing him as a hard-nosed politician trailing in the polls in May of an election year, and being heavily lobbied by American Zionists who then helped ensure his re-election.

I can recommend a website, that of Neturei Karta nkusa.org one among a few I know of, and there are others

They argue passionately that as the Zionist State was founded by men it was not founded by God and is therefore a counterfeit.

they hold that there will be a zionist state but only after the Messiah as come and that man has no business running ahead of God’s timetable to produce a counterfeit work which has committed crimes, desecrates Jewish grave sites (among other things) and is secular

They also insist that they are the majority position as regards religious Jews. I do not know if this is true but if it is that changes the complexion of things immensely.

I myself oppose the Zionist state for its violations of the Law of Moses whereby they harass non jews within their borders in violation of the Law of Moses.

Take a look at nkusa.org ‘s site

I do not believe I have made anything up. I may be misled but am not an inventor of error here

If you consider history, most revolutions, for that’s what a solution to this problem would be, involve some help from the established side, as it were, and I’m becoming more optimistic. Thanks for the encouraging article, Alan; I can only echo Dodo’s compliments.

By the way, David Goldberg taught me at Salford Grammar School fifty-odd years ago. A very thoughtful character he was then, too and a great influence on many of my friends. It’s so good to see him being one of the modern Jews who have a liberal attitude to the matter and are not afraid to voice it.
