WASHINGTON, March 12 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following is a
 statement of Neturei Karta International:
     We gather here today to express the opinion of anti-Zionists Orthodox
 Jews worldwide in regard to current world events and especially in regard
 to the annual AIPAC Convention taking place in Washington, DC.
     There is an important fundamental message which needs to be brought to
 the attention oh the world, a crucial and fundamental issue. The world
 needs to know that the philosophy of Zionism is not based on traditional
 Judaism, that the state of "Israel" is not the true Jewish nation and in no
 way does it represent the Torah-based Judaism or the basic tenants of the
 Jewish faith.
     Furthermore, all that emanates from Zionism and everything that Zionism
 has generated since its inception until today has nothing to do with the
 true Jewish nation.
     All wars and all suffering which came about through Zionism and the
 state of "Israel", including the brutal seizure of the land and
 possessions, of the Palestinian people, are painful to the Jewish nation,
 which finds it shameful that these acts of brutality are committed in the
 name of "Israel" and Judaism.
     Zionism has damaged the Jewish nation more than any other apostasies,
 because it uprooted the true Jewish faith, by replacing Torah, with a
 secular nationalism.
     The Torah teaches, that the Jewish people must remain loyal to
 whichever country in where they reside. They are not to dictate foreign
 policy. Jews traditionally lived in peaceful loyalty throughout the world,
 and did not revolt against their host countries.
     Since the birth and creation of the Zionist philosophy, anguish and
 misery have increased, because Zionism transformed Godliness into
 materialism and domination.
     The hundreds of thousands of true Torah Jews throughout the world
 remain loyal to this tradition. They don't have any part in the Zionist
 provocations against anyone, but live in peace and harmony with all nations
 throughout the world.
     We pray for the day when the glory of the Almighty will be revealed
 throughout the world, when the entire creation will, together in
 brotherhood, serve the One God. Amen.
     Anti-Zionist Orthodox Jews will protest against the annual AIPAC
 convention outside the Washington Convention Center, Washington, DC, on
 Monday March 12, 2007 at 6:30pm.
