Earlier this month, tens of thousands of Orthodox Jews held a massive demonstration in New York City, denouncing the ungodly Zionist regime in Israel. The focus of their protest was the recent decision by the Israeli government to require yeshiva (religious school) students to serve in the Israel Defense Force. This video summary of the event includes highlights from some of the speeches, with English subtitles.

Many in the Orthodox leadership have steadfastly opposed the idea of a "Jewish State" since it was first proposed by the Zionists and funded by the Rothschilds over a century ago. Here are a few quotes from these True Torah Jews:

"We have already spoken about these nationalists. They are a recently-founded group with the purpose of fooling the people and leading the masses astray, thinking that they can settle the Holy Land by natural means and attain sovereignty over it. They are mistaken and they are swindlers, and their plan will not succeed."

-- Rabbi Zelig Reuven Bengis, Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem, 1911

"No one dreamed or imagined that such a thing could be, that there could be a Jewish state in Eretz Yisroel (Palestine) before the coming of the Messiah... That's how all [religious leaders] were, without exception. They saw, even back then, the great danger of Zionism... But unfortunately, after the war (World War II), when the Jewish people suffered the great tragedy...at the time when the Jewish people was in the lowest possible state, spiritually and physically...that is when the great test took place, when the Satan was given the power to set up a state in Eretz Yisroel, when Jews could be convinced that there was, G-d forbid, some salvation in it..."

-- Rabbi Moshe Teitelbaum, 1970
