The ultra-orthodox anti-Zionist group, Neturei Karta, on Thursday condemned “the recent Zionist terrorist massacre” in Gaza.

Neturei Karta representatives meet Hamas lawmaker Abu Tir
In a press release, the group referred to Tuesday’s heavy fighting, which resulted in the death of 19 Palestinians, a majority of them combatants.
The statement read, “Anti-Zionist Jews condemn the Zionists in no uncertain terms for their violent and bloodthirsty behavior.”
“We cannot understand why great world powers seem to give the Zionists a free hand to commit such crimes against the indigenous Palestinian people from the comfort of their F-16 fighter jets, helicopter gun ships and Merkava tanks.”
It went on to call on “great world powers” to “restore the rights of the Palestinians throughout historic Palestine.”
The statement concluded: “Zionism is doomed! The Zionist regime is doomed! The Holy Land will be restored to Palestinians! It’s not a matter of “if” but only “when!”
Neturei Karta (“Guardians of the City”) were created in 1935, with the express purpose of opposing the creation and existence of a Jewish State before the coming of the Messiah. No statistics about their numbers exist, but it is thought they do not exceed 5,000, most of whom live in the Jerusalem area. [jpost]
Maybe they’ll enlist in the Hamas army? Oh, wait….
Seriously, though, as has been mentioned, these are not the real NK, who’s cause is noble, even if many disagree. These guys are apparently crazy, which leads them to engage in anti-Semitism.
Anon. 8:11PM And what about all the killing and mass murder of innocent people that your so-called voyle “palestinians” have committed in the past century and a half?!
Dear 8:11:
Thank you for responding.
You should respond because most of Klal Yisroel (meaning frum Jewry, although the freiyeh also) is very upset at you for taking actions that at least on the surface appear to be sympathizing with those who murder, and want to murder, innocent Jews.
Let’s have a rational, intellectual conversation here.
So again:
#1. Neturei Karta stands for there not being a secular Zionist state. Fine. So do most frum Jews. Next.
#2. Neturei Karta has publicly appeared praying for the recovery of Yasser Arafat, a terrorist whose men killed thousands of innocent Jews (and others), and many other such actions that support and defend terror.
So again: How can you defend and embrace terrorists?
Answer that, and then we’ll go to the next two questions:
#1. Who are the “Palestinians”?
#2. Who or what is the true cause of their current suffering?
Thanks again, and a gut voch!

Mendy, why should I respond? You are living in a dream world of narcissism. The vicious Zionist Amalekite state has been violating the Torah arrogantly for 60 years, including its mistreatment and provocation of the Arabs. So you simply want the Palestinians to greet this with champagne and flowers? Are you crazy?

Even if you are 100% right (which you are not) do you think the solution is what the Neturai Karnuts believe??? Give it all to the Arabs and they will be nice to us? Sounds more like the Final Solution.

Please respond to my post of 2:09 yesterday.
Wait, I just figured out your point.
You are upset that with the help of the RBS”O for almost 60 years the IDF has prevented the murder of another few million Jews by a hunderd times more blood-thirsty yishma’ailim.
Too bad. Go daven to your buddy muhamed by the kever of your rebbeh reb yassar.
Hey latest anonymous. How many “Israelis” have been killed compared to Palestinians? Care to make a comparison? Who has the F16 jets? Who has the helicopter gunships? Who has the fancy Merkava tanks? Who live in a ghetto in Gaza or Nablus? Who have had their fields and farms destroyed? WHO??????
They are a fungus on the body of klal yisroel. Very annoying but not life threatening. Like athletes foot, they won’t go away if ignored but they are not important enough to make fools of ourselves by trying to scratch them in public and sometimes scratching can actually help it spread.
Discussing them in public is like taking off your shoes at the shabbos table to show your athletes foot to your guests.
We all know that the only reaseon these few idiots weren’t murdered by the terrorists (YET) is because the terrorists use these FEW individuals to show the ENTIRE world that the “JEWS” are wrong and the “TERRORISTS” are right! The world doesnt see the real difference between the real “JEW” and the Zionists.
It is VOS IS NEIAS’s fault plus ALL other MEDIA’s fault for this great “chillul Hashem”!
These few idiots are trying to get attention for many years already. Most people didnt know much about them.
Now, since these media “PAPARATZIA” and all the great attention they are geeting, they get encouraged and this fuels them to continue.
It’s not only mentally, but it works for the terrorists as well.
The embrace these people only to FOOL the WORLD.
If they will be IGNORED, the will not have who to show all these lies.
I love the way Zionists are running to the defense of the “old NK”…..Who would believe it? Here you have Zionists, with all the arms, all the media, all the money, all the rabbis, all the lobbies, and they STILL can’t take Mordechai standing by the Gate.
And on top of that they make themselves the biggest spokesmen of people who aren’t alive to speak for themselves, R. Amram Blau and the Satmar Rav.
FOR EVERY COMMENT THAT IS POSTED, THE NK’S WILL LIVE LONGER, THIS GIVES THEM CHIYUS!
THEY’RE NUTS!
IGNORE THEM!
EVERY COMMUNITY IN THE WORLD HAS SELF HATERS!!!
Hashem should help, Nekom Nikmas…
Are any of you NK lemmings willing to live in Gaza? I’m sure your murderous friends will provide you with a good home. Somewhere near another terrorist so when our brave brothers of the IDF shoot a missile, you’ll also be killed.
Rabboisai,
There are two issues that Neturei Karta stands for:
1. Opposition to a secular State of Israel
2. Defending and embracing terrorists
Most frum Jews actually agree to some extent with #1 –even Religious Zionists.
It’s #2 that’s the real issue.
To you one or two NK guys posting here, I want you to answer one question: Yes, Zionism is against the Torah–but how can you defend and embrace terrorists?
They are not the same NK founded by R’ Amrom Blau. He would never do this. These are a few idiots under Mr.Hirsh I think he is from London.
Yes, our suffering is the fault of the Zionists. The SINS OF JEWS causes us to suffer. This is Jewish Religion 101. Any Jew who does not believe this, even if he puts on tefillin every day, is an APIKORUS.
oy vey!!!!!!!!! hashem yerachem!!!!!!!!! i thought those NK freaking loonies died in gaza together with their brothers because we havent heard from them in a while Boruch Hashem they shall have their headquarters in Israel blow up in flames exactly what happened in monsey but this time let them be inside…… I truly dont know who is worse the arabs or the NK Yemach shemom vzichrom
Hey, you NK apologists
Do you know how stupid you sound???
Lets just live with the goyim in peace. Right. The goyim never had a problem with us before 1948. Lets turn over our land to Hamas and the will treat us with love.
Idiot!
Everything is the fault of the zionists. the holocaust, the pogroms of the last four huundred years, the blood libels, Tach v’Tat, chmelniki, the inquisition, in fact, it was they who caused the churban bayis and even shibud mitzrayim.
Hey, Anonymous. You talk about killing. How do you want the Palestinians to greet Zionist conquest since 1948? With champagne and ice cream? Come on, wake up! Break away from this idiotic Zionist regime and ideology. Wake up! Let’s live in peace with all nations and set an example of kedusha for the whole world and wait for Mashiach to set everything straight. The sin of Zionism are delaying the Messiah!!
I am amazed how Zionists can become such devoted followers of the Eyda, NK and the Satmar Rav. All of a sudden Zionists become their greatest defenders. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry…..
The “neturei karta” (I put them in quotes becauses they are infringing on the people that started the organization who are turning over in their graves as we speak.)
THE “Neturei Karta” HAVE TOTALY LOST IT.
If someone comes to kill your wife and children and you kill him. Did you murder or massacre him?
ARE THE “Neturei Karta” FOR REAL?
More Zionist paranoia. Plus a dose of narcissism. Do you know what narcissism means? It means the inability to look outside of oneself. How on Earth can a Jew who believes in the Torah of Hashem ignore the fact that we suffer because of our SINS, plain and simple. In this generation there is no greater sin than Zionism. Gevalt!! Wake up, Yidden! Wake up! You’re never going to have calm as long as you allow yourselves to follow the Amalek Zionist regime!
every single one of their adherents was at the news conference. 6 shmucks that’s all they have.
the pious of jerusalem, most notably the eida chareidis banned their activiteis lobg ago. and that’s who represents the jerusalemite kaftaned jewry!
it is with much pain that I read this piece. Hashem should definitely help us if the make up 10 people let alone chas vesholom 5,000. these are people that their hearts bleed for terroist murderers who would have no problem slaughtering all the Jews in Israel including their so called friends the Neturei Karta.
I wonder if they ever shed a tear when our brothers ans sisters including anti zionist yerushalmis were murdered. i’m sure they did not…These are sick people that need to be dealt with. We have a great G-D in heaven who I have no doubt will not let traitors like these Hamas lovers get away with it. their time will come. Until then it is only sad that the non-Jews that don’t understand their evil ilness may be taken in by them…YES we need Moshiach immediately and these ROTZCHIM and ROIDFIM will be punished accordingly..
I blame the medina for this. Any country that does not have the courage to execute its traitors in a time of war is a gov’t in name only.
Harshly punishing those who provide aid and comfort to the enemy is a fundamental duty of all civilized govt’s.
Article III, Section 3, Clause 1, “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, (or) in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.”
Let them go live in Gaza and see how long they last…
Cut out the Zionist paranoia. It’s enough already. You bash the Palestinians for 60 years and then expect them to spend all their time saying tehillim?
5000?? try under 100. Don’t confuse the ultra orthodox Yerushalmis with these fools. While they may not agree with the State, they would never meet with reshoim who would love to kill all yidden. This crosses the line! While I would like to personaly clobber these meshuganas I believe that all they seek is attention. To give them the attention that they seek would be a win for them and I refuse to let them win.
