TEHRAN -- Rabbi Ahron Cohen of the anti-Zionist Jewish group Neturei Karta here on Wednesday said, “We absolutely support the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Supreme Leader’s views on bringing to trial the political and military heads of the usurper regime.”

Cohen, who was in Tehran to participate in the fourth international conference on support of Palestine, said there is a major contradiction between Judaism and Zionism.
Carrying a card featuring “A Jew not a Zionist”, Cohen said, “Media play a key role in familiarizing the world with the difference.”
Judaism “is a divine religion based on compassionate,” Cohen told the Tehran Times in an interview.
Cohen condemned the massacre of civilians, the destruction of their homes, the bombing of schools and mosques, the use of phosphorous bombs and other outlawed weapons, and a blockade on food, fuel and medicine supplies to Gaza residents, saying, “The Zionists’ actions are crimes and is absolutely opposed to the divine religion.”
He also referred to his friendly talks with President Mahmud Ahmadinejad on the sideline of the conference and said, “We all believe that the Zionism is a clear manifestation of the oppression in the world.”
Praising the Islamic Republic’s efforts on hosting a conference on support for Palestine, Cohen stressed Iran’s important role in establishing peace and security in the region.
He also emphasized Iran’s role in neutralizing the false message that Muslims and the Jews are enemies.
Along with Cohen, other Neturei Karta rabbis from the UK like Rabbi Elhanan Beck also participated in the two-day conference.
Cohen also said censorship by Western media has created obstacles to cover anti-Zionist news and reflecting the actual facts.
The rabbi also expressed hope for having a Middle East free of war and conflicts in the near future. He said they pray for peace throughout the world.
“We hope the Zionist regime peacefully gives up doing crimes and we pray for the peaceful dismantling of the Zionism,” Cohen concluded.
The Fourth International Quds Conference -- the Palestine, the Model of Resistance, and Gaza, the Victim of War Crime – was held in Tehran on March 4-5.
