On Sunday December 11, 2005, while the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) held their annual dinner in support of the State of Israel, a demonstration
was held outside the Marriott Marquis Hotel in Times Square, NYC.
The Al-Awda, Palestinian Right of Return, joined by Anti-Zionist Orthodox Jews of Neturei Karta International protested the event.
Said a Neturei Karta spokesperson: "Neither the ZOA nor the State of 'Israel" are representing the entire Jewish People. They can speak just for
themselves or for their supporters. True Jews around the world remain loyal to Judaism. God has put us into exile. We are forbidden to rule over a state
of our own; we are commanded to be loyal to the host nations we are living in; and we are definitely forbidden not to take any part in oppressing other
people."
The demonstration was very peaceful and informative to many by-passers.
