Zionism is ‘greatest factory’ causing anti-Semitism: Rabbi Weiss http://tehrantimes.com/index_View.asp?code=243717

Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss says Zionism is first and foremost responsible for anti-Semitism in the world. “Zionism is the ‘greatest factory’ of causing and exacerbating anti-Semitism around the world,” Rabbi Weiss said in an exclusive interview with Tehran Times at Esteghlal Hotel on June 29.“Zionism is altogether in total contradiction with Judaism” and “We pray constantly for a speedy and peaceful and total dismantlement of the Zionist state.”

He said, “Judaism is a religion subservient to the Almighty but Zionism is a transformation to materialism and nationalism.”The anti-Zionist rabbi said the real Jews are also brutally suppressed in occupied territories but the reports do not come out as the Zionists control the media.

“It is worth noting that together with the Palestinian people the Zionist state brutally oppresses the religious Jewish communities in Palestine. The media around the world do not show the brutal oppression of the religious Jews in Palestine because of the Zionists’ intimidation and control of media.” He lashed out at Israel’s “state terrorism” in the occupied territories and said, “Violent approach is foreign to Judaism so we cannot condone violence.”“We also state emphatically that the Palestinian people are the victims and their land was totally and illegitimately stolen from them.”
