    The chillul shabbos of these dreche rabbonim doesn’t really bother me. Its the company they keep and the message they convey to the world that cannot distinguish these slime from real yidden. Hopefully, somthing really bad might happen on their flight home.

    No wonder there was a joke going around when Bin Laden died that the neturei karta are sitting shiva. Crazy insane people!! I guess chilul shabbos was pushed aside for the “importance” of the meeting.

    this is the same people who break shabbos to protest shabbos. they are totally disconnected from their source. this is not what naturei karta is supposed to be. how these people wake up, put these costumes on and imagine this is the path of the Baal Shem i have no idea.

    Chilul shabbas?
    What exactly did they do on shabbos that’s not torah abiding?

    And since when do you all have a problem with chilul shabbas & chilul hashem? Where are you when the so called ‘jewish state’ is digging up the grave sites of our sages? Where are you when they’re supporting chilul shabbas?

    You have a problem with their politics, like I do, its disgusting what they do, giving support to the hitler of our time but don’t attack them with nonsense like what did they eat, like they can’t bring along food, I know them personally and let me make it clear to you, they’re the most extreme radical ultra orthodox hasidim there is, they’re not even eating food with hasidic hechshyrim.

    I would like to ask one thing of all these people bashing the NK!!

    Should you have been around:

    At the time that Yakov our forefather bowed to Esov, who was out to kill him, and consequently saved his life to save all of Klal Yisrael

    Or when rabbi Yochanan played dead to smuggle out to the Romans and thus by saved Reb Gamliel and the city of Yavneh and its torah scholars, and thus by saved the torah and all of Am Yisrael,

    Or when Reb Michoel Ber Weissmandel gave money and pleaded to the biggest ratsach Eichmann and thus by saved thousands of Jews,

    Would your condemnation be:

    1) the same
    2) more
    3) less

    People “START THINKING”

    Did they at least bring a minyon, a sefer Torah and a mikvah in addition to food when making arrangements to attend this important conference? Isn’t there a problem in posing for photos on Shabbos Kodesh?

    (Reply to #16 ): A few years ago I heard that Neturei Karta would be staging a protest in my community. Out of curiosity, I decided to go see what type of a person would join this strange and unpopular group. There were a few men with beards, and they were standing in a line. Some were holding tambourines, most were chanting in low, inaudible voices. I particularly noticed how pale and undernourished most of them looked. One man appeared almost skeletal. The most alarming thing, however, was their eyes. All the men seemed to have eyes that were glazed over. Out of focus. The eyes of men who are deranged in some way. As a psych major who had done community work with mentally challenged individuals, one thing was very clear to me: these men appeared to be mentally unstable and were displaying bizarre, unbalanced behavior. I truly felt sorry for them, and was filled with sympathy, rather than any animosity or revulsion for these pathetic, misguided souls.

    Why do you people get so worked up? They don’t represent anyone, they don’t hurt anyone, let them do what they wish and go on with your life. The outsider understands that just like in every society there are all types of fringe groups, so do we, only by us where everybody thinks he is the only one who is the REAL jew there can be such vile crappy comments.

    The question is: how much are these rodphim getting paid from Iran? As far as dinnim are concerned, they are chayav misa. They fit the halacha of a rodeph.

    I know Rabbi Weiss personally . A wonderful intelligent individual. Give him a chance and He’ll explain to you everything paitently.

    If we all would understand Rabbi weiss and be machnia ourselves to the yoke
    of golus we would have less tzoros from the arabs.

    That doesn’t mean that muslim extremists are not murderers and that they don’t deserve punishment , it only means that we could use his techniques to prevent future tragedy.

    As a gentile who uses this web site on a regular basis I dare say you people need to do something other then comment on a web site you shouldn’t allow these people into your homes or biz. If you have a supermarket they shouldn’t be allowed in it from the mere fact that they still function means that they get a lot of inner support (examples they wear the shtriemel who sold it to them ? Why did he allow him into his store ? They must have a support group who do they marry if they would be tottaly shunned they wouldn’t be able to survive in your community it leads me to say that most jews don’t really care or that most jews like it who gives these ppl money?? If you don’t care about israel and jews then why should we ? It was always jews that buried the jewish ppl and here is your sign

    You disgrace the holy Brisker Rav’s name. You must ask him for forgiveness. There are almost 6 million Jews living in Israel. Would these lunitics and all those who support them want to see them anihilated Chas Veshalom? Most religious Jews are anti zionist, however for better or worse we must support the state of Israel because the lives all of almost 6 million Jews depends on the stregnth and security of the state of Israel. Anyone who cannot accept this fact is a fool.

    (Reply to #64 ): Don’t ever try to reason with “open minded” types like #50 . They don’t get it. They’ll never get it. They live in a world where they have sacrificed all ability to think for themselves. It’s a world where they make and live by their own rules, to the detriment of fellow Jews. They refuse to consider the possibility that maybe, just maybe, there might be a different, more humane, more halachic and logical approach to different types of situations. Too threatening for them to even consider. So don’t try to reason with them.

These are sworn enemies, not of Israel only, but of the Jewish people – and you kiss them and show them you love them? What exactly for? for what they say, or what they do? Weiss and his band of idiots should be castrated and hanged in the city where he lives.
