Anti-Zionist Jews Condemn Attack on Muslim, Mr. Shahid Amber
Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss, spokesman for Neturei Karta International, fervently condemned today the assault on Shahid Amber by a gang of Jewish youths in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn. He described the attack as "an affont to basic human decency." The Rabbi noted that, "It is especially repugnant to an Orthodox Torah Jew who has been schooled in kindness to have to witness this type of behavior in our own community."
The Rabbi pointed out that, "From the perspective of history it is particularly tragic that this has occurred. Jews and Moslims have generally lived in peace and harmony with each other. Here in the New York area this has always been the case. We fear that the youths, accused of this attack may well have had these ugly passions needlessly inflamed by the pernicious doctrines of Zionism."
Addressing the victim and his friends and family, he continued, "May Mr. Amber be sent a speedy and complete recovery from the Almighty and may his loved ones experience no further suffering."
Expressing his hopes for the future the Rabbi said, "We will do all in our power with the help of the Almighty to eradicate the causes of this incident from our midst by educating our communities and our children in particular in the true spirit of Torah harmony and peace."
