Rabbi Dovid Feldman is a spokesman for Neturei Karta International, a religious Jewish anti-Zionist organization, which is active in giving publicity to the voice of opposition of many Jewish communities around the world, to the Zionist ideology, the Zionist state and its crimes committed to Palestinian people. NKI explains the distinction between Judaism and Zionism, that the relatively new Zionist movement is a rebellion against G-d, and that it does not represent the holy Torah, nor the entire Jewish people. Among dozens of other trips, Rabbi Feldman and his colleagues have visited twitch the besieged Gaza Strip, where they delivered to the oppressed population truckloads of medical aid, including an ambulance, purchased with tens of thousands of dollars they collected. They were warmly received there, as in other Arab countries. www.nkusa.org
