Pearl the "Dangerous" Bubbie from Williamsburg! Claims that " Holocaust victims were responsible for their own deaths"

 


It has now been thirteen days since Frieda Vizel posted her interview with “Dangerous Pearl.”

 I debated whether to ignore it or address it on my forum. But when a very close relative of Pearl reached out to me and took the trouble to email me privately — writing, 
“L’maan Hashem, someone must respond to her ridiculous assertions about the Holocaust, the family is mortified”

and when I saw that the interview had already accumulated over 107,000 views in just thirteen days, I realized I could not remain silent.

I call her “dangerous” not as an insult, but because of Frieda Vizel’s very own warnings!

In another video titled “Everyone Is Talking About Jews,” Frieda openly acknowledges:

  • At 4:39 — her work (Frieda's) is “reaching antisemites,” so she must be “mindful of her content because of the climate.”

  • At 4:19 — she must publish “with discretion, with care.”

  • At 10:35 — she must think twice before speaking because “the antisemites are going to take this out of context.”

Given all that, the obvious question is: Why did she publish this interview with Pearl — knowing full well that antisemites will seize on every word?

Frieda explains that she admires Pearl’s “courage,” saying Pearl knows her views are harshly judged and will make her unpopular, yet she shares them anyway. Frieda adds that what she and Pearl share is “deep convictions even when the world doesn’t agree,” which she finds admirable.

Let’s examine that.

Frieda Vizel grew up in Kiryas Yoel, married, had a child, and later left the community. Today she gives tours in Williamsburg and conducts interviews. Her English has improved significantly — her first language is Yiddish — but I often hear her use sophisticated English words that simply do not fit the context. And I genuinely believe she does not understand what the word “conviction” actually means.

Frieda seems to think that “conviction” automatically implies something noble or admirable. But convictions can be good — or catastrophically evil.

Eichmann had convictions. Hamas has convictions. Convictions, when rooted in delusion or hatred, are not admirable — they are dangerous.


So when Frieda praises Pearl’s “courage” for claiming that Holocaust victims were responsible for the Holocaust, that is not courage. That is not conviction. That is sheer, breathtaking ignorance — and it is dangerous.

Let's go through this disturbing interview!

At 3:48
Frieda : "You said that the Holocaust is a punishment"
Pearl: "yes it is"
Frieda: Isn't that victim blaming?
Pearl: "Maybe the victim did something"

At this point, Frieda should have stopped the interview, full stop! 

Here you have a supposedly frum lady stating unequivocally that the 6 million Jews that were gassed to death  "did something" 
This by the way is Christian theology, the Christians say that Jews are being persecuted because they "did something" 

But Frieda does not walk out and continues the interview, and it now goes from bad to worse!
To her credit, Frieda puts Pearl's feet to the fire and asks:

Frieda: Who were the actors in the holocaust?
Pearl: "the Eibishter does not want us to rebel, for hundreds of years leading up to the Holocaust, the Maskilim, the assimilation, and actual conversion to Christianity, that was us not listening to Him, we are a people that have a mission, and we know what our mission is, and we can't rebel, and if we rebel, it says in the Torah exactly what will happen, we have only ourselves to blame, 

Frieda's question that "dangerous" Pearl addresses, is an old age debate that goes back 3,500 years, and the question really is:

Why do bad things happen to good people?

This question bothered Moshe Rabbeinu as well! 
In Parsha Ki Sisa (33:18) right after the Eigal debacle, Moshe has a conversation with the RBS"O and asks Him: הראני נא את-כבדך? "Show me your glory" 
The early commentaries struggle to understand what Moshe was really asking? Did he think that he would able to glance at Hashem and survive?

The Rabbeinu Bachye explains that Moshe was asking,
הודיעני נא את דרכיך, כלומר את מדותיך
"show me your ways," meaning show me why you do things
 as the gemarrah in Berachos (7:1) states:
דהיינו מנהג מדת משפטיו, כגון מפני מה צדיק וטוב לו, רשע ורע לו, צדיק ורע לו, רשע וטוב לו

We find that Yermiyahu asked this very question:(Yirmiyahu 12:1)
מדוע דרך רשעים צלחה שלו כל בגדי בגד
"Why does the way of the wicked prosper, and why are all the betrayers tranquil?

 The question remains unanswerable because we cannot always fathom Hashem's complicated plan in this world. The Medrish Tanchuma addresses situations like this and states:
"גזירה היא מלפני אין לך רשות להרהר אחריה
"It is a decree from before Me, you do not have the right to question it"

We trust that all He does is perfectly just, though possibly incomprehensible!
And this was when we had prophets, that pointed out "cause and effect!" 

Unfortunately, our knowledge of how the RBS"O runs the world is minimal, especially when compared to the prophets, chazal, or even the rishonim. Therefore we are incompetent to make definitive pronouncements regarding issues that are beyond our understanding  and we are not qualified to pontificate about them! 

Today, no one knows and whoever gives a reason for the Holocaust is a liar and is smearing the reputation of the 6 million kedoishim! 

Pearl never ever learned Tanach as this is theologically abhorrent to Satmar! 
In fact Satmar refuses to teach even the boys Tanach! Because as we will soon see, the Tanach goes against the entire premise of the Vayoel Moshe! 

I do need to point out here that there were many Sefarim written refuting every thought written in Vayoel Moshe! To give you an example of some, עלה נעלה, and כי עת לחננה and Harav Menachem Kasher z"l wrote a Sefer immediately after the 6 day war, that totally eviscerated the book "Al Hagilah" 

Today we no longer have prophets so now we certainly don't know why certain episodes in Jewish history happen...but you know who knows?
Pearl!!! 
Pearl who isn't the sharpest blade in the drawer, she has the answer! 
So let's take a look at her answer!

4:39 (Pearl) 
 speaking of Zionism, even if the Land would be a free land would no one living there, a completely unpopulated area, we cannot take that for ourselves before Moshiach comes, we cannot take Israel for ourselves and make and make it our land, it's called a rebellion against Hashem, 

Now that is complete nonsense! Not that Pearl is deliberately lying. Perl being a Satmar female, was never taught Torah, and as just mentioned was never taught Nach! So where did she get this information? 

In the interview she addresses that, and says that in the Satmar girl schools they teach them the thoughts of Rav Yoel Teitelbaum, the founder of Satmar Chassidus, teachings gleaned from his book Vayoel Moshe! The books that they learn from are Yiddish! 

 One of those book specifically designed for girls is a book called: אוסצוגן פון ספר ויאל משה, I have that book in my own home and it reads like Der Shturmer!

It is with books exactly like this that Satmar teachers embed into their students, hate against the State of Israel, hate against Zionist Jews; know that there are no other Charedie Girl schools in the entire Jewish community that teach this hate against the Land that Hashem gifted us or to hate other Jews; Pearl is a direct product of this brainwashing! 

Let's address what Pearl just said:

" Speaking of Zionism, even if the Land would be a free land would no one living there, a completely unpopulated area, we cannot take that for ourselves before Moshiach comes, we cannot take Israel for ourselves and make and make it our land, it's called a rebellion against Hashem"

Now that is of course not accurate, as the Ramban states clearly on the pasuk in the Torah  (מסעי   לג, נג)

והורשתם את הארץ וישבתם בה כי לכם נתתי את הארץ לרשת אותה והתנחלתם את הארץ

"Clear out the land and live in it, since it is to you that I am giving the land to occupy "

 That this is a Mitzvas Esseh which applies today בזמן הזה and he counts "Mitzva Yeshivas Eretz Yisrael" as one of the 613 mitzvois! 

The Or HaChaim Hakodosh (אור החחים דברים כו) states that that living in Eretz Yisrael is a "Mitzvas Esseh De'Orisah Bezman Hazeh" , a Biblical Mitzva that applies in the here and now! And these are only two examples from amongst others!

Let's take a look of what our Neveim and Chazal say about how the end of days are going to look like, and by learning and reading these prophecies, one can clearly see that Pearl's assertion that one cannot live in Israel before Moshiach comes, is patently false, and borderline kefirah!

Rav Abba in Mesactas Sanhedrin (98:A) states: "There is no clearer sign of the end of days than the pasuk in Yechezkel (36:8) 

וְאַתֶּ֞ם הָרֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ עַנְפְּכֶ֣ם תִּתֵּ֔נוּ וּפֶרְיְכֶ֥ם תִּשְׂא֖וּ לְעַמִּ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל כִּ֥י קֵרְב֖וּ לָבֽוֹא׃

"But you, O mountains of Israel, will give forth your branches and yield your fruit to My people Israel, for they are soon to come"

See Rashi: "When Eretz Yisrael gives forth its fruit in abundance the end will be near, and there is no clearer sign of the end of days"

Israel has been rated in the last few weeks as one of the best economies in the world!

See Amos (9:13) telling us the signs of end of days:

"Behold days are coming, says Hashem, when the plowman will meet the reaper, and the trader of grapes will meet the one who carries the seed, the mountains will drip juice and all the hills will melt. I will return the captivity of My people Israel, and they will rebuild desolate cities and settle them, they will plant vineyards  and drink their wine; they will cultivate gardens and eat their fruits. I will plant them upon their land and they will never again be uprooted from their land that I have given them said Hashem, your God"

One can visit the State of Israel and witness for themselves that all this has already happened! 

 "Thus speaks the LORD of Hosts: Once more shall elders, well into their years, sit in the open streets of Yerushalyim, each leaning on a staff, their days long and full upon the earth, And the streets of the city shall overflow with boys and girls at play, laughter running like sunlight through the streets of Yerushalyim"

These three prophecies just quoted have already been fulfilled in the State of Israel, and these prophecies do not reconcile with Satmar Shit'ah in any way!

 In a Satmar book called ironically "Shimi Dvar Hashem" a book that has transcripts of the rebbes Shalosh Seudois Torelech, the rebbe "predicted in 1956 and again in 1967 that "in 20 years hence there would no longer be Moisdois Ha'Toireh in the State of Israel! 

Presently in 2026, The State of Israel has more Moisdois Ha'Torah than anywhere in the world! 

Pearl parroting what some ignoramus taught her, says  "it's called a rebellion against Hashem"

How could this be a "rebellion against Hashem"  when even a blind man can see that these prophecies have come to fruition in our own lifetime? 

Why would Hashem fulfill prophecies that according to Pearl couldn't possible happen until Moshiach comes!

Her ignorant statement that making Aliya is a "rebellion against Hashem"  goes against the  Gra, the Baal Shem Tov, Chafetz Chayim that tried so hard to make Aliya! 

And goes against Gedoilei Yisrael like the Ramban, Orach Hachayim Hakodosh, The Shlah, The Chidah, the Ari Hakodosh, the Steipler, Chazon Ish, Rav Sonnefeld, the Gerer Rebbe, Belzer Rebbe, Kloizinberger Rebbe, Brisker Rav, Rav Shteiman, Rab Eliyashiv, Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach and thousands of others that actually did make Aliya! 

According to Pearl's twisted logic, all the above Rishonim and Achronim "rebelled against Hashem"

Rav Yonasan Eibeschutz writes that 

"the Jewish people are destined to return to Eretz Yisrael before mashiach comes, when they will undergo great difficulties here, yet in spite of their troubles, they won't abandon Eretz Yisrael." 

 Pearl acting like a "tzeidikis' arrogantly says that  she is only saying "what G-d says!"

 Parshas Balak, teaches us that just because someone keeps talking about G-d, doesn't make them into a "tzediekas ", you can still be a big "re'shanteh". 

Bilam kept saying  "I am only saying what Hashem wants"   "I am only going to do what Hashem wants" "this is what Hashem wants" and he turned out to be the biggest Rasha! 

And what is remarkable every word that Rasha Bilam uttered was in fact true, whereas the words of "dangerous Pearl" are in fact false!

As far as Pearl's remark that we cannot take that (Eretz Yisrael) for ourselves before Moshiach comes, the Radak (Tehillim 146:3) says that 

"Salvation is solely in the hands of Hashem, and He brings it about through mortals, as He did with Cyrus during the Babylonian exile. In the future, as well, Hashem will bring Israel's redemption through gentile king"

Which is the UN!  In fact the only reason that RBS"O created the United Nations was so that they would in fact recognize the State of Israel! 

6:17 
Pearl: Israel is led by secular people who have no Torah, there is no Hashem by them, and they are bringing trouble on all the Yiddishe people in the world,

 

This statement shows that Perl never ever opened a Tanach! Because if she did, she would have seen that very few Jewish governments in Israel since Shlomo Hamelech were led by frum Jews, in fact many were a bunch of murderers and Oivdei Avoda Zara, is that why they don't teach the Pearls of Satmar, Tanach. So they remain ignorant of Jewish History?

In fact if she had peeked into Ezra when her stupid ignorant teacher wasn't looking, she would have seen, that Ezra made Aliya from Bavel with Jews that were openly mechaleil Shabbos and were assimilated, and those were in fact the Jews that built the Second Bais Hamikdash! The frummies like the Pearls remained in Baval and Ezra in fact cursed them!

As far as the secular people living in Israel, the grandfather of the Chida, the Kabbalist  R' Avraham Azulai writes in his sefer Chesed Le'Avraham: 
"Anyone who lives in Eretz Yisrael is considered a tzaddik, even though it does not seem that way"(Chesed Le'Avraham, Ma;ayan 3, Nahar 12)


6:33
Perl:After the Holocaust there was no antisemitism, when I was growing up there was no antisemitism, the world learned after the Holocaust that antisemitism is terrible, all of a sudden wherever you go 

This has to be the stupidest comment in this interview!

 I am probably around Perl's age and grew up in Brownsville, Crown Heights, Boro Park and can tell you that I don't remember a single day that I didn't experience antisemitism!

 In fact they openly murdered Jews in those days! In Brownsville, I clearly remember as a small child that a Chassidishe Jew that owned a Shoe Store was murdered in cold blood, not one penny was taken and the murderer was never found! In Crown Heights, the community started a patrol in the 60's because Jews were being beaten and murdered in the streets, in fact many Jews moved out, because they couldn't deal with it any longer. In Boro-Park, we had bloody fights with Italians every day, in fact my Rosh Yeshiva was attacked by Italians in broad daylight on 46th street and 18th Avenue, and was in a coma for days! Those days were so bad that the JDL was formed to protect Jews! 

She is a bald-faced liar! 

Antisemitism has nothing to do with Israel it is because of עשיו שונא ליעקב.

Now that news travels in seconds on social media, the antisemites like roaches are crawling out of their rocks, contrary to Pearl's stupid lying statement, nothing has changed! 


6:51
Frieda: How is what you said different than, from  an abusive husband that abuses his wife?  you are basically saying, well she brought it on herself, if she wouldn't have upset him, so why is this different here when you are blaming the victims (in the Holocaust) of an action of perpetrators, no?
Perl: if she is doing something that she shouldn't be doing, she is not the victim.

Before I said that the interview went from "bad to worse" well now it goes from worse to being entirely stupid!

Perl before stated that the "victims of the Holocaust must have done something to deserve this," so Frieda tries to give her an out, a situation where a husband abused his wife, would she blame the wife?

 Lo and Behold, she answers that in that scenario the wife is probably not a victim because she must have done something! ...........Crazy? ......or What?

After Frieda to her credit compares this situation to the victims of the Holocaust  Pearl plays dumb and says she doesn't "understand the question" 

Before I said that the interview went from " worse to stupid" well now it goes from "stupid to sheer insanity!"

On the 10:02 mark:

Pearl explains why tzadikim and 1 1/2 million innocent children were murdered in the Holocaust ... Hold on to your pants! 

Pearl: Imagine if only the religious people would have been saved, imagine if only those who were assimilated who converted who rebelled, they would be the only ones that would have been the victims, where would be our free choice? There would be no more free choice in the world! 

Her answer why G-d allowed millions of Tzaddikim and allowed 1.5 million innocent children to be brutely murdered was so there be "Freedom of Choice"

I want to bring three recent stories from Pearl's own neighborhood and wonder what Pearl would say about that:

On May 1st 2026, just 3 months ago, 9-year-old boy Yoel Jacobowitz was fatally struck by a Yeshiva Bus, this happened near Pearl's home on the intersection of Lee Ave and Lorimer St while walking to school. 

Two years before that, Yitty Wertzberger a 10 year old was struck and killed on April 16, 2024 at the intersection of Wallabout St and Wythe Ave !

My question is this, 

Does Pearl believe that Yoilie Jacobowitz and Yitty Wertzberger were killed so that Pearl can have free choice? Or maybe they were killed because Jews live in Israel before Moshiach?

Would Yolie's and Yitty's  parents be comforted by Pearl's words that Yoilie and Yitty who I'm sure never sinned in their entire short life, got killed so that Pearl would have free choice or were they killed because of the Zionists? 

This is only two cases that I'm sure Pearl remembers very well, and are close to home, these were very recent! And they were accidental! 

There was also a deliberate murder that I remember,  when they murdered a guy named Stark, was he murdered so Pearl can have "free choice?' or was he murdered because there are Jews living in Israel before Moshiach? Why doesn't she tell that to Stark's widow and orphans?

 But in this interview Frieda is talking about millions of Jews that were systematically deliberately murdered that according to Pearl had to die so Pearl and her family could enjoy free choice!! Insane!

She is blaming Zionists for the Holocaust! How sick? 

How does she explain that those very Zionists that lived in Israel during WW2 that Pearl says were not allowed to live in Israel before Moshiach comes, all survived the Holocaust! Not one Jew living in Israel was murdered in the Holocaust!

 Ironically, It was the Rabbanim that were against the Zionists that were murdered ! 

It is interesting to note, that Rav Yaakov Me'Emdin, the Yaavetz, in his siddur,in his Sulam, states that all tragedies that befell the Jewish people since the churban of the Bais Sheni was because Jews didn't make the attempt to return to Eretz Yisrael and were comfortable in their lands. The Kuzari also says that. 

She states in this interview that all Rabbanim and all Religious Jews were against Zionism pre-WW2 even the Lubavitcher Rebbe!

That statement is patently false as this would be news to Harav Zvi Kalisher, Harav Yehuda Gutmacher, talmidim of Rebbe Akiva Eiger that started "Choivevi Tzion" an organization that promoted Alyah in the 1800's.! This would be news to Rav Yitzchok Yaakov Reinis who founded the Mizrachi Religious Zionist Movement! 

And it would be news to Rav Naftali Zvi Yehuda Berlin known as the Netziv, the Rosh Yeshiva of Volozhin, who was the earliest and most prominent Rav that supported  the Chovevi Tzion movement! There were hundreds of Religious rabbanim that supported Aliya and even worked with the Zionists!

It is true that there were rabbanim that were against the establishment of a State, but once it was established in 1948, they all came aboard post facto. The Gerer Rebbe, The Belzer Rebbe, The Kloizinberger Rebbe, Rav Henkin, and the Aguda!

It is true that Chabad is against a State, but Chabad, nevertheless,  established a city in the Zionist State of Israel in 1949 called Kfar Chabad! And the Lubavitcher Rebbe met with Israeli Leaders all the time.

Meanwhile, the Satmar Rebbe took a page out of Herzl's book, stole Herzl's initial short-lived idea to have Uganda as a home and established an Uganda in Monroe!  The difference between Chabad and Satmar is that Chabad loves every single Jew!

The State of Israel, was established in 1948, because the RBS"O wanted all Jews to come back to His Land after 2,000 years! 

We now see miracles that we have never seen before, not even when we left Mitzrayim. 

When we left Mitzrayim, every single Jew lived in Mitzrayim. Yes it was a big miracle to take גו מקרב גו ! But now even a blind person can see the קיבוץ גוליות 

 Millions of Jews came back from all over the world to their homeland in a span of 70 years, something that never occurred in the entire history of the world! Never in history did millions of people return to their ancient homeland from all over the world

And this was all predicted by the Navie Yermiyahu (23:7-8)

 "Therefore, behold, days are coming — declares the LORD —when they will no longer say: As the Lord lives, who brought the children of Israel from the land of Egypt, but rather "as the Lord lives, who brought up and who led the seed of the House of Israel from the land of the North and from all the countries where I had driven them, And they shall dwell upon their own land."

And not only that, for the very first time in history, an ancient language, Hebrew, has been revived and millions of Jews speak it, in fact the majority don't speak another language, and this language that millions of Jews now speak is called by the Satmar Rebbe "tumeh" .. insane! 

At 11:24 she says this is not her philosophy but Torah! We just showed that this is actually NOT torah but one man's opinion, called, and branded as the Satmar Shit'ah which is now according to Pearl, Torah! Unbelievable! 

The Navie Ye'shia (20:5) actually had Pearl in mind when he said:

"הוי האומרים לרע טוב, ולטוב רע, שמים חשך לאור, ואור לחושך, שמים מר למתוקת ומתוק למר"

"Woe! To those who say to bad things its good, and to good things they say it's bad, they confuse darkness with light, and light with darkness, they confuse something that is bitter and say its sweet, and to something sweet they say its bitter"

Talking about "light and darkness" only one out of 5 Jews left Mitzrayim, that is because they refused to make Aliya, but Dasan and Aveeram, the antagonists of Moshe , because they loved Eretz Yisrael, did not die in the plague of darkness and left Mitzrayim with all the Jews,  because unlike Pearl, they wanted to make Aliya!

At 11:56  Pearl says smugly that "we now see that the Rebbe was right!" When I heard that, I burst out laughing! In light of the prophecies that I pointed out that came true how can any sane person say that the "Satmar Rebbe was right?" She  is delusional!

At 12;54, she says that the State is against the Torah because it goes against the Sholosh Shevuois she adds that the "Rambam repeats this"

Now we discussed this many times and you can read the side bar for detailed discussions:

 Suffice it to say that these Sholosh Shevuois are not at all mentioned in the entire Rambam's Mishna Torah, it is not mentioned in the entire Shulchan Aruch and none of the Rishonim where this statement appears (Kesubois 111) talk about it, in fact no one knows where the sholosh Shevuois took place, no one knows who witnessed this ; it is just another allegory in the Talmud. 

Even Ezra totally ignored the Sholosh Shevuois and made Aliya! 

But even if we are to take the 3 oaths seriously, everyone holds that each individual Jew has an obligation to make Aliya, not one argues with that!

Bottom Line:

Pearl of Williamsburg belongs to an extreme sect of Judaism that believes, like the Christians, that the victims of the Holocaust are themselves to blame because of their "sins" which was primarily Zionism, though the State of Israel didn't even exist then, and they also  believe that the reason Tzaddikim and 1 1/2 million innocent children were brutely murdered by the Nazis was simply because so that she Pearl and the rest of the Satmar yentas can have "freedom of choice!" 

She, like Iran, believes that Jews should not have a State before Moshiach despite the Prophecies of Yermiyahu, Yechezkil and Amos, that there will be an ingathering of the exiles BEFORE Moshiach! She believes that all those Rishonim and Achronim and all Gedoilei Yisrael violated the 3 Oaths by making Aliya! 

Her sect believes that when it comes to having Jews killed it is none other then G-d Himself, but when it comes to saving Jews like in the 6-day war, that was done by the devil, (see Al Hagilah) and that, that saving has nothing to do with G-d when it is the  Zionists that are victorious, Satmar takes the RBS"O totally out of the equation! 

Pearl belongs to a sect that would visit the Statue of Liberty in New York, but would never visit a 2,000 year old remnant of the Bais Hamikdash, the Kotel, she would never visit Kever Ruchel or the Mearas Hamachpilah, the holiest places on earth for Jews! 

This ban on the Kotel reminds me of an incident in Nach whereas Yeravam ben Navot didn't allow Jews living the North from visiting the Har Habayis! 

Pearl who has never in her life learned a Pasuk Chumash with Rashi, and certainly never opened a Nach, lectures thousands of Rishonim and Achronim,that made Aliya  telling them them they violated a precept of the Torah! She apparently has no thoughts of her own, she just repeats "shtissim ve'havlim" that her yenteh teachers told her is Torah! In the entire interview she doesn't mention or condemn the Nazis for torturing and brutely murdering 2/3ds of the Jewish people. Not even once! 

If I were allowed to speculate why the RBS"O sent the Holocaust, I would say, that it was because the Gedoilim were against Aliya and gave bad advice to those who held on to American and Palestinian visas and told them that Hitler would never come to Hungary and Romania! 

That while Zionists were planning to return to our homeland the Gedoilim were telling their followers that Zionism and Aliya is wrong, and instead of partnering with them and try to build a State together, they rejected them! 

 Instead they play the victim card, they blamed the Zionists for everything, they said that the early Zionists wanted to be "oiker torah" they cut off peyes of the Yaldei Teman, all true, but the RBS"O gave them opportunities to either partner with them or in fact take the bull by the horn, so to speak, and take charge! 

The Gedoilim were pacifists and many were even against Jews defending themselves. Meanwhile in Europe pre-WW2, Zionist youth movements were training their members in self -defense and they were the fighters in the Warsaw uprising, which took the German bastards longer to put down then their entire conquest of Poland. They were also the partisans! 

I believe that the RBS"O gave Klall Yisrael multiple open hints that they should leave Europe, and return to Eretz Yisrael by giving us people like Theodor Herzl, who planted in his brain thoughts of establishing a movement for Jews to return home to Eretz Yisrael, but instead the Gedoilim rejected him, ridiculed and mocked him, and even curse him to this very day.

The RBS"O decided to give those thoughts of returning home davka to secular Jews because He knew that they would accept that challenge and make it happen, while religious Jews. the pacifists would do nothing, they would wait until the Eagles would swoop down to bring them to Israel! Without ever giving thought that maybe just maybe the "eagles" are airplanes! 

The RBS"O knew that religious Jews would leave the Land barren and desolate! Mark Twain describes in the 1800's what Erez Yisrael looked like, "the Land of the Jews was pathetic" 

The RBS"O orchestrated that the once powerful Ottoman power would collapse so that the British would be given the mandate, making it a lot easier for Jews to overthrow the British than it would have been to overthrow the Ottomans! 

But religious Jews refused to see all this and instead of looking at history and seeing how perfectly the RBS"O orchestrated the return of Jews to their homeland, they rejected it, and that's why Hashem had no choice but to bring the Holocaust which was the precursor of the establishment of the State of Israel! 

It could have a been a walk in the park, but they rejected it, and we paid the price!

 We see history repeating itself, because it was the very frum Jews that refused to leave Bavel and make Aliyah, and so Ezra had no choice but to rebuild Eretz Yisrael, and to re-build the Bais Hamikdash with the Zionists of that time! Open up the Sefer Ezra and read it for yourself and see if I exaggerated even one single word! And this is also exactly the story of the meraglim, where the Torah leaders, the Gedoilim of Klall Yisrael rejected the Land of Israel! And we see that happening again and again.

The Zionist State is now the home of the majority of the Jewish people, and has more Moisdois Ha'Torah than anywhere in the entire world, and is presently the largest donor to Mosidois Ha'torah. The State despite its wars is from the top ten best economies in the world, its people are from the top 5 happiest countries in the world. 

Since the Zionist State of Israel was established there are no Jewish refugees in the entire world, they have a home, as the great poet Nathan Yonathan once said "Home is the place that, if you must return to it, always has a door open to receive you," 

Home isn't Kiryas Yoel where they would shut the door if you are not one of them, they are even trying to get Viznitzer Chassidim out of there! 

In the State of Israel, every single Jew is welcome, even Pearl! 

In conclusion, Pearl's views are not only ignorant but catastrophically evil.

I usually don't agree with what DIN is saying (because he goes to far in the other direction) but this post is an exception in that I do agree with most of it. And as someone who went from having a Friday seder night in V'Yoel Moshe to becoming disillusioned with that shita, I will say that learning Sefer Melochim with Chazal and Rishonim was a major factor in my current opposition to it. I do want to point out however that the statement written here "This statement shows that Perl never ever opened a Tanach! Because if she did, she would have seen that very few Jewish governments in Israel since Shlomo Hamelech were led by frum Jews" is not really true. All the kings of the ten Shevatim with the semi exception of Yahu were not frum (though most kept some Mitzvahs) The kings of the Davidic kingdom were for the most part Tzadikim until closer to the churban. Both kingdoms were in fact destroyed because of their abandonment of Torah

Some of what she's saying is true. Yes a lot of Jews left their path; there are consequences for that. What has survived is Torah. Reform barely looks Jewish today; they make Muslims look like rabbis compared to them. Conservative is a failed MO strain which fundamentally isn't much different. The bund is dead, though some people like brad lander are trying to bring it back. The Soviet Jewish intellectuals like the ones who wrote for jpost and haaretz were the first to go when Stalin started his purges. On Oct 7 the hippies were at a concert on YT paid a price. The peaceniks from Gaza who were chummy with Hamas learned the hard way and some still don't get it.

I see that you agree that all kings from the 10 tribes were evil and Oivdei Avoda Zara except Yehu!
Well, if you learned Chazal, you would have learned that King Yahu did not eradicate the golden calves in Dan and Bethel, and did not cleanse the land of Oivdei Zara,and in fact in Mechim B (10:31)
ויהוא לא שמר ללכת בתורת ה אלקי-ישראל
בכל לבבו, לא סר מעל חטות ירבעם אשר החטחא את-ישראל
His legacy summarized in Melachim is, though he was better than his predecessors, he was still no tzaddik!
As far as Kings in Yehuda is concerned, out of 20 kings, only 8 are described as righteous and even amongst the righteous committed grave sins by turning to Ovoida Zara!
Either way my statement that most Jewish governments were NOT righteous.
And this is all before the destruction of the First Bais Hamikdash, in the Second Bais Hamikdash, only the first generation of Chashmonim were righteous; the rest were a bunch of thieves and murderers!
Your statement that:
"Both kingdoms were in fact destroyed because of their abandonment of Torah"
Is true, and we know that because we had prophets!
Today we have no prophets except for Pearl from Williamsburg, so we really don't know Hashem's way, and one says he does know, has no clue to what he is talking about and that includes Rav Avigdar Miller!

You keep repeating and regurgitating statements that some of what this yenta says is true!
We all know the history but to say that was the reason why Hashem brought the Holocaust is outright arrogance and a lie, because we don't know!
The Kloizinberger Rebbe z"l, who lost a wife and 11 children, stated many times that no one knows why there was a Holocaust, and he added that those that put a reason on this tragedy are doing a disservice to the memory of those that were murdered Al Kiddush Hashem!
And to blame the victims is outright sickness!
Let her blame her family but she has no right to blame my family including my 2 half-brothers that were murdered so that Pearl can have "bechira"

Pearl is a piece of shit, enabling and making antisemitism acceptable. This is not a surprise as she was brought up on the apikoursis of Shitmar and their fake judaism. If only Reb Yoel hadn't been saved by zionists, we wouldn't have to listen to this drek spew out her disgusting views. Satmars prove everyday that they are not a part of judaism any longer. They are no different to the followers of Shabtai Zvi......Disgusting anti Jewish degenerates who blame jews for the holocaust. They need to be put into Cherem - starting with the two rat-brothers who when they're not hating on their fellow jews, are hating on each other. What a disgusting pair. No wonder so many are going OTD with morally ambiguous, self-serving leaders like them.
