Neturei Karta is always committed to voice the
traditional Religious Jewish opposition to the
philosophy of Zionism and the existence
of the state of "Israel".
According to the Torah teachings, Jews are in exile
by divine decree. They are forbidden to leave exile
and create their own state by physical means.
Secondly, Jewish law forbids Jews to rebel against any
other nations. Jews are required to be loyal citizens in
the countries in which they reside. Hence, the state of
"Israel" is forbidden.
The creation of the state of "Israel" transgresses these
and other basic principles of Torah law. It was established
on the land of others, totally against the will of its indigenous
population, the Palestinian people, with endless and continuous
oppression of its people, including murder, brutal beating,
confiscation of their properties and baseless imprisonment etc.
Therefore religious Jewish leaders have always and
continually oppose Zionism and the state of Israel.
They predicted that only tragedy and bloodshed
will be its result, G-d should protect us.
The state of "Israel" has no right to rule over
any part of the Holy Land. The entire land should
be restored to the indigenous Palestinian people,
with the Almighty's help, peacefully.
In reference to the current tragic situation in Gaza,
Neturei Karta in Jerusalem issued several documents
to clarify the religious Torah position against the crimes
committed by the state of "Israel" and to express that
the state of "Israel" should not exist and does
not represent the traditional Jewish community.

Following is a letter that was sent from Neturei Karta USA and Canada
to Dr. Mahmoud Al-Zahar Co-Founder of Hamas:
January 25, 2008
To the Honorable Doctor Mamoud Al-Zahar
To the people of Gaza and the entire Palestine
Assalam Alaikum
May the Almighty's blessing be on you, your family,
all of Gaza and the entire Palestine.
With a heavy heart and great sorrow, we address
these words to you, at this present time.
We speak to you as the voice and the messengers of
true Jewry — the Jewish people, true to the
Almighty's Torah, from around the world.
Although we are limited in the means of expressing our
deepest and true feelings, by the barriers of words,
nevertheless, the Jewish people humbly offer to you
and all of Gaza and the entire Palestine, a few words,
to attempt to convey our deepest sorrow and heartfelt
sympathy that we all feel for you, in this present tragic
and traumatic time.
Great pain and sorrow has engulfed us by the tragic
news of what has befallen you and your family, by the
senseless murder of your dear son, Hussam and prior
to this calamity, your other precious possession,
your other son, Khaled.
We have not the words to console you, but our prayers
are to the great Almighty, to console and comfort you and
yours, upon this great tragedy. Amen.
It would be only proper and fitting, that we personally
write to and address each and everyone who has fallen
a victim of the Zionist state of "Israel". Unfortunately
and how tragic, the list of victims is daunting.
May our few and humble words be a message of
consolation, friendship, and loyalty, to you and all
of Gaza and the entire Palestine.
True Jews around the world, of course including in the
entire Palestine, never have and with the help of the
Almighty, never will accept the ideology of Zionism
and never will recognize the realization of its heretical
plan, the state of "Israel".
We always have and always will, with the help of the
Almighty, remain unaffiliated and estranged from this
aberration and the will of Satan,
"Zionism and the state of "Israel".
May we remind you, that the Almighty has clearly and
explicitly commanded us, the Jewish people, since the
destruction of the temple, around two thousand years
ago, to be humble and loyal citizens in every country in
which we reside. Furthermore, we are not to rebel against
nations, we are not to attempt to end our exile, we are
forbidden to create our own state or own entity.
We are to pray for, yearn for, and wait patiently for,
the day when the Almighty will reveal his glory
throughout the world.
At that time, all humanity together, will go up to the Holy
Land, in harmony and brotherhood, to serve the Almighty
in joy and peace.
Around one hundred years ago, the Zionists began arriving
in Palestine in order to bring to fruition the realization of
their dream, the transformation of Judaism from a religion
into a nationalism. And so began the sorrowful and bitter
history of the rebellion, the mutiny against the Almighty,
which eventually evolved into the illegitimate, state of
"Israel". The state of "Israel",
continuing in the Zionist tradition,
is in a constant mission to eradicate every vestige of the
"antiquated" religion and to uproot from the hearts of the
Jews, their connection with the Almighty, to be replaced by
the "new" Judaism, — Zionism which is void of G-d in its essence.
Since the creation of this state of "Israel", the
Palestinian people, continuously suffered indescribably.
They have been oppressed, beaten, murdered,
humiliated, displaced and expelled.
Although we presently want to address solely the
Arab people's suffering, nevertheless, let it be known,
that the G-d fearing Jewish people, share your plight.
They are and have always been the victims of these
same perpetrators of evil.
Beginning a little over 100 years ago, since these
sinners and atheists, Theodore Herzl and his cohorts,
raised their repugnant voices in promulgating their ideology
of the devil, the heresy of Zionism, Jewish people to,
have suffered and continue to suffer, indescribably both
physically and spiritually at their hands. Our G-d fearing
brethren, throughout the entire Palestine, have been and
are continually, beaten, murdered, imprisoned and
oppressed, since the beginning of Zionism up until today.
Although, this letter and the present moment, is not the
proper place and time to delve into the issue of our
personal suffering at the Zionist regime's hands, still
we feel it is necessary to bring these facts to the Arab
people's attention. Our sages state that to know that
many people share ones suffering, alleviates the suffering
somewhat. Also, it is to demonstrate to all, the sincerity
in our opposition to this tumorous growth on
the Jewish nation — the so-called state of "Israel".
Let it be known that our true leaders, the Rabbis
and Sages in Palestine, the Middle-East, Europe, and
throughout the world, have vociferously and most
fervently expressed and demonstrated their total
opposition to Zionism and the state of "Israel",
since its inception. They have untiringly decried and
condemned all the evils that it has wrought, the oppression
of the Palestinian people, and of the religious Jews
and the state of "Israel's"constant attempts, at eradicating
and destroying anything that is, G-dly and religious.
They have tirelessly and fearlessly demonstrated,
at great self sacrifice, publicly, their opposition to this
rebellion against the Almighty.
Countless edicts have been issued from our saintly
leaders requiring the Jewish people, true to the Almighty
and to His Torah, to distance and estrange themselves
from this sinful and illegitimate state of "Israel" and all
the evils that emanate from it.
Thank the Almighty, their message has been heard
around the world by many God-fearing Jews and they
have obeyed. What is more, untold thousands have stood
by their Rabbis and many thousands continuously
demonstrated fearlessly, till today, through-out occupied
Palestine and throughout the world, against the state of "Israel".
All of the above is well documented, but stifled
by the powers of the Zionist media control and by
the intimidation of all who dare to confront
or reveal the truth.
To date, it seems to our human and limited
comprehension, that this evil entity will, G-d forbid,
never cease to exist and it will continue to exude its evils,
on the innocent and G-d fearing people under its control.
Remember and comfort yourselves, our brethren
in Palestine, there is a great and exalted, benevolent,
Master of the Universe, who truly controls the world.
He can and will end this suffering!!
In the Torah it states, that transgressing against the
Almighty, will not be successful. This state of "Israel",
according to the Almighty's Torah,
must and will eventually end.
Let us all pray and beseech Him, to bring about the total,
peaceful and speedy dismantlement of this illegitimate
state soon in our days.
With the Almighty's benevolence, may He make this happen,
without any further pain or suffering. Amen.
Please convey this message to each and every one of
your brethren suffering under this oppression of "
Zionism — Israel". Especially important, please convey this
message to the bereaved relatives of the fallen victims,
the wounded and maimed, and most certainly to the ones
languishing in Israeli prisons and to the ones lying in
pain in hospitals.
Convey to them our solidarity and words of comfort
and support. We are humiliated by the actions of those
who use our name and our hearts are rent by
what is happening to them.
We constantly pray, worry and hope for you all.
May we merit to see soon in our days, the total,
speedy and peaceful dismantlement
of the state of "Israel".
May the Almighty bring upon us the words of
His prophecies when all men will serve Him in
harmony, peace and joy. Amen.
Assalam Alaikum
Very truly yours,
