On June 10, 2007, a leading proponent of the Anti-Zionism Orthodox Jewish Movement, Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss, attended a rally on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol, voicing his support for the freedom of the Palestinian people. In an interview now posted on You Tube, the Rabbi stated, “We are forbidden to oppress another people, to subjugate, to make another people suffer. Just as God is compassionate, we have to be compassionate. So what is being done in the name of Judaism, in the name of the Torah, the occupation of the whole of Palestine, the Zionists…don’t represent the Torah, they don’t represent Godliness, they don’t represent the Jewish people. They have stolen our name, we our humiliated by what they’re doing with our name…(W)e suffer with the Palestinian people.� (The interview may be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCKD6u1gGzs)
