Jews who follow the Torah have always opposed Zionism and the state of Israel because it goes against our beliefs. The creation of Israel involved occupying and oppressing another people, which violates human rights and international norms. It also contradicts Jewish beliefs. We stand in solidarity with the suffering people of Palestine and believe that everything Israel does to Palestinians goes against our religion. The only solution is a peaceful dismantlement of Israel, as there was peace in Palestine before its creation.

The speaker explains the difference between Jews and Zionists. They state that Zionism is the opposite of Judaism, as it mistrusts God and goes against religious beliefs. Zionists are accused of committing crimes by taking land from others through killing and robbery, which goes against the commandments of not killing and not stealing. This is the fundamental difference between Zionists and others.

The speaker addresses the issue of the Israel-Palestine conflict and the role of Zionism. They express concern about the escalating situation and urge self-identifying Zionists to consider the impact of their beliefs. The speaker criticizes the Israeli government for oppressing Palestinians and using Judaism as a shield. They argue that Israel inflicts more harm on Palestinians than Hamas does on Israel. The speaker highlights the relevance of American support for Israel and calls for evidence of precise attacks. They emphasize the need to confront uncomfortable truths and reject actions that harm others in the name of Judaism. The speaker concludes by urging the protection of freedoms and rejecting anything that benefits Jews at the expense of others.

This message is for religious Jews from Jerusalem, Palestine, and around the world. True religious communities oppose the entire occupation by the State of Israel because it goes against our covenant with God. The state of Israel is a nationalist movement that started over 100 years ago, rebelling against God. They use Jewish symbols but are stealing Palestinian homes and disregarding the Torah's prohibition on Jewish sovereignty since the temple's destruction 2000 years ago. Our rabbis in Palestine support these facts.

As a Jewish person, I want to make it clear that I am against the existence of the Zionist State of Israel. The oppression and cruelty inflicted upon the Palestinian people is not in the name of our religion or the star of David. Judaism, as stated in the Torah, forbids Jews from having our own sovereignty since the destruction of the temples. True followers of Judaism do not aspire to have our own state or take land from the Palestinians. This goes against the principles of my religion.

The speaker claims that the "Zionist occupation of Palestine that calls itself Israel" is built on lies and theft, having stolen the name "Israel." The name originates from the Old Testament, where Jacob was renamed Israel, and his descendants were the Israelites. Those who accepted covenants with God were part of the House of Israel, later the Christian Church established by Jesus. Rejecters of Jesus were the Jews, a pejorative term for those who rejected Christ. The speaker asserts that the true Israel is the Church, not a birthright or DNA privilege. Christian Zionists are deceived in believing today's Jews are still in covenant with God from the old covenant with Abraham. The speaker rejects Calvinist theology and predestination. In 1948, Zionists stole the name Israel to mislead evangelicals and religious Jews. Only religious fanatics in Puritan circles supported Zionism, misinterpreting scriptures. The speaker believes evangelicals are not Christians, the chosen people are not chosen, and Israel is not Israel. The true Israel is a spiritual fellowship of people with faith who follow Jesus. The Zionist occupation is a Jewish military dictatorship that has fooled religious fanatics and the secular masses.

The speaker argues that the Middle East conflict between Israel and the Palestinians is not about the division of land, but rather about the Palestinians' aim to destroy Israel. They claim that the Palestinian leadership, including Mahmoud Abbas, openly expresses this goal through their insignia, maps, and educational materials. The speaker believes that as long as the West continues to support and legitimize the Palestinians' genocidal attack on Israel, there is no hope for resolution.

This message is for religious Jews from Jerusalem, Palestine, and around the world. We, as religious communities, oppose the entire occupation of Israel, not just a two-state solution. Judaism is about being subservient to God, a covenant we made 3000 years ago. However, the state of Israel, which started over 100 years ago, is a nationalist movement that rebels against God. They use Jewish symbols but are stealing Palestinian homes and disregarding the Torah's prohibition on Jewish sovereignty since the temple's destruction 2000 years ago. Our rabbis in Palestine support this fact.

The speaker discusses how acts of violence against Palestinians are ignored by the military. They believe the root issue is the occupation of Palestinian territory, which inherently lacks morality. The speaker regrets following orders to use flashbang grenades to assert control. They argue that the occupation must end for security for both Palestinians and Israelis.

The speaker discusses the situation in the Middle East and urges support for Israel through donations. They argue that tax dollars already support Israel and mention the Balfour Declaration, which justified the colonization of Palestine and led to the creation of Israel. The speaker distinguishes between anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism, stating that Judaism is a religion while Zionism is a nationalist movement. They claim that Zionism weaponized Judaism to justify colonial actions and oppress Palestinians. The speaker concludes by suggesting that the media portrays the wrong heroes as villains.

Rabbi David Weiss strongly denounces the Zionist state of Israel, emphasizing that the oppression and cruelty against the Palestinian people are not in the name of Judaism or the Jewish people. He argues that Judaism forbids Jews from having their own sovereignty and entities, and that taking the land from the Palestinian people contradicts his religion. Rabbi Weiss asserts that Jews have always opposed the Zionist entity and stands in solidarity with the suffering of the Palestinian people. He criticizes the Zionist movement as a political material movement created by heretics, using religion to silence opposition. Rabbi Weiss believes that supporting the state of Israel actually exacerbates antisemitism.

Jews who adhere to the Torah oppose Zionism and the state of Israel as it contradicts their belief in a Jewish state. They view Israel's creation in 1948 as an occupation of another people's land, leading to oppression, killings, and land theft. This violates human rights and international norms, as well as the core principles of Jewish faith. We stand in solidarity with the suffering Palestinians, asserting that Israel's actions are illegitimate. The only solution, in our view, is a peaceful dismantlement of Israel, which we perceive as the obstacle to peace in Palestine. Prior to Israel's establishment, there was peace in the region.

The speaker argues that the indigeneity of Palestinians to the land of Palestine does not entitle them to their own country within Israel. They claim almost every country was conquered, citing Canada and Australia as examples where indigenous populations like the Inuits and Aboriginals are not allowed to create their own countries. The speaker states that in 1948, Jews won a war against Arabs and Palestinians on the land, and therefore, it is now their country. They assert that no other country is expected to separate and give land to indigenous people. The speaker believes that demanding this of Israel is a result of Jew hatred, as such demands are not made of countries like the US, Mexico, Canada, or Australia.

The speaker emphasizes that the problem in Palestine is not the religion, but rather the occupation and land confiscation. They recall a time when Palestinians and Jews lived harmoniously, exchanging childcare during holidays. The speaker asserts that Palestinians do not hate Jews, but rather the occupiers. They argue that the state of Israel will eventually come to an end, as many countries have been established in a similar timeframe. The speaker, a Palestinian, expresses their desire to return to Palestine and awaits their Palestinian passport.

The speakers discuss what must happen for a free Palestine and what a future Israel–Palestine could look like. The central position is that, although a two-state solution remains viable in principle, its implementation must proceed with dismantling a “genocidal apartheid regime.” The speaker emphasizes that there is an important distinction to be made: “the state of Israel” should be separated from the rights of Israeli Jews who live there, whose rights must be respected and secured, but the ideological framework of Israel is at issue. The argument is that Israel is an ideological state, and Zionism cannot establish lasting peace. Zionism, in the speaker’s view, is “an ideology that in its core is hostile to the equality of humanity,” and in the form of the state of Israel it continually uses violence to try to solve political problems. When violence does not resolve the problem, the stance is that it would be addressed with more violence. When asked how Israel–Palestine should look, the speaker admits this is a relatively new conclusion and that they have not fully worked out the exact realization. However, they state clearly: “there is no peace with the state of Israel and no peace should be established” with the current regime. The main argument supporting this conclusion is drawn by analogy to other regimes: “for the same reason that you should not establish peace with apartheid South Africa or with Nazi Germany or with Rhodesia,” those regimes had to be dismantled, because without dismantling them there would never be peace in Europe or in Southern Africa. In summary, the position asserted is that a lasting peace requires dismantling the Israeli state as it currently exists, while acknowledging that the rights of Israeli Jews are separate and must be protected. A two-state outcome might be possible in principle, but only through dismantling the genocidal apartheid regime, not by maintaining the current state structure.

The speaker expresses that the Zionists do not represent the Jewish people and have stolen the name Israel. They demand that the land and rights be returned to the Palestinian people. They believe that Jews would be safer and their religion more respected under Arab rule. They pray for the peaceful dismantlement of Israel and for Palestinians and Jews to live together in harmony. They hope for the fulfillment of their prayers and for all people to unite in doing the will of the almighty Torah.

The speaker emphasizes the need to change the conversation about Palestinians, stating that they are not terrorists but part of an anti-colonialist movement. They fight for the right to return to their homeland, to end military occupation, and to have equal rights as Palestinian citizens. The speaker encourages supporting this cause and dismisses accusations of anti-Semitism. Instead, they suggest using the opportunity to educate others about Palestine rather than engaging in pointless arguments.

The speaker expresses frustration with the focus on the recent attack on Israel by Hamas, arguing that Israel has been inflicting violence on Palestinians for decades. They highlight the brutal Israeli occupation, siege in Gaza, and land theft in the West Bank. The speaker criticizes the labeling of Palestinians as terrorists when they respond to the oppression they face. They emphasize that civilians should never be legitimate targets, but also call for recognition of Israel as an occupying power and the long-standing mistreatment of Palestinians.

As a Jewish person, I want to make it clear that I am against the existence of the Zionist state of Israel. The oppression and cruelty inflicted upon the Palestinian people is not in the name of our religion or the Star of David. Judaism and the Torah forbid Jews from having our own sovereignty since the destruction of the temples. We are also forbidden from killing or stealing. Taking land away from the Palestinians goes against my religion and is completely contradictory.

The speaker condemns the violence in Gaza, stating it's not about religion but a political movement called Zionism. They reject using Judaism to justify war on Palestinians, calling it false and repugnant. As Jews, they stand against it, emphasizing it's not in their name. They express solidarity with Gaza and Palestine, denouncing Israel as a criminal entity.

The speaker criticizes Israel for the treatment of Palestinians, comparing it to apartheid in South Africa. They argue that Israel is motivated by a desire to acquire Palestinian land and exclude Palestinians from their own property. They highlight the lack of awareness and debate on this issue in the United States. The second speaker agrees and wishes for more open discussion. They ask about the responsibility of both Israelis and Palestinians in the conflict. The first speaker blames the conflict on Israel's occupation of Palestinian land, which violates international resolutions and commitments. They acknowledge acts of violence by Palestinians but do not excuse them.

The speaker believes the Palestinian crisis is not a land dispute but a religious issue centered on animosity towards Jews. They claim that Palestinians' core issue is the existence of Jews, suggesting that conversion to Islam would resolve the conflict. The speaker asserts that Arab media and sermons incite hatred and violence against Jews, aiming to fulfill a prophecy from the Bukhari book about Muslims slaughtering all Jews. They argue that pressuring Israel to concede land would embolden jihadists, referencing the September 11th attacks as motivated by a desire for such concessions. They advocate for the opposite approach, asserting that strength and refusal to yield will deter future attacks by demonstrating that aggression yields no gains.

The Jewish people have been attached to the land of Israel for 3,500 years. The loss of their land occurred during the Arab conquest in the 7th century when Arabs took over the land and made the Jews a minority. Despite being dispossessed and scattered, the Jews never gave up their dream of returning to their ancestral homeland. In the 19th century, they started coming back and building farms and factories. The conflict with the Palestinians arises from their refusal to accept a Jewish state, claiming it as their own. The speaker argues that while Palestinians can live alongside Jews, they cannot demand the dissolution of the Jewish state.

Speaker: The speaker begins by saying they used to be a Zionist and are a Holocaust survivor, noting that Zionism was very important for them as a salvation of the Jewish people until they discovered that the state was founded based on the extirpation, the explosion, and multiple massacres of the local population. They insist that this is not historically controversial. They urge taking a longer view to understand the present situation, and argue that the present occupation and the suppression of the Palestinians must not continue in order to move forward. They reference Sharon, mentioning a previous guest who spoke about fragile coexistence, and assert that there was no coexistence at all. The speaker describes oppression, periodic massacres, land occupation in the West Bank, and the continuous expulsion of the population from their homes. They recount visiting the occupied territories three times, including the first time during the first intifada when they cried every day for two weeks at what they witnessed. They state that this cannot go on. The speaker then references news about the algin marbles being returned and questions how the other person “changed your mind about that,” specifically regarding returning the land that’s been stolen from the Palestinians—clarifying they are not talking about the state of Israel, but about since 1967 and what is happening now. They insist that there must be some stop to what is happening, and frame this as being for the sake of both Israelis and Palestinians.

Israel is accused of using Judaism as a shield to oppress Palestinians. The speaker believes that the recent assault was not an attack on Judaism, but a response to Israel's occupation and violation of Palestinian rights. They argue that Israel manipulates Jews for control and to fulfill religious prophecies. The speaker calls for an end to the killing of Palestinians, daily raids, detention, settler violence, and dehumanization. They emphasize that many Jews support Palestinian freedom. The actions of Israel, according to the speaker, do not represent all Jews.
