London Protests for Lebanon get support of Hassidic Jews
Hundreds of anti-Israel protesters gathered in Trafalgar Square today to
demonstrate at the ongoing violence in Lebanon. A small group of Hassidic
Jews added their support at today's rally.
Rabbi Jacob Weisz, holding a placard which read: "Zionism and Judaism are
extreme opposites", described the Israeli air strikes as "outrageous".
He said that Jews and Muslims were happy to live together but Zionist
terrorists had divided a peaceful community.
He said: "The war is being ignored by the international community, it is
totally unacceptable. The international community must call for a ceasefire.
"It is outrageous that the Israeli government were too proud to negotiate the
release of two of their soldiers and instead started a bombing campaign."
As he spoke, Lebanese and Palestinians came up and thanked him for taking
part.
