The Fellowship of Reconciliation
Vision and Mission Statements:
FOR’s Vision: We envision a world of justice,
peace, and freedom. It is a revolutionary vision of a beloved community where
differences are respected, conflicts are addressed nonviolently, oppressive
structures are dismantled, and where people live in harmony with the earth,
nurtured by diverse spiritual traditions that foster compassion, solidarity, and
reconciliation.
FOR’s Mission: FOR seeks to replace violence,
war, racism, and economic injustice with nonviolence, peace, and justice. We are
an interfaith organization committed to active nonviolence as a transforming way
of life and as a means of radical change. We educate, train, build coalitions,
and engage in nonviolent and compassionate actions locally, nationally, and
globally.
Since 1915, The Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR) has carried on programs
and educational projects concerned with domestic and international peace and
justice, nonviolent alternatives to conflict, and the rights of conscience. A
Nonviolent, Interfaith, tax exempt organization, The FOR promotes nonviolence
and has members from many religious and ethnic traditions. It is a part of the
International Fellowship of Reconciliation (IFOR), which has affiliates in over
40 countries.
Jews Not Zionists Contrary to common perception, Jewish
anti-Zionism is not restricted exclusively to the well know Jewish anti-Zionist
movements such as Satmar and Neturei Karta.
There are in fact many Jewish movements, groups and organizations whose ideology regarding Zionism and the so-called “State of Israel” is that of the unadulterated Torah position that any form of Zionism is heresy and that the existence of the so-called “State of Israel” is illegitimate.No one has created antagonism between Torah
and Zionism seeing that this antagonism is mutually inherent in the very nature
of Torah and of Zionism respectively.
Zionism is wrong from the Torah viewpoint,
not because many of its adherents are lax in practice or even anti-religious,
but because its fundamental principle conflicts with the Torah.
Unfortunately, due to many undesirable
factors, the view of Torah-true Jewry has been concealed from the general
public.
We, the staff at www.jewsnotzionists.org are
delighted that with the advance in media technology a substantial benefit to
researchers, students, and the general public has been made available. We are
elated at the advantage which the internet provides for the presentation of and
accessibility to a position so widely held yet so deliberately ignored by many a
Zionist-inclined medium.
It is our hope that the information presented
on this site will be of benefit to all and that we soon merit the peaceful
dismantlement of the so-called “State of Israel” and that Jewish-Muslim
brotherhood be restored as prior to the arrival of the Zionist scheme on the
global scene.

M.K.Gandhi: His Life, Work & Philosophy We’ve given our tremendous efforts in
making this site a supreme collection of the Works, Life, Teachings, and
Philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi.
We are updating this site on a regular basis,
keeping adding more new articles which would help you in knowing Mahatma Gandhi
more clearly. Taking into consideration, the response from the students of
various schools and colleges, we’ve reconstructed the students section which
includes many photographs, stories from Mahatma Gandhi’s life and works, and
related items.

Neturei Karta: Jews United Against Zionism Judaism is the faith of the Jewish people. It
is predicated upon G-d’s existence and His revelation at Sinai.
At Sinai, in the presence of the assembled
multitudes of Jews, recently released via Divine miracles from Egypt, the
Creator revealed His Torah to the nation.
This Torah contains the basic doctrines
of our faith, Divine commandments and the narrative of the earliest Jewish and
general human encounter with G-d.
Throughout the centuries Jews pledged their
assent to this Torah even when their lives were at stake. They maintained this
loyalty with almost unanimous allegiance until the dawn of the modern age. In
the three hundred—odd years since the so—called Enlightenment began, Jews
and Gentiles throughout European civilization have been losing many souls to its
evil clutches.
Today unfortunately there are many Jews who,
through no fault of their own, are ignorant of, and fail to, practice the basics
of their faith. This is a great tragedy for many reasons. Perhaps paramount
among them is the falsification of Judaism that results when those unaware of
its basic assumptions speak to the general public.
It behooves all Jews loyal to their faith to
proclaim to the world the truths of Judaism in as lucid a manner as possible.
Neturei Karta International is dedicated to
the propagation and clarification of Torah Judaism.
Its only loyalty only is to G-d and His
revelation.
One of the basics of Judaism is that we are a
people in exile due to Divine decree.
Accordingly, we are opposed to the ideology
of Zionism, a recent innovation, which seeks to force the end of exile. Our
banishment from the Holy Land will end miraculously at a time when all mankind
will unite in the brotherly service of the Creator.
In addition to condemning the central heresy
of Zionism, we also reject its policy of aggression against all peoples. Today
this cruelty manifests itself primarily in the brutal treatment of the
Palestinian people. We proclaim that this inhuman policy is in violation of the
Torah.
NKI seeks peace and reconciliation with all
peoples and nations. This is especially needed in our relations towards the
Islamic world where Zionism has for 53 years done so much to ruin Jewish-Muslim
understanding.
We welcome the assistance of all men of good
will and stand ready to assist all whose agenda coincides with ours.

Resource
Center for Nonviolence
RCNV Rejects Violence as a
Political Weapon. It shares the shock,
horror and sense of loss in the wake of the massive violence of 9/11. We express
our condolences to all of those affected by these tragic acts of violence. We
reject all violence as a political weapon. We especially abhor and reject
attacks on civilians. No political cause, no historic injustice, and no
political goal or religious belief, no matter how lofty, can possibly justify
the inhumanity of this violence.
In light of the bewilderment and
understandable anger caused by this violence, we encourage people to avoid hasty
conclusions and racial or religious stereotyping. We encourage support for our
political leadership in the hope that they develop a humane and prudent
response. We warn against a spirit of revenge or counterproductive acts of
counter-violence.
The Resource Center for Nonviolence was
founded on the conviction and bases its work on the confidence that there are
alternatives to the use of violence in pursuit of political goals. Indeed our
children’s future depends on the possibility of our developing nonviolent
means of waging conflict and resolving differences.
Religious fanaticism and bigotry, political
demagoguery, opportunism and belligerence, violence and terrorism are
antithetical to a humane and democratic society.
We must remember that the strength of our
nation is rooted in our peoples religious and cultural diversity, our mutual
tolerance and understanding, our pragmatic approach to solving problems, the
rule of law and our constitutionally protected freedoms.
