There are moments in history so searing, so unthinkably brutal, that they should shatter illusions. October 7 was one of those moments, but for some, it barely registered.
Take Satmar for example,. to them,the horror—rape, murder, hostages—was someone else’s tragedy. A distant echo. Their detachment isn’t just ideological—it’s emotional. No connection to the victims. No solidarity with the Jewish people.
Take the Kutz family.

| The Kutz Family hy"d |
They believed in peace, lived near Gaza, and loved their Arab neighbors. On October 7, all five were murdered—found embracing in their bomb shelter. Murdered by those who they trusted and thought loved them and shared their ideology. Their story should’ve been a wake-up call. Instead? Silence.
Meanwhile,a popular Lakewood WhatsApp chat delivers this gem:
"I'm no diplomat, but I believe in keeping open lines of communication with everyone."
Translation: “I’ll talk to anyone, even if they’re waving a machete, because I'm offering them herring and Yaptcha.”
The disgraceful Satmar sukkah tour, welcoming a mayoral candidate, wearing a 6-part velvet yarmulka —who not too long ago shouted “Free Palestine” and “From the river to the sea”— as one of the Ushpizin in the Sukka no less, just for some photo ops and zero accountability.
Why did Mamdani choose Satmar? Because they share an anti-Zionist worldview. It’s not outreach—it’s alignment.
And the kicker?
Satmar once accused early Zionists of collaborating with Nazis. Now they’re the ones cozying up to politicians whose values clash with Jewish survival and are sympathetic to Hamas!
This isn’t just politics. It’s about memory. Moral clarity. But these Satmar Romanian peasants refuse to learn from the Kutz Family!
Satmar doesn't acknowledge Yom Ha'atzmo'at" they won't even acknowledge Yom Hashoah, they ignore Yom Hazikoron but invite an unabashed, vile antisemite and laugh with him, mocking the memories of the Jews who were gassed, raped and murdered by terrorists that Mamdani looks up to! Shame on Satmar!
Now see a comment from a reader:
Shocking how any Jew can meet this terrorist supporting Islamo-nazi.
Shocking.
When they started teaching in their cheider to hate fellow Jews, this is the end result, associate with a modern day Hitler Y.S.
I now understand why many היימישע קרייזן will not not allow their child to marry anyone from that Kehilah until they do a full Yichus background check. The Shulchan Aruch is very clear רחמנים, ביישנים, וגומלי חסדים. If you are missing even one of the 3, the Yichus is questionable. Here you see people dressed in בגדי יום טוב, inviting a modern day Hitler into a Sukkah!!!
Shande!!!
There is also a strict prohibition in the Torah not to Pander to Evil People,
Here is the Prohibition in Hebrew and in English
איסור החנופה הוא חמור מאד, כי החנופה לרשע גורמת לחיזוק הרשע והרשעים, והחלשת הטוב והטובים, אם אפשר מצווה עלינו להוכיח את הרשע על מעשיו הרעים ולמחות בו ואם הוא לא מקבל את דברינו לשונאו ולעשות עימו מחלוקת, איננו אנשי מלחמות, איננו אוהבים להילחם, אך לעיתים אין ברירה ומצווה גדולה להילחם ולהיאבק ברשעים, ומי שלא נאבק עימם ויש לו את הכוח והעוצמה לעשות זאת הוא הופך להיות שותף למעשיהם,
אך גם שאין בכוחנו להוכיח, למחות ולהילחם, נצטוונו לכל הפחות שלא לחזק את הרשע בדברי שבח וחנופה. שהרי כל המחניף לרשע מחזקו ומעודדו להמשיך בדרכיו, ונמצא שנעשה שותף בחיזוק הרע בעולם. וזהו שנאמר (משלי יז, טו): "מַצְדִּיק רָשָׁע וּמַרְשִׁיעַ צַדִּיק – תּוֹעֲבַת ה' גַּם שְׁנֵיהֶם",
"אנשי האמת הם אלו שעומדים בגבורה כנגד הרשעה, ונזהרים שלא לחלוק על אנשים טובים.
ואלה שיראת השמיים שלהם מזויפת, מנצלים את איסור המחלוקת כדי להחניף לרשעים בעלי עמדה, אבל מוצאים כל מיני צידוקים כדי לעשות מחלוקת "לשם שמיים" כנגד אנשים טובים וישרים שחלשים מהם".
The prohibition of flattery is very severe, because flattery to the wicked strengthens the wicked and the wicked, and weakens the good and to those who do good. If possible, we are commanded to rebuke the wicked for his evil deeds and protest against him, and if he does not accept our words, one should at least hate and argue with him, we are not people of war, we do not like to fight, but sometimes there is no choice and a great mitzvah to fight and fight the wicked, and whoever does not fight with them and has the strength and power to do so, he becomes a partner in their actions.
But even though we are incapable of chastising, protesting, and fighting, we are at least commanded not to strengthen the evil with words of praise and flattery. For anyone who flatters the wicked strengthens him and encourages him to continue in his ways, then he has become a partner in strengthening evil in the world. This is what is written (Mishlei 17:15): "He justifies the wicked and condemns the righteous – the abomination of the Lord is both."
"The people of truth are those who stand bravely against wickedness, and are careful not to disagree with good people.
And those whose fear of Heaven is fake, and take advantage of the prohibition of discord to flatter the wicked , and find all kinds of justifications in order to create a dispute "for the sake of Heaven" against good and honest people who are weaker than them." The prohibition of flattery is very severe, because flattery to the wicked strengthens the wicked and the wicked.
