ZO: Belgian Rabbi Shmiel Mordche Borreman, who attended a demonstration in Brussels to condemn Israel and support Lebanon and Palestine, called Israel a �terrorist state.�Attending the 10,000-strong demonstration, Borreman, a leading anti-Zionist, began and ended his speech saluting protestors with the Arabic greeting, �Salamun Alaykum.�Following the demonstration, Borreman spoke to Zaman, and defended that Israel was an �illegal state,� adding, �Israel is committing terror. This country is a terrorist country.�

�Zionists are not Jews and Jews are not Zionists,� Borreman told Zaman.

He also wore this slogan on a sign attached to his chest throughout the demonstration.

Borreman asserted that Israel was employing the use of terror against Palestine and other countries in the region, and used a phrase more commonly used by the West when they talk about al-Qaeda suggesting that �They hold religion to ransom.�

Borreman accused Israel of using Judaism and Jews, and said, �We want to live with our Muslim brothers in peace. To reestablish peace, Israel should return all Arab lands it has occupied.�

The United State�s arrogance and the European Union�s callousness encouraged Israel, Borreman said, �The US and Israel declare all dissident countries rogue states. Today, there is only one rogue state in the world and that is Israel.�

Borreman expressed his support to the Palestinian and Lebanese people for their continuing fight against imperialism, and said, �I salute Iran, North Korea, and Venezuela for voicing their reactions against US imperialism.�
