New York City – Tens of thousand are expected to protests Iranian president Ahmadinejad on his upcoming visit to the U.N. to spread his message of “holy hatred” against The United States, Israel, Women’s Rights, Religious and Other Minorities.

The organization defines “in proximity” as not only the New York Metropolitan area, but as a one-day round-trip bus ride, which would place Boston, Baltimore, Washington, Eastern Pennsylvania and points in between within range of attending.
The rally is sponsored by the National Coalition to Stop Iran Now, together with the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York, United Jewish Communities, UJA-Federation of New York, and the Jewish Council for Public Affairs.
In a message to OU synagogues, Rabbi Bini Maryles, Director of the OU’s Pepa and Rabbi Joseph Karasick Department of Synagogue Services, declared: “On Monday, September 22 there will be a large rally outside of the United Nations to stop Iran. We encourage you to please spread the word and to do everything in your power to attend and to encourage others to attend. The rally will send a clear message to world leaders — particularly in advance of Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s General Assembly address the next day — that we oppose Iran’s nuclear program and supporting global terrorism. We condemn Ahmadinejad’s Holocaust denial, his threats to ‘wipe the U. S. and Israel off the map,’ and his blatant abuse of human rights.”
“It is vitally important for the Jewish community to be out in force to express its opposition to Ahmadinejad’s genocidal rantings,” Rabbi Maryles said, “so that the world can see that this man must be stopped; that the world’s ineffectual response to the Iranian nuclear threat facing Israel and the West must finally be replaced by firm action; and that his annual use of the U.N. as a forum is an affront to decent and peace-loving people everywhere.”

bring noseplugs ‘cuz neturei karta will be there, too. if you experience difficulty seeing them, shift your gaze downwards to ahmedinutjob’s tzad hashaini.
No use for rallies. He will just mock these stupid rallies. C’mon Mr. Hoenline, you know better than this. He needs to be assasinated when he shows up. The Chutzpah of him to show up in our democracy and get royal treatment. Our government should welcome him with a warm bullet to the head.
He should be arrested as soon as he steps onto US soil.
As much i’d like to see this dog blown to smithereens i still think that when he comes to the UN all he’s trying desperately to obtain is, AS MUCH ATTENTION AS HE CAN GET. That’s is whole point of coming HERE.
Therefore i think the best way to deal with this barking insane creature is to TOTALLY IGNORE HIM. The more attention we’ll give him, the more we are falling into his trap.
Just my opinion
3:04 oy vay talk about a ‘warm’ welcome
no two ways about it. right on
Will u stop his hate by rallying or vice versa? STOP this right now!!!
Oy-vey, it’s FinVee…again:
My dear friend FinVee…etc., Screaming at AcMad InEjad in public is the dumbest thing you can do.
I’m sure it will make you feel great to get all that aggression off your chest, but it won’t help the Jews in Iran or elsewhere one bit.
More likely, it will make TsorEs for all Yidden in the Middle East and Europe, who suffer from Arab reprisals, while you go home on the “A” train and have a good steak for supper, with some gourmet ice cream for dessert.
what do you think will happen to the jews in iran after he comes home from seeing those protests? he’ll probably say “oh, some rich american zionist loving jews are not happy with my agenda. i think i’ll be nicer from now on”. this is why historically, true gedolim never condoned political protests.
The original reason, not to protest politically might have made sense in the times before 24 hour media coverage and internet access to information. Today howver, the opposite is true. Ahmadinejhad is facing opposition in Iran from opponents in the government who don’t want Iran to be considered a pariah nation. By protesting, we are giving his opponenst ammo to help them in their effots to remove or disempower him. Public protests today are a neccesary and beneficial action.
Will see what Baloonberg will do…..
deepthinker
Is that deep thinking? Is passivism the only outlet that you are aware of? In the US, the voice of the public is heeded and noted. Get the UN out of Manhattan and relocate to NJ.
DEAR TORAHeYES:
The orignal AchMad Inejad was named Haman.
I guess you would have organized a protest in the time of haman, instead of praying and fasting, as Mordechai did.
Think about it!
I love all these armchair warriors giving advice to lead America into another war. It makes me sick. And these guys forget what it means to have neviim, Sanhedrin and real authorities. Why in heaven’s name do they want to make the world believe that the most cruel paranoid Zionists and Israel-Firsters are the frum? Why? And ANSWER the question directly to the Jews of Iran (hint, hint….)!
Killing him would do nothing. He is a puppet of the mullahs. They need Total Regime change over there. You can personally thank Jimmy Carter for the regime thats in power. Why did he turn against our friend the Shah those many years ago?
Along those same lines, if it is true, and can be reasonably proven Ahmidenajad should be arrested for his role in the hostage taking back then. Some Americans who were there then say with some certainty that its the same creep.
It is unbelievable that the US has to spend a fortune to make sure their greatest enemy is safe here.
I wonder if the representatives of the democratic nations in the UN must stay there to listen to his hate speech??
I would think that he should not come to a free country where his mind will be tainted by images of women and freedom of speech and religion. What a hypocrite!Let him stay in his holy shmoly islamic Iran,and leave the rest of the world alone.
The people of Iran do get these news reports and it does make a big impact. It also shows analysts and politicians that people of all religions and ethnicities can come together to rally against a modern Hitler of our time. Iran is a supporter of terrorism against israel, but more importantly, they are financing the attacks against our troops in Iraq.
It is unforunate that people are willing to waste their time writing anonymous attacks on others online but won’t take the time to show their support with fellow Jews. Can you imagine if yeshiva bochurim came out to rally for the survival of Jews (because that is essentially what A. wants to do–wipe Israel off the map) instead of coming out for a rally supporting some punk politician in Williamsburg.
Deepthinker,
Then we had a mordechai hatzadik.. the gezeira and nes of purim was min hashaayim to test the jews.
(for some deep thinking, open a likutei torah to “chayav inush livsumei”)
The avodah is to act both by davening and derech hatevah.. perhaps I should shut down my business and daven all day ?
They arent protesting amijinideed as if he will listen.. they are protesting to the american public.
No, he wasent haman.. he was hitler ym’sh.. finevee will protest and o home and eat a steak.. and the jews in america by ww2 stayed home and ate steaks.
Are you so naive to think that #1 they need a reason to persecute jews ? #2 that passivness is effective?
My name is elchonon hellinger, I live amidst 250,000 arabs in chevron.. this morning when going between chevron and kiryat arba a elder sefardic jew had his car stoned, we stopped to assist him.
Maybe had he distributed cookies they wouldent have stoned him?
Who gives a shtik dreck!
the lubavitcher rebbe ztl was not pro people protesting in the times of the russian kgb agression against the jews and to open the iron curtain. i dont know the reason for this as the lubavitcher rebbe was into making loud noises on issues he believed in. does anyone have or know the reason for this? we all hate ajamndiajad as we hated stalin and the russain reshoiam. inteligant people please coment
The orignal AchMad Inejad was named Haman.
I guess you would have organized a protest in the time of haman, instead of praying and fasting, as Mordechai did.
Think about it!——————————
THOUGHT ABOUT IT, come and demonstrate while fasting and we will be davening and reciting tehillim with many minyon fulls of helige yidden.
I think the worst thing you can do to this maniac is if he gets ignored completely, all he desires is to be in the headlines, altough I’m not suggesting he should not be dealt with, but when he comes to the UN you either arrest or kill him otherwise just act as if you don’t even know that he came.
B.t.w. Mordechai Hatzadik in the eyes of Neturei Karta would be considered a “Misgare Beumos” and as one who is endangering Klal Yisroel by not kneeling before Haman…. Moshe Beck would say you must be Machnia for Haman and do what Haman says so he wouldn’t be upset with the jews…. what do you say? do I have a point??
are members of neturei preparing a feast to greet their rebbeh
Some one go to rabbi weiss and make sure he does not go and greet him there?
TORAHEYES:
yOU SEEM TO HAVE MISSED MY POINT.
DEMONSTRATIONS ARE COUNTERPRODUCTIVE. THEY HAVE THE OPPOSITE EFFECT OF WHAT WAS INTENDED.
ACCORDING TO HISTORIANS, HITLER DECIDED TO EXTERMINATE THE JEWS, INSTEAD OF MERELY DEPORTING THEM FROM EUROPE, AFTER GETTING A REPORT OF THE BIG MADISON SQUARE GARDEN RALLY AGAINST NAZI GERMANY, ORGANIZED BY THAT INFAMOUS RASHA, STEPHEN WISE.
DON’T POINT A LOADED GUN AT A KING, UNLESS YOU ARE CERTAIN THAT YOU CAN SUCCESSFULLY KILL HIM.
i missed you too deepthinker. i am not a demonstartor. not do i like demonstrations. i like hanging out on VIN and watching half my comments be censored by The Man.
eveyrybody please give my wonderful friend deepthinker a break – he means well.
Maybe Obama can meet this Jew hater-After all Biden the other anti semite told Israeli leaders to live with a nuclear Iran. The smartest thing for us Jews to do is have a raLLY OUTSIDE THE un with sighns for McCane. Lets teach the democratic liberals a good lesson. support McCane and out vote the Jew hater Obama.
How dare you all!!!!!11!!1one
