The Sanhedrin (Hebrew: סַנְהֶדְרִין sanhedrîn, Greek: Συνέδριον, synedrion, "sitting together," hence "assembly" or "council") was an assembly of twenty-three to seventy-one men appointed in every city in the Land of Israel.

Jewish Sages Take Pope Francis to Court

Pope Francis touches the stones of the Western Wall, Judaism's holiest prayer site, in Jerusalem's Old City

A re-established and self declared Israeli Sanhedrin, the religious High Court composed of 71 sages, has declared that it is putting Pope Francis on trial unless he retracts his statement that the Jews have no right to the land of Israel or to Jerusalem.

In February 2013, the Vatican officially recognized the “State of Palestine” but more significantly, the Vatican signed a treaty in June with “Palestine” in which the Holy See switched its diplomatic relations from the Palestinian Liberation Organization to the “State of Palestine”. This treaty is the first legal document negotiated between the Holy See and the Palestinian state and as such, constitutes an official recognition.

The trial and judgment will be on September 20th, 2015. If Pope Francis chooses to ignore the summons, he will be judged in absentia.

The Sanhedrin sent a letter to Pope Francis in reaction to the Vatican’s recent support of the Palestinian Authority’s unilateral moves to declare themselves a nation, reported the Hebrew magazine Matzav Haruach on June 24.

The letter stated:

“Because the Vatican recognized the organization known as the Palestinian Authority as a nation, and has begun to refer to it as a nation in its documents. His honor has named the head of said authority as an ‘Angel of Peace’, as was explained by a spokesman for the Vatican, that his intention was to encourage Abu Mazen to advance towards peace. These actions, to our great dismay, are consistent with a long series of actions and stances that are as in the days of the Roman Catholic Religion, that swore to persecute Israel because we refused to accept their Messiah as the Messiah of Israel, and to renounce our faith. The recent announcements and actions of the Vatican are a rebuke to the Jewish Nation and to the Bible, which you use to interpret the prophecies, as if God has abandoned his original Nation of Israel. Reality has proven the opposite to be true.”

“We require from you an apology for your recognizing as a nation those who stole the land, those who are known as the Palestinian Authority, and we are informing the Vatican that the sole God given right to the land of Israel is to the Nation of Israel. If His Honor the Pope, and the Vatican, do not apologize within two weeks of receiving this letter, and if he does not change his ways, we shall judge these actions in the Court of Mount Zion, in a court of 71 Jewish elders of Zion, and enact the prophecy of ‘The liberators will rise up upon Mount Zion, to judge the Mountain of Esau and the kingdom shall be God’s’ (Obadiah 1:21). The court shall judge the Vatican in its presence or in absentia, and it is possible that the Vatican will be found guilty of anti-Semitism, as has been known to be done several times throughout history, and to place responsibility upon the Vatican for all of the outcomes of its actions.”

The Sanhedrin has no political or legal status, and clearly has no authority over the Vatican…

BIN EXCLUSIVE: Sanhedrin Calls Obama to Trial
By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz July 21,

“But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.” (Amos 5:24)

A re-established and self declared Israeli Sanhedrin is calling US President Barack Obama to trial for what it says are “criminal offenses” against the Jewish people following the passage of the Iran nuclear deal.

The modern day Jewish high court, made up of 71 Judaic scholars and rabbis, plan to bring the American president to trial on Mount Zion on September 9, 2015, four days before Rosh Hashana, the beginning of heavenly judgement days for the Jewish nation.

According to a letter obtained exclusively by Breaking Israel News that was sent to the president, the Sanhedrin calls out Obama for “deliberately promoting genocide for the Jewish people.” The judges of the Sanhedrin call on the president to “immediately announce that you are repealing and suspending the agreement.”

The Sanhedrin, which has been active in Israel for over a decade, recently made news when it announced that it would be putting Pope Francis on trial in absentia for his recognition of a “State of Palestine”.

“We are here for matters great and small, those that pertain to Israel, and those that pertain to other nations as well,” said Rabbi Dov Stein, secretary of the Sanhedrin, to Breaking Israel News. “It is part of the process of Geula (redemption) and of the Nation of Israel coming back to the Land of Israel, reestablishing the Sanhedrin and restoring the nation as it once was, ‘For out of Zion shall the Torah go out, and the world of God from Jerusalem.'”

The original Hebrew letter, with its English translation, sent to the US leader by the Sanhedrin can be read below.

To His Honor:
President of the United States
Mr. Barack Hussein Obama
Secretary of State John Kerry
The White House, Washington DC
Permanent Members of the UN Security Council

Summons to Trial:

A Demand for the Immediate Cancellation

of the Nuclear Deal with Iran

Unfortunately, despite international experience in negotiating with totalitarian countries with aggressive imperialist aspirations and abilities throughout history, and especially in the 20th century, you have failed to prevent the agreement with destructive consequences that are inevitable for Israel, the Jewish people, all people of the region, to the United States, and to the West.

On the contrary, the evidence of progress in negotiations toward a desired and expected outcome increase every day. Empowering Iran to the level where it would constitute a complete and immediate threat would thrust the entire region into a state of instability including extreme weapons of mass destruction.

These actions range from criminal offenses to malicious intent and gross negligence.

Despite your claims and the contentions of the United States Secretary of State that the agreement is for the benefit of peace, the very negotiations with a country that for at least 30 years has declared that their aim is to destroy Israel and for that it needs nuclear weapons, as well as their expressed desire to attack ‘the Great Satan, USA’ are cause for concern to suspect that there is serious impairment to the reasonable discretion of any moral / responsible leader who refuses to negotiate with a country that declares their goal is to destroy a UN member state, or genocide of any kind.

The current agreement has released many of the leaders of incitement from responsibility for their words and action, and this with the full knowledge and consent of the United States and its allies.

To do this, you should have, as president of the United States, been cautious not to initiate or begin negotiations so long as the state of Iran does not declare that it has reconsidered and has no aggressive intentions towards Israel and other peoples of the region and its countries, and Iran’s conduct reflects the new policy and provides evidence of factual intentions of its peace, if it exists.

We would like to remind you that this threat to the State of Israel in a nuclear context began as a matter of policy upon the beginning of your term in office, as was made clear by the shocking announcement made by Rahm Emanuel: “Yitzhar for Bushehr”, which was in fact a direct threat to dismantle the settlements, even those that are completely legal, or we will not help to avert your annihilation.

In July 2009, you rebuked your Vice President, Joe Biden, who said Israel has the right to attack Iran, saying “In no way does Israel have a green light to attack Iran.”

So your move raises suspicion that it is deliberately promoting genocide for the Jewish people.

We remind you of the serious consequences of your Middle East policy from Libya to Egypt, from Iraq to Afghanistan, and especially your consent which allows the Assad regime its missile attacks using poison gas for at least two years, despite your agreement to dismantle of weapons of mass destruction. In practice, this has led to a humanitarian disaster in the entire region.

Since you signed this agreement, which gave you full legitimacy to start the process with Iran, hundreds of thousands of Arabs have been killed, this situation known as ‘Arab Spring’ has developed as a result of your forsaking Egypt, thus creating chaos in the Middle East and around the world in which weapons of mass destruction or their equivalent are provided by imperialist countries that support Iran or similar elements in different ways.

Therefore, you must immediately announce that you are repealing and suspending the agreement, its non-ratification, due to Iran’s proven capabilities for endangering all countries in the region.

You and your co-signers are expected to appear before the Court of Mount Zion on charges of administering wanton and destructive policies conducive to wars and hostilities and the growth of terrorist organizations, their lack of humanity is the result of lawlessness and weakness your foreign policy.

You, as the US president, may resign immediately and be sued personally, forced to pay compensation for the damage you caused towards all the victims of all peoples of the region in relative terms.

The trial against you, as the trial against all of Israel’s enemies, if you do not repeal this diplomatic agreement, will be held on Mount Zion, the fifth of Elul, 5775, [September 9, 2015] at 12:00 pm.

You can send a representative for your defense or your own lawyer, and the court shall not appoint a representative to represent the United States and your policy and you personally. These things apply to all partners signing the agreement with Iran.

Sincerely,
Dov Stein
Secretary of the Sanhedrin
