Yisroel Dovid Weiss

Yisroel Dovid Weiss is an American anti-Zionist activist, rabbi, and spokesman for the worldwide religious group Neturei Karta. Residing in Monsey, New York, he believes that Jews should peacefully oppose the existence of the Israeli state: "It would be forbidden for us to have a State, even if it would be in a land that is desolate and uninhabited." He advocates a complete return of land to Palestinians, rejecting the 1967 borders and advocating coexistence. He believes that the restoration of the Land of Israel to the Jews should only happen with the coming of the Messiah, and not by self-determination.
