Blessed Are The Peacemakers: Rabbi David Yisroel Weiss

by Mariella Konings
November 29, 2007


While the high and mighty held talks behind closed doors in Annapolis (MD) on how to establish peacetalks between Israel en the Palestinians, outside the US Naval Academy the Neturei Karta, or Orthodox Jews United Against Zionism, staged a demonstration tuesday against the state of Israel and for peace with the Palestinian people. Doing so, once again Neturei Karta proved themselves to belong to those who make real hope for the Middle East possible.

For as he was surrounded by a noisy and vocal crowd, the brave Neturei Karta spokesman rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss held a heated plea for peace:

We pray to God every single day for the speedy and peaceful dismantlement of the state of Israel, then we can once again coexist as we have for hundreds of years. We have all the rabbis who have testified lived in the old state of Jerusalem, in the old state, in the old city of Jerusalem, in the old city, there lived all my (unintelligible). This rabbi lived in the old city of Jerusalem before 1948. He’ll tell you how he lived and coexisted with all the Arab neighbors, how they babysat each other’s children when they went to Yom Kippur, when the women went to Yom Kippur on the fastday the muslim neighbors babysat their children. The most precious objects they gave to them to protect. How can that be if they are our enemies, mortal enemies? Because they are not. It’s not a religious conflict. Thats a zionist ploy of accusing everybody of being anti-semitic. You want peace? You want to have a conference here of peace, step back and look and read the facts. Not the facts that have been misconstrued by the zionist propaganda but the facts that are reality, the facts on the ground; how we have been living for hundreds of years in Yemen, in Morocco, in Tunesia, in Palestine, in Egypt. What Arab land have not Jewish people been living together with Muslims without any human rights groups? Tell me what land the Jews did not live in harmony with the Muslims? In Iran, we have over 25.000 Jews there, thank God. Why? Because this is not a religious conflict. It is purely because of a political movement, a relatively new movement which is antithetical, contradictory to the Jewish religion of thousands of years. Judaism is spirituality, a religion of compassion to emulate God. Zionism was created onehundred years ago by atheists. People who abhorred religion, who wanted to transform Judaism from religion to nationality, to a purely materialistic base, Godless in it’s essence. That is not Judaism and they have no right to use the name of Israel. They have usurped our name, they’ve stolen our symbols and then they have stolen our identity. And they are causing death and destruction, year in and year out. For over fifty years death and bloodshed has not stopped because of your ideological belief called zionism. They sacrifice on their idol, bodies, human beings, hearts, souls. They rend, they destructed houses, they destructed people’s lives. What can we do about this? Let’s step back and think. There is a solution, with God’s help. If you would put away the politics then we can know that we have been living and coexisting together. We must profusely apologize to the Muslims, to the Arabs, what has been done to them. And then we can return and make restitution to what has been done to them. And then we will be able to live in harmony. Not an Israeli state, but one Palestinian state. One state that we have been living for hundreds of years. Bear do and be peace. And you will see that the fifty years have been a nightmare, a mirage and nothing to do... (Responding to people in the crowd:) You are fearmongering, that is what zionism does. It’s panic; throwing oil into a theatre and yelling ‘fire!, fire!’, that is what zionists do. We have been living with the muslims, we have been.. (Responding to people in crowd:) Yes! Ahmedinejad keeps on stating that he does not want to harm the Jews but the zionists go and attack. (Responding to people in the crowd:) Ofcourse you don’t, because you have an agenda. You want to burn for zionism, you want enemies, you want enemies in order to be able to say you are protecting the Jews. We don’t want enemies. We want to live in peace. We have been always been living in peace with the Muslims and we will, with God’s help, continue to live with them in peace. We emplore the participants in this conference: read, step back, study the history thruthfully, and see what the true Jewish voice is of hundreds of thousands of Jews who are still true to their religion, whether they are living in Jerusalem, whether they are living in New York, what do these Jews. In Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, hundreds of thousands of Jews who are the most God-fearing in the community, why are they all opposed to the state of Israel? Why is there not one Israeli flag in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. These are the most God-fearing religious Jews, why don’t they fly the Israeli flag? They have had hospital help, they have had (unintelligible) free of charge to help people, the most greatest, charitable organisations. Why these compassionate people don’t support the state of Israel? (Responding to people in the crowd:) Why not? Why not? Because they are selfhating Jews? Why? Are they fooled? Are they fools? The reason is simply because they fear God. I know why, you don’t know why and I know why: because they are God-fearing and God forbid us to have a state. We are in exile, by godly decree, exile. And we are forbidden to oppressive people, we are forbidden to oppress the Palestinian people and steal their houses. That is what Judaism says. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not kill. We have no right to rule of the land of the Palestine. This is what Judaism says, not what these robbers say. It’s what real Jews say.”


Blessed are the peacemakers, for they speak sense and truth in these times of madness.

“They” Live, We Sleep

There are powers at work in this country about which we have no knowledge.” - Queen Elizabeth II to Paul Burrell in november 1997, at Buckingham Palace.

The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes (...) Governments do not govern, but merely control the machinery of government, being themselves controlled by the hidden hand.” - Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881), founder of the British Conservative Party and first British Prime Minister of the UK in his novel ‘Coningsby’ (1844)

Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the Field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.” - Woodrow Wilson, US President from 1913 to 1921, in his book “The New Freedom” (1913)

A super-state controlled by international bankers and international industrialists acting together to enslave the world for their own pleasure.” - Representative Louis T. McFadden, later the chairman of the House Banking and Currency Committee, in 1913, after the Federal Reserve Act was passed.

Only 300 men, each of whom knows all others govern the fate of Europe. They select their successors from their own entourage. These men have the means in their hands of putting an end to the form of State which they find unreasonable.” - Attributed to famous German politician Walther Rathenau, ‘Wiener Presse’ of December 24, 1921.

The real menace of our republic is this invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length over city, state and nation. Like the octopus of real life, it operates under cover of a self created screen....At the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller Standard Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as international bankers. The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both political parties.” - New York City Mayor John F. Hylan in 1922

The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson.” - Franklin D Roosevelt, the only US President to serve 3 terms (1933-1945), in a letter dated November 21, to his advisor Colonel House.

Fifty men have run America, and that's a high figure.” - Joseph Kennedy, the father of president John F. Kennedy, in ‘The New York Times’ of July 26, 1936.

The real rulers in Washington are invisible, and exercise power from behind the scenes.”- Felix Frankfurter, Supreme Court Justice, 1952.

The government of the Western nations, whether monarchical or republican, had passed into the invisible hands of a plutocracy, international in power and grasp. It was, I venture to suggest, this semi-occult power which (....) pushed the mass of the American people into the cauldron of World War I.”- MajorGeneral J.F.C. Fuller, British military historian, l941

Those who formally rule take their signals and commands not from the electorate as a body, but from a small group of men (plus a few women) (...) It exists even though that existence is stoutly denied. It is one of the secrets of the American social order (...) A second secret is the fact that the existence of the Establishment - the ruling class - is not supposed to be discussed.” - Arthur S. Miller, the George Washington University law professor who studied the rulers behind the scenes for decades.

There exists in our world today a powerful and dangerous secret cult. This cult is patronized and protected by the highest level government officials in the world. Its membership is composed of those in the power centers of government, industry, commerce, finance, and labor. It manipulates individuals in areas of important public influence - including the academic world and the mass media. The Secret Cult is a global fraternity of a political aristocracy whose purpose is to further the political policies of persons or agencies unknown. It acts covertly and illegally.” - Victor Marchetti, who worked for the CIA from 1955 untill 1969, in his book “The CIA and the Cult of Intelligence” (1974).

[The Kennedy] assassination has demonstrated that most of the major events of world significance are masterfully planned and orchestrated by an elite coterie of enormously powerful people who are not of one nation, one ethnic grouping, or one overridingly important business group. They are a power unto themselves for whom those others work. Neither is this power elite of recent origin. Its roots go deep into the past.” - L. Fletcher Prouty in his book “ JFK: The CIA, Vietnam, and the Plot to Assassinate John F. Kennedy”

The drive of the Rockefellers and their allies is to create a one-world government combining supercapitalism and Communism under the same tent, all under their control (....) Do I mean conspiracy? Yes I do. I am convinced there is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in planning, and incredibly evil in intent.” - Congressman Larry P. McDonald in 1976. McDonald was killed after the Korean Airlines 747 that he was on was shot down by the Soviets.

An immensely wealthy and powerful republic has been hijacked by a small cabal of individuals, all of them unelected and therefore unresponsive to public pressure” - Scholar Edward Said (1935-2003), who amongst others taught at Harvard and Yale, in March 2003 in Al-Ahram.

In 1983/4 I warned of a take-over of world governments being orchestrated by these people. There was an obvious plan to subvert true democracies, and selected leaders were not being chosen based upon character but upon their loyalty to an economic system run by the elites and dedicated to preserving their power. All we have now are pseudo-democracies.” - Dr. Johannes Koeppl, former German Minister of Defence official and former NATO official, in 2003.

It was a criminal society that I was dealing with.” - Dr. Johannes Koeppl in 2003.

"... closed orders and secret societies, whether they be religious or governmental, are the groups that have the hardest time reforming themselves in the face of failure without outside input." - Chief Weapons Inspector David Kay mentioning secret societies while testifying on the weaponsinspections in Iraq to the US Congress on February 9, 2004.

“...the amazing thing is we are being taken over, basically, by a cult....” - Seymour Hersh talking about the Neocons in American politics during a speech at the Stephen Wise Free Synagoge, December 2004.

In President Bush’s first term, some of the most important decisions about U.S. national security — including vital decisions about postwar Iraq — were made by a secretive, little-known cabal. It was made up of a very small group of people led by Vice President Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.(...) I believe that the decisions of this cabal were sometimes made with the full and witting support of the president and sometimes with something less. More often than not, then-national security advisor Condoleezza Rice was simply steamrolled by this cabal.” - Lawrence Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell from 2002 to 2005, adressing the Neocon cabal in the LA Times. The word “cabal” refers to a group of plotters and is derived from the word “kaballah”.

You have a collapsed Congress, you have a collapsed press. The military is going to do what the President wants. How fragile is democracy in America, if a president can come in with an agenda controlled by a few cultists?” - Seymour Hersh during a speech in October 2006.

Maybe the people who think there's a conspiracy out there are right.” - Congressman Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.), member of the US House Homeland Security Committe, after being denied acces to classified documents about the way government is preparing to handle a terrorist attack.
