Rabbi Cheshen applied for refugee status in the United States. He explained that he was treated very badly during the Zionist regime. Because he did not join and fight in the Israeli army, which was against the Jewish religion, he was arrested several times, brutally beaten, and once even had his teeth etc. broken.
Cheshen says, "I can no longer keep this evil passport in my home, which symbolizes rebellion against Almighty, throws away the Torah, turns the Jewish religion into nationalism, and also massacres and oppresses the innocent Palestinian nation."
