British Rabbi Urges Boycott of Visits to “Israel”

In an interview with Press TV, a British rabbi said Jews should avoid visiting the Occupied Palestine territories, since it would contribute to further occupation of the region.

"Jews who realize the human rights deprived of the Palestinians, would not want to visit any place in occupied territories," British rabbi Yacov Weisz told Press TV on Saturday.

"They would boycott visiting the Western Wall and Hevron and a few other places and places of worship. Because if I were to go there, I would contribute to the occupation," he said.

Weisz, a member of Rabbis for Palestine and a self-described orthodox Jewish human rights organization based in London, opposes 'Zionism' and calls for a peaceful dismantling of the "Israeli" regime.

"A general problem with this regime" is that it "doesn't understand what peace means, [it] doesn't understand what respect and dignity for someone else means at all," he said.

Weisz, however, believes a time will come when al-Quds (Jerusalem) will be shared between the three faiths of Islam, Christianity and Judaism.
