Who is this Satmar "SHVANTZ"

 

Satmar "Shventz" smiling with the modern Hitler 

This  "upgrissiner naar" (deranged fool) "yoilie" tells a goy, an avoud antisemite that 

"antisemitism isn't random, it's Hashem sending a message to Jews" .... How sick is this meshiginer??

Oh, of course. Every Jew knows that HaKadosh Baruch Hu runs the world. Every tyrant, every regime, every political circus—clearly all part of the divine choreography.

 But let’s not confuse bitachon with spiritual laziness. “G-d runs the world” isn’t a hall pass for moral apathy or a free subscription to the “Compromise Your Values” newsletter.

We weren’t exactly chosen to be the world’s doormats. 

Hishtadlus isn’t just a quaint word for “smile and nod while they insult you.” It means showing up with dignity, even when the world’s throwing tomatoes. When antisemitism rears its charming little head again, our job isn’t to grovel for approval from the very people who’d rather we disappear—it’s to stand tall, radiate principle, and maybe, just maybe, not invite them over for kugel in the sukkah.

Notice that the Satmar ass'kanim brought out the finest silver for this "menuval' in the sukkah! Does Satmar think that Mamdani will be impressed with this silver display? Or will he think, "hey, it's true the Jews really do have all the money?"

Let’s be clear: there’s a Grand Canyon of difference between dealing with a hostile leader because we must, and rolling out the welcome mat like he’s the honorary president of the Jewish fan club. That line matters. Because once we cross it, we’re not just flattering him—we’re teaching our kids that comfort and clout are worth more than Jewish backbone.

History’s pretty clear on this one. Klal Yisrael shines brightest when we remember who we are—not when we play dress-up as political groupies. See: Purim. Spoiler alert—Mordechai didn’t send Haman a fruit basket.

Sure, whoever wins the election will do so because Hashem said so. 

 But let’s not twist that into a theological justification for kissing up to someone who’s made antisemitism his brand. The Torah doesn’t say “Thou shalt grovel.” It says “Walk with integrity.” Big difference.

And really, this is what happens when we hand out credibility like candy to people who don't have any  qualifications, a person who never held a job.

Yes, diplomacy has its place. Engagement can be strategic.

 But flattery? Blindness? That’s not strategy—that’s surrender with a smile. 

If we want the world to respect us, maybe we should start by not selling our self-respect for a photo op.
