Grand Rabbi Moshe Sternbuch of the anti Zionist Jewish community in Jerusalem, known as Eda Hacharedis, spoke out against the State of “Isreal” and the government officials of the city of Jerusalem. He decried the existence of the State of “Israel” and its government‟s support of an “abomination Parade” which has been scheduled to take place in the heart of the Holy City, Jerusalem, on the street of King David, on June 21 „07. Thousands of orthodox Jews gathered in the mass demonstration, to voice the opposition of the Jewish religious community, to the existence of the Zionist State and against the Zionist government, for once more rebelling against the Almighty, by aiding and abetting the desecration of the Almighty‟s Holy City.

Thirty five thousand people gathered, to cry out against the “Pro-perversion Parade” and to demonstrate against the government officials of the city of Jerusalem, for supporting a rebellion against the Almighty. The demonstrators were peaceful and the protest began peacefully and orderly. According to Israeli television Channel 2, during the demonstration, two undercover policemen, dressed as Orthodox Yeshiva students, mingled with the demonstrators and began throwing rocks at the police. Their goal was the justification for the police to attack the demonstrators and to launch a confrontation with the special force police, known as “Yassam“. Unfortunately that is exactly what happened, the police fell upon the demonstrators and mercilessly beat them including amongst them, elderly men, women and children.

Wednesday, June 27, 2007 : 

Wednesday, June 27, 2007 Government employees of the town of Beit Shemesh, arrived to remove a sign, erected by the religious inhabitants of the town on private property. The sign called for the ladies arriving to shop at the mall, to be dressed modestly in accordance with the rules of the Torah. Signs of this nature, are displayed in many other Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods throughout the world. In this case this sign has been displayed for some years. The town officials sent the workers to remove the sign due to a flimsy technical excuse. The true reason for the removal of the sign, is obvious and transparently clear. It is another act in the attempt to destroy and uproot religion from the Holy Land. The present timing was to intimidate the anti Zionist movement, which has recently enjoyed a tremendously large upsurge. Eventually, the town workers left without removing the sign due to a spontaneous protest of hundreds of

A week later he had an operation and had ten metal pins installed in his foot in order to repair it. At the same time, five other Orthodox Rabbis were arrested. Their crime was for peaceably crying out, from the depths of their heart, for being prevented from protecting the sanctity and holiness of the Holy Land in their own deeply religious neighborhood. Those five people were badly beaten and taken to the arrest holding area in Beit Shemesh. In the evening they were transferred into a temporary jail at Migrash Harusim - Russian Compound in the old city of Jerusalem.
