They will also protest the Israel Day Concert in Central Park, which is to show support of the State of Israel and to rally against the withdrawal of the settlers from Gaza.
The Anti-Zionist Orthodox Jews will be denouncing the very existence of the State of Israel, which is strictly forbidden according to Jewish Law (the Torah).
The Torah expressly forbids the establishment of a Jewish state and commands Jews to remain in exile until released from that exile by G-d Himself, without any human intervention, at which time all nations of the world will live together in peace and serve the One G-d in harmony.
This condemnation of the State of "Israel" also encompasses all the actions committed by the State of "Israel" under the guise of Judaism, whether against the Arab Palestinian people or people of the Jewish faith.
Therefore, the Anti-Zionist Orthodox Jews proclaim that according the Torah, the State of "Israel" should be totally dismantled -- and pray that this should come about speedily and peacefully

A Day of Mourning for Torah Faithful Jews
While the Zionists celebrate the anniversary of the founding of the so called “state” of Israel, the worldwide Jewish community faithful to the teachings of G-d and the Torah gather to commemorate this anniversary as a day of sorrow and tragedy. Our sorrow is demonstrated by the wearing of “sackcloth” and the flying of black flags of mourning.
The founding of the Zionist state is in direct contradiction to the teachings of the Torah which forbids the establishment of a Jewish state and commands Jews to remain in exile until released from that exile by G-d Himself, without any human intervention, at which time all Nations of the world will live together in peace.
Two thousand years ago, at the time of the Temple’s destruction, the Jewish people were forbidden by the Creator (kesubos 111a)
• To go up en masse to the land of Israel
• To rebel against the nations
• To in any way attempt to end the exile
Torah faithful Jews are to behave in a civil, honest and grateful manner towards their hosts throughout the world.
The Zionist intervention against G-d’s will by establishing the “state of Israel” represents an official rebellion against G-d and the Torah, a rebellion which has generated untold pain and suffering. On the anniversary of the founding of this heretical Zionist state, true Torah Jews mourn the attempt to transform Judaism from a religion into a secular entity and the attempt to uproot the Torah teachings. We mourn the tragedies it has produced:, desecration of the Sabbath, loss of modesty, and a litany of violations against many laws of our faith and Jewish teachings, amongst them the command of compassion for our fellow beings. The list goes on.
We further mourn the deportation, subjugation, and oppression of the Palestinian people. The list goes on and on…..
On the tragic day of this anniversary we fast and gather in Synagogues around the world, praying for a speedy, peaceful, and painless dismantlement of the heretical Zionist state of Israel. May we merit that this year will be the year all nations together, in the service of one G-d, can celebrate in a free Palestine and a free Jerusalem.
