On September the 3rd 2004, in the busy city centre of Tel Aviv, Israeli Falun Gong practitioners held an anti-torture exhibition, aimed at showing the benefits of Falun Gong and the cruel persecution against Falun Gong in mainland China, as well as calling on people help to stop this persecution.
To let people know about the cruel persecution Falun Gong practitioners are suffering in mainland China, Falun Gong practitioners all over the world have held many kinds of peaceful appeal and explained the facts to many people.

The majority of the practitioners in Israel are western practitioners. Practitioners who took part as actors in the anti-torture exhibition were all western practitioners. Among them, there were solders, teachers, and architects.
Israeli practitioners have never ceased in their efforts to stop the persecution against Falun Gong in Mainland China. As early as November in 2001, thirty-five western practitioners went to Tiananmen Square to appeal peacefully but were arrested. One of them was an Israeli.

The general response of Tel Aviv citizens to this anti-torture exhibition was that they do not understand why Jiang’s regime suppresses Falun Gong. Many people were asking, ”Is there any bad side to people practising this? Why persecute them?” Falun Gong practitioners explained to them patiently, "Because Communist dictator Jiang Zemin felt insecure and jealous as Falun Gong won so many people's hearts. He started this persecution.”
A lady passerby said:” I have heard about the persecution of Falun Gong long ago, but I did not know that they were suffering so badly.” Afterwards, she signed a petition to stop the persecution voluntarily.

A lady who lived nearby said, "Though I do not know much about these people, I think being persecuted and tortured simply for exercising one's basic rights as a human being is not right at all." Later on, after she watched the exercise demonstration for a few minutes, she asked for information about learning the Falun Gong exercises.
