- The Central Rabbinical Congress of the United States
and Canada has announced the first of several public demonstrations to
protest the excavation of an Ancient Jewish Cemetery in Acco, Israel and
to show that all Jews are NOT Zionists and that Zionism does not represent
the Jewish people.
-
- Speaking for the group, Rabbi Stern explained that a
railroad crossing outside the town of Acco (near Haifa) was being upgraded.
"Instead of building an overpass, the municipality insisted on a tunnel"
the spokesman stated, "in spite of early indications and historical
documents describing the site as a Jewish cemetery dating back to the era
of the Second Temple". Once digging began, the existence of the large
burial ground was confirmed.
-
- Demonstrators from several Israeli locations were arrested
and beaten, the rabbinical group added. Photos of the brutal police action
are available at www.truetorahjews.org/acco101704.html .
-
- The picketing is scheduled for Thursday, October 21,
2004 at 2:30 pm in front of the Israeli Embassy, 800 Second Avenue, New
York City, NY.
