The Eidah Chareidit calling for Jerusalem to have ‘international status’ – in 1947
This is a postscript on the last post, that I think deserves its own post.
BTW, that last post triggered off a massive spam attack on the blog… always a sign that you’re probably doing something right.
When you read the following, remember this:
- R Yosef Tzvi Dushinsky was closely related to the Sabbatean families who were funding the ‘Old Yishuv’.
- Sabbateans had a strong presence in Eretz Yisrael right from the beginning, with the initial exception of Jerusalem, the only city in EY who did not get behind ‘Shabtai Tzvi’, initially.
- That started to change when R YEHUDA CHASSID MEISLES left Europe with 1500 people he’d rounded up as part of a large ‘Sabbatean missionary campaign’ to get more Jews back to EY to ‘welcome back’ Shabtai Tzvi as the messiah. (False messiahs who go into ‘hiding’ for decades after their death, while their followers expect their imminent return as the acclaimed ‘moshiach’ is not a new thing, and has some basis in a warped understanding of the Zohar.)
- The Sabbateans had two main wings, one radical (that devolved into the Frankists, many of whom became xtian converts, freemasons, and later, communists) and the more ‘reasonable’ one (many of whom became ‘Reform rabbis’, freemasons and ‘z-ists’.)

Whatever their cover story, most of the Sabbateans were also masons, and also very big into ideas of ‘one world religion’ and a unified brethren.
With all that background info, now read on.

We have covered ‘Rav Y.T. Dushinsky’ before on the blog.
R’ Yosef Tzvi Dushinsky was ‘parachuted in’ from Chul, to become the head of the Eidah Hareidit in Jerusalem.
Think about how strange that is, for a moment. Until you remember, he comes from very good yichus, connected straight into the core Sabbatean families who were funding the Old Yishuv, including the GRA’s perushim, from Europe.
He died in 1948, and you can read some of his ‘anti-zionism’ comments on the Internet Archive, HERE.
Like, this one:
When in mid November of 1947, it became evident that through zionist and Communist pressure the United Nations would vote for the partition of Palestine into Jewish and Arab states, Rav Dushinsky appealed, in the name of 60,000 Jewish Orthodox residents, to the United Nations by cable and a memorandum following, that Jerusalem should not be included in the Jewish state and should be given international status.

The Question of Jerusalem
MEMORANDUM ON JERUSALEM
by Chief Rabbi Yosef Tzvi DushinskyForwardThe declaration of the Mandate government that it will shortly remove its administration from the Holy Land gives us cause to declare our position and our request for guarantee for the existence of the Orthodox Community (Edah Hacharedis) in the Holy City, a Community which existed before the rule of the Mandate Government and which is a continuation of a Jewish Community of hundreds of years, in connection with the proposed status which the United Nations Organisation plans to impose on Jerusalem.
1.The Community of Orthodox Jews in the Holy City, which looks forward to the fulfillment of the prophecy that all peoples shall be rid of the spirit of animosity and that a brotherhood of nations shall arise, as the Scriptures state: The mountains of the L-rd’s house shall be established. . . and all the nations shall flow unto it (Isaiah 2), demands that the city which is sacred to all the nations should remain unique and above all national interests of all peoples. The existence of the Holy City should be secured by a firm international agreement, that under any circumstances which may arise between nations, all parties shall accept the position that it (the Holy City) be considered neutral, and nothing should be done directly or indirectly to change its neutral status.
2.A greater Jerusalem, given the status of an international zone by international agreement, is the surest guarantee for its neutrality. All efforts should be directed to assure that in this Holy City there should be implemented the unity of international brotherhood towards all Mankind, and to prevent the underlying causes for disharmony and animosity, and to assure the rule of pure G-dliness and religious worship to all who dwell in this city.
3.Any form of division and splitting up of Jerusalem will have the effect of underscoring the differences between races and religions, which contradicts the principles of harmony tolerance and brotherhood of the inhabitants; and will eventually imperil for the future peace of the city. Jerusalem must unify all its residents. It should be recognized that a citizen of Jerusalem stands above all narrow national interests. Even in the days of David and Solomon Jerusalem was not divided according to the tribal boundaries but belong to all.
On the basis of these principles we sent our cable with our just demand: 1) Not to include Jerusalem in any state and not to parcel it into separate parts. 2) Not to impose on the residents of Jerusalem the citizenship of any state, but solely the citizenship of any state, but solely the citizenship of the Holy City; as a resident of Jerusalem and an international citizens, and this city should be declared an open international city.
By guaranteeing these two points there is every reason to believe that the Holy City shall be the seat of peace, security and international brotherhood.
In the hope that this memorandum shall be promptly brought before the authoritative organs of the United Nations, and in the belief that it shall gain the attention necessary for the fulfillment of our requests which are in accord with the spirit of the United Nations Charter, we hereby affix our signatures with all the respect.
The above memorandum was sent to the United Nations, Lake Success, N.Y.November 19, 1947 by Chief Rabbi of the Orthodox community in Palestine, Rav Yosef Zvi Dushinsky.

PS: Take a look at this post, too:

Having just re-read that post myself, here is the snippet about Yosef Tzvi Dushinsky’s family tree – Sabbatean royalty, all the way:
CHANOCH HEINACH SHICK ABD SHKLOV m MINDEL RIVLIN (sister of that same BINYAMIN RIVLIN who was hanging out with YEHOSHUA ZEITLIN) > R YITZHAK EIZIK SHICK (b 1730) m ? POPPER > R DAVID SHICK (b 1755) > R JOSEPH SHICK (1780-1813) m RIVKAH FRANKEL > LEAH SHICK m R AHARON ISAAC DUSHINSKY > R YOSEF TZVI DUSHINSKY, (1867-1948) ABD JERUSALEM.
In that same family tree, we find that the MAHARAM SHICK is his maternal uncle – i.e. the brother of his mother, Leah Shick, and also a direct descendant of that same CHANOCH HEINACH SHICK, ABD SHKLOV.
We’ll come back to him another time, BH. But what yichus!!! Already, we have connected him to Shklov, the Gabia Hakesef Binyamin Rivlin, fingered as the ‘secret Frankist Rebbe’ by Athol Bloomer, the POPPER family of rich prague tobacco merchants who intermarried with the family of MOSES DOBRUSHKA, leading students of the ALTER REBBE of CHABAD – and we didn’t even get to the DUSCHINSKY part yet…
==
On the DUCHINSKY side, we hit a problem.
The family tree has been almost totally scrubbed. This is what remains:
SHIMON HASSID > YISSACHAR DOV > SHLOMO PETERSELKA > YAAKOV / JACOB PETERSELKA > MICHAEL (MIKHAIL) NADASH SQUARENINA (DUSHINSKY) (1774-1870) > R AHARON ISAAC DUSHINSKY (1794-1823) m LEAH SHICK > R YOSEF TZVI DUSHINSKY, (1867-1948) ABD JERUSALEM.
That ‘HASSID’ surname links us back to the family of the Vilna Gaon…. But of course, all the real info has been scrubbed. Even to the point of having gravestones ‘disappeared’.
==
That’s what I wrote way back when – but now, after THIS post on the book from 1826 describing the ‘Zoharites’, we know that YEHUDA CHASSID’s real family name was actually ‘MEISELS’.
And that many of the extended ‘MEISELS’ family did indeed become xtians, across many, many generations – but then also, conveniently, married back in to the Jewish community, where they were welcomed with open arms as ‘big rabbis’.
Snippet:
If you go HERE, you will see that yes indeed, there is a ‘R YEHUDA LEIB MEISELS CHASSID’, who is indeed an ‘uncle’ of ISRAEL ISSUR BONEMS MEISELS, the Chief Rabbi of Lublin [whose alter ego, ‘Wolf Levy’, become the xtian FRANCIS LOTHARI PHILLIPI.]
Fancy that!
And, you will be shocked! shocked! to learn that this ‘R YEHUDA LEIB MEISELS CHASSID’ was actually a really important guy, in the SHACH’s family tree (who in turn, was in the REMA’s family tree), and the ABD of Przemyśl & Lviv – very big, important cities, Jewishly.
He’s meant to have died in 1694 – just as ‘Yehuda HaChassid’ was going all over Europe as a Sabbatean missionary. Isn’t that lucky? And of course, they have no idea when he was born. Of course not.
His daughter is that same ‘BLIMA CHASSID / MEISELS’ mentioned above, who links us straight into a whole bunch of Sabbateans that I have been researching for years…
==
So, Yosef Tzvi Dushinsky descends from SHIMON HASSID – which is probably, SHIMON HASSID MEISELS.
But as all the gravestones have been ‘disappeared’ for his family – even after WW2 ended, so we can’t just blame the Germans – all this has to stay in the realm of informed speculation.
==
Here is one example of a prominent xtian ‘MEISELS’ from this period, from HERE:
Screenshot:

==
As well as being CHASSIDs, MEISELS also were ‘SHAWs’.
Or to spell it differently, SHORs.
(Like the Alter Rebbe of Chabad’s mother, Rivka SHOR – according to the 6th Rebbe’s original memoirs. Now, they’ve gone back and changed her name. Of course. Can’t have the sheeple catchicng on to this stuff too easily…)
In that family tree of ABRAHAM FIGUEROA PARDO MEISELS (1741-1838), if you go up a level, you get to a bunch of Spanish-Portueguese marranos, who continued to straddle the xtian-Jewish divide after they officially ‘returned’ to Judaism. And were VERY keen on finding some sort of ‘one world religion’, neither xtianity or Judaism, that would let them have their spiritual cake, and also eat it.
But his mother was DEBORAH MEISELS, the sister of R CHAIM MEISELS of BRODY – another Sabbatean hotbed.
And their parents place us EXACTLY in the same family tree of ‘R YEHUDA LEIB CHASSID MEISELS’, the Sabbatean preacher who led the ‘aliyah’ to Eretz Yisrael, and ‘FRANCIS LOTHARI PHILLIPI’, aka ISRAEL ISSUR BONEMS MEISELS, the Chief Rabbi of Lublin.
Fancy that!
==
This is also the CHATAM SOFER’s family tree, BTW.
Anyone who had any relationship at all with ‘Eretz Yisrael’, at the leadership level, can usually be traced back directly to the Sabbatean family tree.
==
So, now – how are we to understand this statement from R TZVI YOSEF DUSCHINSKY (CHASSID…MEISELS…)?
Think for yourself, see what you come up with.
