In a video, Hikind compared the defense of Mamdani to Jews marching alongside Hamas supporters and expressed dismay over the position.
Hikind also invoked the history of $atmar founder Rabbi Yoel Teitelbaum, noting that he was among the Jews rescued aboard the Kastner train during the Holocaust. The rescue effort was organized by a Jewish committee that included Zionist activists, although it also involved Orthodox Jewish leaders and others.
The comments followed Rabbi Zalman Leib Teitelbaum’s remarks at a gathering marking the 47th yahrzeit of Rabbi Yoel Teitelbaum. The Williamsburg Rebbe criticized attacks on Mamdani and warned that labeling him an antisemite could amount to what he called “provocation against the nations.”
He urged religious Jews in the United States to follow Torah principles and recognize their responsibilities while living in exile.
Both major $atmar factions — the Williamsburg-based Zalunim and the Kiryas Joel-based Aronim — have developed close relationships with Mamdani, a strategy that has drawn criticism and questions from other Jewish New Yorkers.
Mamdani, a Muslim progressive and outspoken critic of Israel, has faced criticism from Jewish organizations over his positions on Israel, the Gaza war and antisemitism.
The $atmar leadership has emphasized maintaining a working relationship with city officials and protecting the interests of its religious communities, even as critics argue that engagement with Mamdani risks legitimizing positions they consider hostile to Israel.
Hearing the Satmar Rebbe defend Mamdani is like seeing fellow Jews march with Hamas supporters.

Par for the course that Kapo Lincoln Restler was invited to

He might not be on DIN’s radar screen - yet - but he’s 3rd generation. His grandmother was an infamous self-hating Kapo in Montreal
There are now really two Jewish people aren't there: the normal ones and the Satmar-aligned ones.
ReplyDeleteThese 2 brothers have always been and will always be two pieces of drek that would sell their mother for a buck. They are hateful and despicable. First, that POS Zalman Leib threw a woman out of shul on Rosh Hashana because she exposed the rapist Weberman; then Aaron comes out within 24 hours of 3 Israeli teenagers being buried, blaming the parents for being Tziyonim.
ReplyDeleteSatmar has zero respect for other jews. As a resident of Monsey, its very easy to see what they have done and keep doing here. Tearing down huge houses left and right, clearing massive acreage just to turn the whole are into one big ghetto. They drive like maniacs; On serveral occasions, Ive almost had head collisions because double yellow lines are meaningless to them. Rte 59 is a disaster; Rte 306 is a disaster. And now they want to build a huge complex on 306 and Viola, with zero consideration of the infrastructure., Just build and build and build. In short, they dont give a crap of anyone else but themselves, just like the 2 pieces of shit on top.
U r a old fashioned simple antisemit, שונא ישראל,
Delete,I can find reasons for and against meeting with the ones who hates us, as מנחם בגין, met Anwar Sadat, who had jewish blood on his hands and they made peace,
Your statement of how they drive in monsey. Is the same as they blame Israeli tourists for stealing

DeleteAre you insane? You're comparing the Satmar Zalman Leib's disgusting pandering to the Mamzarani to Begin negotiating with Sadat? I cannot "begin" to start answering this utter stupidity.
Instead of calling out this unmitigated fool, you compare this to heads of state!
Insanity 101!
