Continuous reports are coming forth to us from the Holy City of Jerusalem, which make one's heart melt and weakening all hands, how wicked people in a guise of archeologists, supposedly studying ancient history are digging up and desecrating an age old cemetery just beneath Temple mount, where holy sages are hidden in their final resting place.

Our brethren, the orthodox inhabitants of the Holy Land, who have risen in protest against this awesome desecration are beaten murderously by the wicked club wielding police, who have not demeaned from throwing tear gas bombs on anyone who happens to look Jewish.

Dozens of old frail and learned young men were thrown into squalid prisons all across the country in dungeons with the lowest criminals.

Woe is to us who hear all this.

If we, G-D forbid, remain silent, who can tell or foresee what the results will be.

A tremendous responsibility for the safety of our brethren and for the safety of the holy cemeteries, rests on us.

On account of the above, we hereby call upon all Jews who have fear of the L-rd and are faithful to all that is holy, come to their help: stand up fortwith as a strong wall to safeguard everything holy to us; to cry out to the entire world, and to do anything and through all means, to thwart the wicked plans of the criminal regime in the Holy Land.

WE THEREFORE CALL FOR A MASS DEMONSTRATION ON MONDAY SEPT. 14, '81 5:30 IN FRONT OF THE SHERATON CENTER 7th AVE. & 52nd STREET WHERE THE ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER IS STAYING.

At this demonstration we will hear the voice of Torah loyal Jewry, through our Rabbis.

We will announce to all the nations, that orthodox Jewry has no part or parcel with the zionist regime and all its abominations.

We will inform all peoples, that the Jewish people denounce the chief of these atheists and his entire entourage of collaborators, that have stood up against the Almighty and His annointed, and are trying with their might to destroy the remnant of faithful Jews in the Holy Land.
