Jerusalem - Drama erupted this week in Jerusalem at the wedding of Yisroel Meir Hirsch, a leading spokesman for Neturei Karta and son of recently deceased Neturei Karta leader Moshe Hirsch, who served as Minister of Jewish Affairs for Yassir Arafat’s Palestinian Authority. A group of young men, hoping to stir up excitement unfurled a Palestinian flag and began waving it during the dancing.
Rabbi Yossel Krauser, an elderly Geula resident, hurried to the midst of the circle and snatched the flag away from the group of bochurim.
“I saw a Palestinian flag waving and I decided to put an end to it”, Rabbi Krauser told Israeli news agency Kikar HaShabbat.
The bochurim, however, were determined to make their statement, seizing the flag from Rabbi Krauser and waving it once again.
Rabbi Krauser explained his bold actions to Kikar HaShabbat.
“I was angry to see them waving the Palestinian flag, especially on the most important day of the groom’s life. I had to do something. Ninety percent of the wedding guests, many of whom belong to Neturei Karta, supported my actions.”
The morning after the wedding, Rabbi Krauser’s tallis was stolen from his hands as he walked down the streets of Geula, presumably in retaliation for his actions the previous night.
Watch below the video.

What a bunch of rashoim! I was taught to respect the elderly. To put hands and tear his clothing and take his yarmulke! They should burn! I hope they meet their arab lovers on a suicide mission and they are on the receiving end. Al elah Ani Bochiah.

Shocking! To treat any elderly man that way no matter what the reason is 100% wrong! The entire group must askk for mechila before Yom Kippur.

Michutzafim! This just shows how bankrupt the entire groups position is. Putting aside the sickness of unfurling the flag of Rotzchim and Sonai Yisrael, but for these Reshaim kids to attack an elderly man, and I’m sure one that shares their distorted position (for the most part), while singing “Asrai Mei Sh’amulo BaTorah”, is just plain bankrupt beyond words. “The chickens have come home to roost”!

This is disgusting. It is truly a shanda! The chutzpah of these so-called bochurim is breathtaking. To manhandle this elderly rav...where is the respect? This is midos? I am far from a Zionist only Jew. But to wave the Palestinian flag, do they know what it represents? Okay, so they are not pro-state of Israel...but to wave their flag, the people WHO WANT TO KILL THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES...it's beyond stupid. Where is their hakoros hatov for the people who are paying for the food they eat as they never lift a finger for any Jew who doesn't believe in their far out there extreme views. If this is Torah, if this is midos, THEN I DON'T WANT IT. Not for me, not for my kids. But it's not Torah. These animals are one of the biggest reasons we Orthodox have to fight for relevancy with the secular Jewish world. I am embarrassed to be in any way associated with these empty-headed, no-respect, boheimas...They need to be renounced, and re-educated. It's disgusting, I'm furious, and this idiocy has to stop.

if they are so against the state why havent they done what the satamar rebba did leave the answer is life is great and the funds they recieve fron iran and suadia arabia is great but your question #1 is stupid would you agree if it was a nazi flag because the moslem attitude is the same remember mr arafats uncle was the grand mufti hitlers honored guest in berlin yes arafat was his nephew and changed hisv name for business reasons

bottom line . if u are at a wedding and u dont like whatbyou see or hear then simply leave . if you decide to act foolish and steal , even if u believe u are right then dont expect anyone to just sit by and not retaliate. both sides are wrong. learn to tolerate others . if you can then just walk away

This is what can be expected when you don't teach Derech Eritz. These young children have been taught that such behavior in the cause of their anti-zionist outlook is acceptable, and the result is plain. Korach...

I hope each one of their parents get a copy of this video to see what animals they have raised! And to see what their anti-zionist attitude has brought them to, attacking an elderly Jew in order to waive a Palestinian flag. What do these stupid punks think, that the Palestinians won't kill them? Do they think they that they are immune or they are not looked upon as enemy Jews? When Hashem handed out brains, they were truly standing on the wrong line.

To call these "Eirev Rav" Frum is insane. Let them go live in Ramallah. They are accessories to the terrorist murderers anyway. Yet, they have no problem benefitting from the government.
Where was the help for the one bright spot among them? One little peon even grabbed the Yarmulkah off the elderly Jews head as they fought with him. Hashem will give them what they deserve. What chutzpah!

let me tell you that if you would know this guy you wouldn`t talk the way you do
This man is just a letz, he believes just like them, he was just trying to instigate them as you can see how everyone is laughing together with him-he was just trying to put up a scene
