[ParissaKhoury]

As an orthodox jew. I support the creation of a free and independent Palestinian state. This will end all the violence. As Jews we need to accept that Israel is the occupying force and we need to do the right thing and give Palestinians their own independent state free from Israeli interferences. ISRAEL, USA AND UK NEED TO STOP THE GENOCIDE TAKING PLACE ON THE OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN LANDS or history wont be kind to them as it wasn't to the Nazis and every other occupation.

[AbdiNajaad]

It's not about religion, it's about humanity. Thank you brother from Judaism for the support to humanity

[harveywitt]

As a Muslim I love and appreciate this Rabbi for having the moral courage and strength for standing on the principles of truth and Righteousness.
Together we stand, divided we fall ✊

[kasondaleigh]

Thank you for describing the difference between Zionism and being Jewish so perfectly. Enlightening.

[freeloader]

We should all stand with this man and protect him.

[shinykneecaps]

As an ethnic non practicing jew, with family who lived in Palestine before the founding of Israel, it's refreshing to see other jews with the same feelings as I do.

Zionism is the leading cause of anti jewish sentiment across the world

[maureennewman]

This Rabbi is music to my ears .He speaks truth and love for fellow beings regardless of their religion 🙏

[Bullatic]

From a Palestinian Muslim I thank you Rabbi and have lots of love and respect

[whereisjustice]

Biden, should invite this Rabbi to congress and explain what is Judaism. I respect this Rabbi so much.

[Ali_FloatLikeAButterfly]

I am so glad that so many of my Jewish family are sharing this history and supporting our Palestinian family. Shalom.

[charlesclaridy]

Unfortunately there are TOO MANY throughout the world that do not realize that Judaism and Zionism ARE NOT the same thing! Thank You Rabbi for reaching out to the world with your message! Prayers for Peace in The Mideast on all sides!

[felixdevilliers]

How wonderful to hear a Rabbi speak like this.

[yukattotamer]

As an Arab who's living in Israel, for some reason, with all this going on, you deeply touched me and stirred strong emotions within me. I have many Jewish friends, but lately, I've been upset with them because they seem unable to see the suffering on the other side as well. I hope some of the Jews I know will adopt your views.

[jdianov]

Mad respect to this man. Hate begets hate. Suffering promotes violence. The cycle must stop.

[tiggywinkle]

This is the most humane and simple explanation I have heard. I haven’t an anti
Semitic bone in my body and what is happening to the Jews and Palestinians is dreadful. I am Christian. Thank you Rabbi for this lucid and sympathetic talk.🙏

[craiggibbons]

What an absolutely wonderful human being from this interview.
He has morality and compassion.

If more people saw this the world would be a better place.

[gammadas]

My deepest respects for Rabbi Yisroel. Standing up for what is right in spite of immense opposition and no fear of reprisals.

[avocadomonkey]

Rabbi Weiss, your humanity, wisdom and truth bring tears to my eyes. May your message spread widely and powerfully.

[juandom]

Thanks for Rabbi Weiss and Neturei Karta, for their support for the Palestinian cause. Which caused them a lot of troubles many times.
Thanks for your courage and honesty!

[Zeinout]

A political ideology is not an ethnocentric religion- "Zionism is not Judaism" well said Rabbi Weiss, we need more heroes like this in the world.
