RABBIS TO BLOCK U.N. ENTRANCE TO PROTEST IRANIAN TERROR/NUCLEAR THREAT TUESDAY, APRIL 17TH,
AFTER NOON MARCH FROM IRANIAN UN MISSION,
THIRD AVENUE & 40th STREET
Please stand with these Rabbis as a show of support. We do not expect non-Rabbis to risk arrest.
Over two dozen rabbis have declared they will block the entrance of the United Nations this Tuesday, April 17th to prod the world body into meaningful action against the current threat of Iranian-sponsored terror and Tehran's imminent threat of nuclear blackmail.
The clergy will march on Tuesday at noon from the Iranian UN Mission on Third Avenue & 40th Street to the dramatic Isaiah Peace Wall at First Avenue & 43rd Street, then cross First Avenue to block the gates of the UN Secretariat Building.
"We are fully prepared to risk arrest," the rabbis stated, "because there can be no business as usual while Irianian-sponsored terror kills and maims thousands, from our American soldiers in Iraq to civilians across the Mideast. Iranian nuclear-armed missiles will soon threaten capitals from the Middle East to Europe.
"On Sunday, America and Israel marked Holocaust Day. The United Nations was born from the ashes of World War II. Yet is precisely the UN which is asleep at the switch when Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad both openly denies the Holocaust and threatens yet another against Israel.
The Bible tells us, "Do not stand idly by your brother's blood". We cannot be silent. We cannot stand by when Iran-sponsored terror causes daily bloodshed and an imminent nuclear threat that can lead to unprecedented mass destruction. We take our call to conscience directly to the gates of the United Nations".
Tuesday's action is coordinated by Amcha-Coalition for Jewish Concerns, whose national president is Rabbi Avi Weiss, spiritial leader of the Hebrew Institute of Riverdale.
