WASHINGTON, May 26 /U.S. Newswire/ -- A delegation of Rabbis representing the Anti-Zionist Jewish community will be in Washington, Thursday, May 26, to greet the newly elected Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas. They will be in front of the White House during President Bush's meeting with President Abbas to express the Torah view that the entire land of Palestine should be under Palestinian rule and that according to Torah law, while in exile the Jewish people are forbidden to have their own state. Prior to the founding of the Zionist movement, some 100 years ago, Jews and Muslims coexisted peacefully in Palestine.
The gathering will take place on Thursday, May 26, 2005 at Lafayette Park, 2:00 PM EDT.
For interviews or further information please call Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss of Neturei Karta International at 914-262-8342.
