Falun Gong practitioners condemn the persecution by the CCP in front of the Chinese Embassy in Israel
Practitioners displayed banners and posters in the official language of Israel, Chinese and English in the open space opposite the Chinese Embassy, calling for an end to the nearly decade-long persecution of Falun Gong practitioners by the CCP. Many passersby stopped at the rally venue to learn the facts, and signed the petition that calls for an end to the persecution. They also called upon the staff in the embassy to quit the evil CCP organizations for the sake of their own future.
Gilad, who has been practicing Falun Gong for six years, said that China has five thousand years of rich culture, and has made outstanding contributions to the development of the world's civilization. But within a short period of 60 years since the CCP seized power, that cultural heritage has been nearly destroyed by the CCP. In its place China has experienced destruction, killing, lies, oppression and terror, and the unnatural deaths of eighty million Chinese people under the CCP's rule. In July 1999, the CCP launched a brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, who believe in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. The violence and lies employed during the persecution have been destroying Chinese people's traditional values on a large scale. However, Falun Gong's spirit is still shining brightly upon the whole world even in the face of ten years of persecution.
Falun Gong practitioner Tamuz pointed out that the CCP's persecution is not only limited to China. He gave an example, saying that two practitioners who are studying at Tel Aviv University planned a "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance Art Exhibit" on campus, but the art exhibit was canceled at the very beginning at the behest of the Chinese Embassy. Tamuz pointed out that the CCP has tried all means to persecute Falun Gong, but the results have often been counter-productive: it actually helped people learn about Falun Gong. The art exhibit on campus was canceled, but many such exhibits were held in other places in Israel, and thousands of Israeli people have learned of the persecution of Falun Gong by the CCP.
Chinese practitioner Ms. Xin said that she has been practicing Falun Gong for twelve years. Before being introduced to Falun Gong, she suffered a serious illness, and had taken a lot of medication. When she obtained the book Zhuan Falun, she read it through in one night and understood many things. Since beginning to practice, her illnesses and pain have disappeared, and her life has also become enjoyable and meaningful.
