DESCRIPTION:BENEFIT * PREMIERE   New documentary by local film-maker Wendy W. Campbell: 
   “Neturei Karta: Jews Against Zionism”   Featuring an interview with 
 the engaging Rabbi Weiss of the Ultra Orthodox Jewish group called Neturei 
 Karta (which means “Guardians of the City” in the ancient Aramaic 
 language), which was formed in the 1930’s before Israel was created in 
 1948, to protest the new movement called Zionism. Rabbi Weiss, who is based 
 just north of New York City, explains why his worldwide organization 
 believes that Zionism is the exact opposite of Judaism and why they pray 
 for the peaceful dismantling of the Zionist state of Israel.   Mainstream 
 media has always ignored the activism of the Neturei Karta and other 
 anti-Zionism groups, so this film may be somewhat shocking, but very 
 enlightening, for many people who have always thought that all Jews are 
 pro-Israel and Zionists. Rabbi Weiss provides a fascinating and concise 
 history of Judaism and how Zionism has been aggressively seeking to 
 transform it, revealing their intimidation tactics and falsehoods. He 
 explains how the only way that true peace can be achieved is through 
 achieving justice for the Palestinian people, by apologizing for having 
 oppressed them and for stealing their land. He advocates making amends with 
 them by providing reparations and allowing them equal rights. According to 
 Rabbi Weiss, Zionism is blatant racism and against true Jewish values. He 
 asserts that Judaism is a religion, but Zionism has attempted to replace 
 religion with nationalism.   For more information about Neturei Karta,
