ארכיון: רבני "הסנהדרין החדשה" מגנים את רדיפת הפאלון גונג בסין

In 2004, the Jewish Ancient Religious Council Court, named Szent-Hürün, was re-established. At the beginning of 2007, this independent court based on ancient Jewish laws began its investigation on the persecution of Falun Gong by the Chinese Communist regime. The Council invited Falun Gong practitioners from Israel, USA and Australia to give their testimony and consulted with a number of health and law experts. Officials at the Chinese embassy in Israel were also invited to present their arguments. However, they did not show up and also tried to interfere with the investigation. This week, after about one and a half years of thorough investigation in Israel and in other countries, the rabbis declared these conclusions. The court came to a conclusion that the grave phenomenon of killing innocent Falun Gong practitioners does take place also due to considerations for trading their organs. The Council members called on the Chinese regime to observe the ancient prohibition of killing and to respect human life. We hope that the Chinese regime will pay attention to these words. On a whole, we are quite sympathetic towards the Chinese people, and we remember China being a refuge for Jews who escaped during the Holocaust, and we are sorry to hear that a lot of Chinese share the same fate like the Jews, who lived under the horrifying anti-Semite, human-loathing regime in the times of the Nazis. The Council also advises the Chinese regime to change its ways. In my opinion, this indicates a very serious weakness in the Chinese regime. Why? When Falun Gong says that we are a kind of qigong practice, like those practiced everywhere else, but with three principles, truthfulness, compassion and forbearance, in fact, this is the antithesis for the regime that says we are not truthful, we are not compassionate, we are very cruel, and we are impatient, and we are very ruthless. This is their justification for killing these people. I say to the Chinese regime, reveal your strength, demonstrate your might, prove that you are able to be true, benevolent and tolerant. The Rabbinic Council says it will soon make the English version of the statement available worldwide. NTD, Jerusalem, Israel.
