Orthodox Jews harassed by Zionists

Orthodox Jewish protest

The extremism that has distinguished Zionist actions in the occupied territories and most recently with the brutal attack on Gaza, extends also to Zionist behavior elsewhere.

British police are providing protection to a number of pro-Palestinian Jews who have been targeted by Zionist fanatics in the UK.

Rabbi Aharon Cohen, an Orthodox Jew and a leading member of the anti-Zionist Neturei Karta movement, had an explosive device placed in his mail box - payback it seems for attending a Manchester demo to protest Israeli actions in Gaza.

Rabbi Elchenon Beck in company with six other rabbis attended a rally outside the Israeli Embassy on January 6 to express their solidarity with the Palestinians of Gaza. On the way home from the rally they were set upon by assailants described by the rabbi as Zionists.

Rabbi Beck said they were forced to call the police, since one of their group was pushed to the ground and others threatened. He said "All the time they are trying to intimidate us, but we get used to it."
