Following the Zionist regime’s unprovoked war against Iran, launched on June 13, 2025, a brutal aggression that has resulted in the killing of hundreds of Iranians including women and children,

A series of protests and rallies took place across the globe, where anti-Zionist Jews participated and spoke out to condemn the Zionist assault. Demonstrations were held in Washington D.C., New York City, London, Toronto, and Montreal, Canada. These gatherings denounced the unprovoked Zionist aggression against Iran as criminal and unacceptable.

This vicious attack. constitutes a clear violation of international law. Beyond being a crime under international law, this aggression also represents a profound violation of the Jewish religion. According to Judaism, acts of aggression and murder are strictly forbidden and contradict the most basic principles of Jewish belief. The Torah teaches that Jews must pursue peace and reject violence, especially against innocent civilians and sovereign nations.

In addition, this is a violation of Jewish religious teachings regarding Jewish exile. According to the core tenets of Jewish belief, the Jewish people are in a divinely decreed state of exile, awaiting divine redemption, at which time all humanity will serve the Almighty in peace. Jews are forbidden from rebelling against nations or waging wars. Instead, we are required to live as loyal citizens and peaceful neighbors, appreciating our host nations and praying for their well-being.

This principle is especially relevant in the case of Iran, where a large thriving Jewish community resides in peace, respect, and security. For centuries, Jews have lived in beautiful harmony in Iran, and Jews are grateful for Iran’s hospitality toward them. Jews in Iran — and around the world — understand and appreciate this reality.

The fact that this criminal regime calls itself “Israel” and claims to act on behalf of all Jews is deeply embarrassing to Jews around the world. It is, in fact, a desecration of the Jewish religion when it is misused to justify horrific crimes. The Zionist entity does not represent world Jewry — nor does it represent the Jewish religion.

Standing in Solidarity with the People of Iran

In a powerful gesture of solidarity, a delegation of Rabbis visited the Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations in New York to express their condolences to the Iranian nation.
Many of the victims were killed in their homes during the bombardment of residential areas. At least 13 children and 49 women are among the confirmed casualties.

Separate Rabbinic delegations also visited the Iranian embassies in London and Brazil, delivering messages of grief, unwavering solidarity and sympathy.

Rabbi Weiss recalled the peaceful coexistence between Jews and Muslims throughout history in the Islamic world, pointing to it as proof that real peace is possible when based on mutual respect rather than colonialism. He emphasized that Iran has historically been a safe haven for its Jews, and that the Islamic Republic of Iran, since its founding, has been a beacon of dignity and security, not only for Muslims but also for Jews.

The Rabbis wrote their messages in the Book of Condolences, offering words of sorrow and solidarity. The delegation concluded its message with a moving prayer: *“We ask God to have mercy on the families of the victims and to protect the Islamic Republic of Iran and its people.”

On Sunday , July 6, 2025, Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss met with Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit in Brazil.

During the meeting, Rabbi Weiss delivered a solidarity message from anti-Zionist Jews around the world. He strongly condemned the Zionist regime’s military aggression against Iran and reaffirmed the support and solidarity of anti-Zionist Jews with the people and government of Iran. Rabbi Weiss emphasized the distinction between Judaism as a religion and Zionism as a political ideology, underscoring that many Jews globally remain faithful to their religious principles—which stand firmly opposed to Zionism.
