FOX’s Neil Cavuto conducted probably what was perhaps a very significant interview in 2006 where Neil Cavuto asks whether Israel should exist and Rabbi Yisroel Weiss from Jews United Against Zionism tells him, and the world, Mideast violence would stop if Israel ceased to exist.
The interesting part in all this controversial interview is that FOX News has since then pulled down the video which shows as a blank page on their site, the video is now accessible only on Youtube. Might the Fox News slogan be better reworded from We Report, You Decide – to We Report, We Decide

- Rabbi Weiss: This is the view that was shared throughout the past hundred years, when the whole movement of Zionism was created, the concept – the ideology – of transforming Judaism from spirituality, a religion, into materialism a nationalistic goal to have a piece of land, all the rabbinical authorities said this is antithetical with what Judaism is all about – expressly forbidden by the Torah because we are in exile by God.
- Cavuto: So, you shouldn’t have a state? You shouldn’t have a country? You shouldn’t have a government?
- Rabbi Weiss: We shouldn’t have a state. We should be living amongst all the nations as the Jews were doing for two thousand years as loyal citizens, people who are serving God, emulating God with compassion . . . Contrary to what people believe, that it’s a religious conflict, we have been living for hundreds of years among Muslims and Arab communities without any UN human rights groups to watch…
- Cavuto: Let me ask you this, Rabbi, was life better for the Jews prior to the creation of the Jewish state of Israel?
- Weiss: 100%. In Palestine, we have the testimony of the Jewish community living there and other lands that they were living in harmony and they pleaded with the United Nations, in the documents we have, the chief Rabbi of Jerusalem said we do not want a Jewish state. The Muslim, Christian and Jewish inhabitants were ignored with the creation of the State . . .
- Cavuto: Neverthless, you might not have had a country per se, but you were not a stranger to being abused or slaughtered over the millennia, particularly as recently as fifty sixty years ago?
- Weiss: There is an issue of being killed because of anti-semitism, and then there’s another issue where you antagonize and you create your anti-semitism through Zionism . . . in other words, it’s not a free for all – you knock out your neighbors windows and yell anti-semitism.
- Cavuto: I know you are an orthodox Jew, what do traditional Jews think of that position?
- Weiss: [The mainstream Jewish view] is that, true, we shouldn’t be having a state, but once it’s created the Zionist propaganda that the Arabs want to throw every Jew into the ocean and there’s a ingrained hate against the Jews, which they’ve convinced many Jews to believe, this is why they’re fearful of returning the land . . .
- Cavuto: Well you can’t blame them, right, I mean you have the president of Iran who says the Holocaust never existed and if he had his druthers he’d destroy Israel and all the Jews.
- Weiss: That’s also patently false. He has a Jewish community in Iran and they haven’t murdered them when they had the opportunity to . . .
- Cavuto: So, you don’t take him at his word that he would try to kill Jews?
- Weiss: He would [want] the dismantling of the political state of Israel. In fact, we went, a whole group of Rabbis this last year to visit Iran, and we were taken up by the leaders, we met with the vice president, he [Ahmedinejad] was in Venezuela at the time, we met with religious leaders, all of them stated unequivocally that don’t have a conflict with [Jews]
- Cavuto: So as long as Israel exists, Rabbi, you think – just itching for trouble
- Weiss: Jews are suffering, Palestinians and Lea are suffering . . . we pray for the speedy and peaceful dismantlment of the Jewish state.
- Cavuto: It’s interesting Rabbi, you don’t hear that view often.

Dil kay behlaanay ko Ghalib yay khayaal achcha hai; but Naturei Karta aren’t exactly a mainstream Jewish group.
There’s no way you can “dismantle” Israel now. I think given the current conditions, we would settle for creation of two states living peacefully with each other and without the inhumane oppression and aggressiveness being shown by one right now. A lot of land would have to be given back to the Palestinians, but again, you cannot “undo” what has already been done IMO.
isn’t a trick of israel to get some sort of sympathies from the world and to decrease the level of anger and hatred subconsiously revealing that there are some groups with in israel who are not zionists and anti israel.
i believe soon the prophecy of RASOOL ULLAH(saaw) will be fulfilled. and the existance of israel will be eradicated.
May Allah specially assist and protect the Muslims of Palestine! The cruel and cowardly Jews have again attacked “Ghazzah.” There are two hundred dead bodies of the Muslims, hundreds of sobbing and sighing, bitterly weeping Muslim children out of fear and thirst, and innocent girls staring with terrorized eyes only in two days.
O Jews, may Allah ravage you! You are very abject, mean, villainous and wicked. O the insects of the hell, the cancer of the land, the unlawful eaters and adulterators and fornicators, you do not know how to fight manly. If only the routes to Palestine were open! No complaints against the UNO. What relation does it have with the Muslim blood? No complaint against the world comity. It is itself thirsty of the Muslim blood. No complaint against the Muslim rulers. They cannot spare even a moment from worshiping America and Europe that they can think of their Din, their belief and the Muslims. No complaint against anyone. The Muslims captivate other Muslims to get prizes, purchase plots, make illegal estates and to please the Pagans. O the Palestinian brothers and sisters! No complaint against anyone. Both you and we are the oppressed. Let us beseech and pray humbly for each other. You should have the same intentions. Let us all make a UNO of the oppressed people! The oppressors have wealth and oil. We have Belief and blood. The oppressors have weapons and we have Great Name of Allah. The final victory will be ordained to us by the grace of Allah. There is no loss in shedding ones own blood. This blood is the creation of Allah. It is holy if shed in the way of Allah otherwise unholy and impure. There is no loss in laying down lives because The High Throne is very great and Paradise is very vast. The martyrs keep flying with the angels.
The Indian Polytheists have made alliance with the Jews of Israil. O the oppressed, let us also make an alliance; the alliance of supplications, the alliance of love, the alliance of emigration and the alliance of assistance. O the martyrs of Palestine, accept our salutations. O the fighters of Palestine, our supplications are directed towards you. If the intentions are true, earthquake will befall the Jews. Do intend and pray for the Mujahideen and the oppressed Muslims there. Request Allah to open routes to them. As the oppressors reach to help one another, we may also reach for their help with Allah’s Assistance. For this purpose, our entire generation will have to make sacrifice. O yes, the sacrifice to shatter the present oppressive system. O Muslims, there is no scope for us in this system. Erase the thinking of adjusting yourselves in this system. Do develop one thinking of ending, crashing and shattering this system. Lo, see, the advanced guard of our martyrs have undermined the roots of this system. Do advance, and get yourselves enlisted in the successors of this guard. There is the sacrifice of only one generation. Then, there is the delight and elegance of Islam and the Holy Quran. Allah-o-Akbar!
Israel has a right to exist as much as any other country but Israel has to stop the barbaric strikes and attacks on poor Palestanians in GAZA. There’s a difference between a Jew and a Zionist where a Zionist is as evil as Bin Laden and Ghazi of Red Mosque and a Jew as innocent as any other Muslim (just one example).
But then, Barrister Saab; that’s the problem: in the US in particular, any challenge to Zionist actions (and I mean that advisedly; in the sense of actions that further the ideology and aims of Zionism) have been painted with the anti-semitic brush and thus kept in check. It is only in the last 2-3 years that some discussion has started in the public space. Until recently, this was true without exception even in progressive circles. But things ARE evolving; we’ve come a long way since 9/11, quite frankly. And the current assault on Gaza and the coverage of it has been both a case in point and another “halla” (as we say in Urdu) in that direction.
And you, Barrister Saab, should understand that best; after all we have the same thing gaining momentum both in Pakistan and in the wider Muslim world: the bugbear of “Islamophobia” is used to keep any challenge Maududist/Qutbist/Salafist thought and politics.
And I am not saying Islamophobia does not exist–it is as real as anti-semitism; but my point is that both concepts have been used by extremists in our respective (Jewish and Muslim–the Hindus have their Hindutva, too) communities to their political benefit.
FYI, folks:
http://blog.ifaqeer.com/2009/01/wading-into-palestine-discussion.html
People are so uneducated. 98% of the people have no idea what Zionism is all about and Israel and its right to exist and take up arms without even knowing the cause.

Well, what I want to say is: Iam so happy to c some jews acting like this. that means that already knew that Allah the almighty sent them to exile because they disobeyed him. But Iam really concerned that Israel may establish such groups to lessen the pressure on the state of israel coz it is highly being criticized these days.But what this rabbai has just said about living inside the muslim and Arab communities peacefully was 100% right.Muslims helped the jews many times when (at that time) all the world unwelcomed them. For example, when the muslims entered Alandalus(Spain), they found underground jails for torturing all the people from all religions and nationalities except the Spanish ones. Most of those people who were tortured were Jews.What muslims did was to release the rest of the jews from such jails and helping them to establish a new life while living in harmony with the muslims in one peaceful and wonderful community under the Islamic leadership.
May Allah help the poor innocent Palestinians as well as th injued ones there in Gaza
Dear all,
Let’s make simple conclusion from all the discussion made by the spokes man from United Jewish lobby!
1. Jewish can never be Humble , Friendly, Loyal,with Muslim’s Unfortuantly due to some facts.
Facts: Jewish represent the great history of been falseship,un trusted, and two faces Especially with Muslim’s now i am not saying just Because i beleive in Quran and the last Prophet Mohhammad Mustafa Salalahu Aliehe Wa’ Aliewasalam, and the earlier prophet’s and the holy books from our ALLAH Subha nahu Tallah.
(Unless those who beleived in the holy book from the time of thier prophet’s ( the Messenger sended by ALLAH (God). Those who had not made thier own stories and changed order’s and the standard of living made my the creator of all ALLAH ta ALLAH.
The bottom line is US , UN, and the european looby is under great influence and pressured by few RICH Jewish lobbies (Including Industrialist, Banking sectors, FMCG;s) how can they go against them especially (When they dont wanna leave Alcohol,drugs,color bars, lesbiansship, gayship) they have to sacrifice alot.
2. One question for Non Muslim’s ( what do they fear of all) Money, power, or rules they made thier self by choice, and the Loans they enjoy) or a fear to lose thier religion? please non – muslims brother;s and sister;s the anwer you know better then me would be (These all things mentioned above) against follwoing thier religion.
2. Its the research that approx, or nearly non muslim dont follow thier holy book, or even read apart from attending thier religious occassion’, as compare to ISLAM people as been Muslim and even Non muslim;s are doing great research to find conclusion and thier answer in the true religion of ISLAM which follow;s the creator’s rule not made by the HUman;s.
3. The greatest fair the Jewsih brother’s and sister;s are is to face ISLAM, so they bought all the media, press, tecnology, and shoots many fires against ISLAM, of been extermist,Terrorist, and danger for earth, (then why people are converting ISLAM in thousands EVERY single DAY) please don’t be offended, am not speaking against anyone but trynig to pass my opinion based on fact; (FASTEST growing religion ISLAM, and all non muslim brother;s and sisters whom have done research by the help of ALLAH, they found thier answer’s in it (Alcohol bad for health and wealth for nation, loans kills society and caused mental sickness and credit crunch, gays and lesbian’s stops generation to grow and ending up with no children, and most of all higer risks of been getting AIDS/ HIV/ which itself is harmful for nation regardless the fact MUSLIM or NON MUSLIM (gamling causes lake of funds which demages social earning circle and ending in to mental and physical damges, all these facts, proves ISLAM to be the best solution for all problems.
My all dear brothers and sisters weather muslim and non muslim, we are born as brother and sisters, because of been creation of only one creator ALLAH.
Killing innocent people,humanity and peace is never instructed in any religion. Stop killing innocent people, as there is only one single command when ur in pain it heals you, when your hungary it provides you food, and when ur needy it furnishes you with luxuries weather MUSLIM or non MUSLIM, but , the higher reward in follwoing him , praising him, and following the true message without changing according to suits you.( fear the death and fear the creator) there is end to life and who knows when and where, then no power, no health , no wealth will save us from his punishment.
Jazakallah Khair,
ps: please forgive me if i have offended any one, in person or in group with effect to religion, culture, and color( as my intension is to pass message( rest is your choice) so that when you will be asked in the day of judgement( then i can standup and be witness i did pass my bit the rest was on you to accept pr reject) like cars , house , clothes then why not true Religion (ISLAM).
Waiting for Fox News to act in a fair manner is like waiting for smart comments on this site, never gonna happen.
Israel existence isn’t lawful it was contrived for world hegemony and to assail Islam and its followers.

A TREATISE ON THE NEED FOR A SEMITIC MODERN MASTURBATION MENTALITY
By Rebbe Moshe “hung so lo“ Rabeynu, March 23, 2009
comments
CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS MUST BE INCULCATED AS TO THE BENEFITS OF MASTURBATION IN THE ATTAINMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF A HEALTHY MIND AND A HEALTHY BODY! PENT UP SEXUAL FRUSTRATION IN CHILDREN HAS NEVER BEEN HONESTLY AND ADEQUATELY DISCUSSED AND DEALT WITH IN JEWISH DISCOURSE AND DOCTRINE. MODERN LIFESTYLES AFFORD INDIVIDUALS THE PRIVACY AND HYGIENIC FACILITIES NECESSARY TO MASTURBATE IN A PRIVATE, DIGNIFIED AND SANITARY MANNER. ONE CAN WELL UNDERSTAND THE IRE THAT WAS AROUSED BY MASTURBATING INDIVIDUALS FOUR THOUSAND YEARS AGO WHEN AN ENTIRE LARGE FAMILY LIVED TOGETHER IN A TENT IN AN ARID LOCATION. NOBODY WANTED TO HAVE A WAD OF FLYING JISSUM HIT HIM IN THE EYE OR LAND IN HIS HUMUS. WATER WAS SCARCE AND ONE HAD TO WALK , SOMETIMES LONG DISTANCES, TO THE WELL TO GET IT, IF IT WAS AVAILABLE AT ALL. UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES IT WAS A CHOICE OF WATER FOR DRINKING OR WATER FOR WASHING EJACULATE OFF OF ONE’S HANDS. THIS IS WHY THE EARLY SAGES WERE SO VOCIFEROUS IN THEIR CONDEMNATION OF MASTURBATION. WE JEWISH PEOPLE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A HORNY BUNCH AND, IF THERE WEREN'T THESE SEVERE STRICTURES AGAINST MASTURBATION AT THAT TIME, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN ERRANT CUMSTAINS ALL OVER THE PLACE AND THE SMELL OF FRESHLY RELEASED JISSUM WOULD HAVE WAFTED FAR AND WIDE, EVEN WITHIN THE HALLOWED HALLWAYS OF THE SACRED TEMPLE ITSELF. TIMES HAVE CHANGED. IF PARENTS TODAY STRESS THE BENEFITS OF MASTURBATION TO THEIR CHILDREN, THEY WILL HELP LESSEN THE OCCURRENCE OF STDs, AND UNPLANNED PREGNANCIES. SCHOLARSHIP LEVELS WOULD INCREASE DRAMATICALLY WITH THE RELEASE OF PENT UP ADOLESCENT EJACULATORY TENSION.. IF NECESSARY, PARENTS SHOULD SET AN EXAMPLE FOR THEIR CHILDREN AS TO THE PROPER METHODOLOGY FOR THIS ACTIVITY AND FOLLOW UP AND MAKE SURE THAT THEIR CHILDREN ARE MASTURBATING REGULARLY AT AN OPTIMUM FREQUENCY. KEEPING A MASTURBATION DIARY COULD BE A VERY USEFUL TOOL IN MAINTAINING THE PROPER SCHEDULE. EVERY PARENT SHOULD ASK HIS CHILDREN ON A DAILY BASIS, "DID YOU DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND MASTURBATE TODAY?" OH, OF COURSE, THE CHABADNIKS AND THE FRUMNIKS WILL YELL OUT, "BUT RAMBAM SAID THIS, AND RASHI SAID THAT AND RABBI AKIVA SAID THIS, AND THAT, ABOUT THE EVILS OF MASTURBATION." PROBABLY ALL THREE OF THEM WERE MASTURBATING WHILE THEY WERE WRITING THESE STRICTURES, ANOTHER CASE OF "DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO". WE MUST NOT CONTINUE TO LET OTHERS DO OUR THINKING FOR US UNDER THE GUISE OF RELIGIOUS EXPERTISE. SHALOM AND ZEI GEZUNT!

There is no democracy in Israel as a state is illegitimate and illegal and not recognized
Evidence of this if anyone wanted to write a comment in the Israeli websites
Does not allow him or be there are many obstacles to prevent him from writing a comment The reasons for Arab-Israeli conflict is the occupation of Palestine in 1948.
Palestine Arab Islamic state like the rest of the Arab and Islamic states surrounding
Them. Means that there are Jews and Zionists in Palestine a big mistake, because this entity
Zionist is not consistent with the surrounding area (such as language, customs, traditions and religion)
The only solution to end the Arab-Israeli conflict is the expulsion of Jews from Palestine
All of Palestine. The Jewish people will not rest and will not feel comfortable and stability
But if it gets out of Palestine and the Middle East completely. If people continue to
Jews in Palestine and the Middle East, the death and destruction will continue.
Palestine Arab Islamic state and will remain
It isn’t viable to give a better service compared to the one I found at online. Appreciation for performing therefore a lot for me.
