The American Board of Rabbis Condemns France for Harboring Master Terrorist Yasser Arafat and Asks for an International Boycott
Following France's acceptance of Master Terrorist Yasser Arafat, the American Board of Rabbis voted unanimously to ask the Jewish people for a world-wide ban of everything and anything French!
New York (PRWEB) October 30, 2004 -- Following the welcome and acceptance by
the country of France of Master Terrorist Yasser Arafat, the American Board of
Rabbis (ABR) voted unanimously to ask the Jewish people for a world-wide ban of
everything and anything French – products, services, and even the French
language! The ABR is a New York-based Rabbinic association promoting Jewish
unity through the advocacy of religious and human rights for the Jewish people
worldwide. According to Board President, Rabbi Mordechai Yitzchok Friedman,
“France’s harboring of Arafat, a known and internationally recognized terrorist,
who is responsible for murder of thousands of infants, children, women, and men,
is consistent with their tradition of anti-Semitism and anti-American
activities.”
Beginning in 1940, France cooperated with the Nazis by
promulgating and enforcing anti-Jewish legislation and by assisting in the
deportation of Jews to extermination camps. The French Vichy government enacted
the Statut des Juifs (Jewish Law), which defined Jews by race and restricted
their rights. Vichy authorities also actively collaborated by establishing
internment camps in southern France, arresting both foreign Jews and French
Jews, and directly aiding in their deportation to extermination camps in
occupied Poland. Such collaboration was a crucial element of the "Final
Solution."
Following a recent U.N. Security Council vote to step up its
campaign against terror, which resolves to "condemns in the strongest terms all
acts of terrorism irrespective of their motivation, whenever and by whomsoever
committed, as one of the most serious threats to peace and security," United
States President George W. Bush signed the Global Anti-Semitism Bill, requiring
the US Department of State to monitor global anti-Semitism and annually rate
countries on their treatment of Jews. France’s harboring of a known terrorist,
such as Arafat, is a direct violation of both articles of
legislation.
Rabbi Friedman, along with ABR members who are children of
Holocaust survivors, experienced a dark period when the Nazis occupied Germany
and many Jews were rounded up and sent to concentration camps to die. “Since the
Holocaust, Jews have not been murdered as these terrorist Palestinian factions
under Arafat’s control are doing now. We must not tolerate this double-standard
where the proposed genocide of the Jewish people is applauded daily by Arafat
and his followers.”
The Holocaust began in 1941, during a Berlin meeting between the Grand Mufti
of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini and the Nazi Fuhrer of Germany, Adolf Hitler.
Hitler promised the Arab leader that after securing a dominant military position
in Europe, he would send the Nazi war machine into the Arab world under the
guise of liberating the Arabs from British occupation. About two months later,
the infamous Wansee Conference took place in which the Nazis produced their plan
to exterminate the Jews of Europe.
While captured Nazi leaders were
tried at Nuremberg, al-Husseini escaped and became the major force to bring
Hitler's program of genocide to the Arab world. Returning to the Middle-East,
the mufti ordered death to any Arab who opposed him, as served to groom his
nephew Mohammed Abdel Rahman al-Husseini to instigate violence against the Jews
and spread Nazi hatred throughout the Arab world. Mohammed Abdel Rahman
al-Husseini later changed his name to Yasser Arafat.
Rabbi Friedman concludes, “As it states in the Book
of Genesis, Chapter 12, Verse 3, ‘G-d will curse those who curse the Jewish
People,’ and so shall the people and country of France be cursed.”
