Satmar Perfidy (Part 2)

Part 2

Finally the truth about the conduct of the Satmar Rebbe, Rabbi Yoel Teitelbaum and his followers during and after the Holocaust! 

This is the second of a two-part investigation into the life of the Satmar Rebbe. Read part one here.

***

During his stay in the Cluj ghetto, Rabbi Yoel Teitelbaum hid rather than position himself as a leader. 

On the rescue train, he avoided the other passengers, failed to encourage or to comfort them, and did not share the precious commodities provided by his followers with them. In Bergen-Belsen, too, despite the preferential treatment accorded him in the camp, he refrained from assuming a leadership role, even among the observant inmates. After his release, Rabbi Yoel elected to run a rescue campaign from the safety of Switzerland. His efforts to rescue Jewish children raised by gentiles were restricted to fundraising, and even in that task he failed abysmally. Once again, his conduct stands in stark contrast to that of other rabbis, who returned to their hometowns to lead their surviving flocks or worked relentlessly in the DP camps. All the sources describing the rescue activities of the Haredi community during the Holocaust, including archival sources, indicate that compared to other rabbis who survived the Holocaust, Rabbi Yoel’s contribution was negligible in both scope and significance.

After the Holocaust, Rabbi Yoel also turned his back on all those who had helped to rescue him. After settling in Palestine in 1946, he refrained from expressing any gratitude to the people and institutions that had been instrumental in his rescue and had endeavored to obtain certificates for him, among them Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Herzog, Agudath Israel leaders Rabbi Yitzhak Meir Levin and Rabbi Moshe Porush, and Ha-Mizrahi’s Rabbi Joseph Yitzhak Rotenberg. He scathingly attacked the institutions they headed and, unlike other Hasidic rebbes they helped rescue, refused to make even the slightest symbolic gesture of gratitude. Moreover, it seems he repudiated his benefactors on a personal level, too. As far as we know, Rabbi Yoel never sent any letters of gratitude or appreciation to any of the people or institutions involved in his rescue.

Satmar Perfidy (Part 1)

Finally the truth about the conduct of the Satmar Rebbe, Rabbi Yoel Teitelbaum and his followers during and after the Holocaust!

We have posted this before, but will re-post it to those who are new to this blog!

This article is adapted from an essay that appeared in Dapim 28:2 (2014), available here, and in Menachem Keren-Kratz’s  biography, The Satmar Rebbe, Rabbi Yoel Teitelbaum.

In her book Be-Seter Ha-Madrega (In the Covert of the Cliff), Haredi Holocaust historian Esther Farbstein writes, “Rabbi Yoel (Yoelish) of Satmar was unquestionably chief among leaders [of Haredi Jews in Hungary].” If Farbstein is correct in her claim, Rabbi Yoel’s conduct before, during, and after the Holocaust may explain, albeit only partially, the extraordinary devastation suffered by the Hungarian Orthodox community, which had regarded him as “chief among leaders.”

The first section of this article describes Rabbi Yoel’s life and actions during the Holocaust, both on personal and public levels, as reflected in his writings, the contemporary press, memoirs written by his Hasidim, and archival sources. In many cases, researchers note that Rabbi Yoel’s position regarding the Holocaust was extreme and exceptional compared to views held by other rabbis and spokespeople of the Haredi community. Yet the worldview he cultivated, coupled with his theological explanations of the Holocaust and its mystical meaning, drew a growing number of followers, in whose eyes he was the last remnant of a dying ideology. His anti-Zionist worldview, representing as it did to them the Eastern European “Old Home,” expunged his failures during the Holocaust. As his public stature grew, criticism from within diminished, while criticism from without was disregarded and dismissed as Zionist defamation.

Satmar lunatics mock the miracles that Hashem performs in Israel!

Der Goy ....The Caption reads  "The false miracles from the comedians of this generation"
The above article was written by a guy that signs it "Toub" the acronym of Teitelbaum

The Satmar leaders are getting very worried that the SHIT'ah is losing steam, since the Bochrim now have access to the internet and with a quick search they find out that they were fed a bunch of lies about Israel and that they, just like the Arabs were brainwashed in hating Eretz Yisroel!

They are now reading that the  world is now focusing on radical Muslim extremists that are killing, raping and beheading all infidels, be they, Sunni Muslims, Christians or Jews!
They are reading that the Arabs are killing mostly other goyim and that the victims  aren't even Zionists! Many of the victims actually hated Zionists!

They are wondering "what's going on?"

The Satmar hierarchy is in a big dilemma, on one hand they hate Israel and want the State of Israel to be totally annihilated; they daven three times a day in Shemonah Esrah and pray that the State be destroyed.... and they teach that to the thousands attending their institutions which they call "Mosdos Ha'Koidesh" Holy Mosdos,
and on the other hand, they have to explain to their naive sheep that they have to daven for the safety of Jews in Israel?

The naive Bochur is now totally confused .... which is it?
"If I daven for the destruction of the State, won't Jews get killed?"

So "how can I say Tehillim for the safety of Jews living in Israel, when I just finished my Shemoneh Esra where I  cursed  those very Jews and prayed for their destruction?"

The Bochur also doesn't understand why there are millions of Arab refugees escaping their countries, when they were told that Jews lived peacefully with the Arabs before the State (A brazen lie)!

"If Jews lived in the Arab countries in peace," they ask, "why can't the Arabs live with their own brother Arabs in peace?"
Arabs, according to what they have been taught lived peacefully with the Jews, but have no compunction of killing other Arabs?
"How come," they ask, "that Arabs have so far killed millions of their own, and they aren't even Zionists?"

They also cannot explain why the "cursed" Zionists offer every single Jew a home and there aren't any Jewish refugees?

They cannot explain how the Zionists even after the cuts are the biggest baalei tzedaka, and give every single Mosad in Israel, funds !

The Satmar Bochrim are now reading that Muslims murdered French people in France, and France isn't a Zionist State?
What's going on?

So the Satmar genius' are running around like poisoned rats  trying to explain their idiotic, outdated SHIT'ah, because they are quickly losing their young flock! They are inundating the sheep with their barbaric ideas thru their Yiddish Newspaper, Der Goy, and Der Blutteh.

The Bochrim can't understand why the SHIT'ah that they were growing up with which was to hate your fellow Jew living in Israel resembles the Arab SHIT"ah!

They cannot understand that the Satmar Newspapers read just like Al Jazzirrah!

They know that Israel is going thru a tough time now, but as they are now reading history for the very first time, they see that was always the case!
When did the Jews ever have peace...
Not even in the Midbar with Moshe Rabbeinu, did the Jews have peace, they were attacked by Ameliek in the Midbar in the presence of Moshe and the Urim V'tumim!

The Bochrim are now realizing that they were fed a bunch of Romanian propaganda to hate other Jews!

In this week's DER GOY, they mock the miracles that Hashem is performing for the Zionists, they are even mocking the open miracles that HKB"H did during the 6 day war, saying it wasn't from Hashem but from Satan!
Can you imagine? 
How low can a Jew go to say that the countless miracles that the Jews experienced and are experiencing is from  Satan!
How crazy and demented can you get?
And not only that, but to prove that these miracles were done by Satan, they quote from the Rambam and other Rishonim?

The book "Al Hagilah" twists words of the Holy Zohar to fit the anti-Zionist agenda! 

The bochrim can't understand how their "Holy Rabbonim" are taking passages of our holy Talmud Bavli, Talmud Yerushalmi, Sifri, Sifru, Mechiltah, Geonim, Rishonim and using those very holy words to explain their demented SHIT'ah!

The bochrim cannot understand how their Rebbe was constantly teaching about Hakorah Ha'toiv, and he had none after being saved by the Zionists!
They cannot understand how the Satmar "historians" re-wrote history and twisted the entire Kastner story to totally distort the  truth and now made it look like they didn't save him at all!
But the facts are very stubborn and don't lie, and the facts are that the Satmar Rebbe was on the Zionist train and he never acknowledged and thanked Kastner!
Those are the facts!

The Bochrim also can't understand why the Satmar Rebbe misled thousands and advised them not to emigrate to the then Palestine, stating as fact that Hitler would never come to Hungary and Romania and these very Chassidim with their entire families  were then butchered by the Nazis while he managed to escape with his family!
And guess to where he escaped to? Eretz Yisroel!!!!!!

The RBS"O has a sense of humor! Here is a guy that founded a chassidus on libeling Eretz Yisroel and to where does he run to when he needs a home? Eretz Yisroel!

And the Bochrim cannot understand why millions who were supposedly anti-Zionist Jews were murdered, while those Jews that lived in and those that managed to escape to Eretz Yisroel survived?

Turns out that the "Litzanei Hador" are the Satmar Gypsies, themselves!

Were Dasan V'aviram Satmar?

Originally, while still in Egypt they were committed Zionists, we know that, because they survived the makkah of Choshech in Mitzrayim. Only those Jews who wanted to remain in Chutz L'aaretz succumbed to the plague of darkness! Even though Dasan V'aviram were rashaim having given over information to Pharoh that Moshe killed the Egyption, Hashem spared them because at that time Dasan V'aviram still looked forward to go to Eretz Yisrael.

In this week's Parshas Korach, we see a sudden turn of events in reference to Dasan V'aviram. When Moshe goes to talk to them, to try to convince them to coax them to separate from the "Gadol Hador" Korach, they utter words right out of the Satmar handbook Al Hagilah V'al Hatmirah ...they say with proudness 
"Lo naaleh, we will not make aliya!"

The Satmar Rebbe R' yoel z"l did not allow any Satmars to make Aliya pre-WW2, even when the cursed Nazis were nipping at the Hungarian/Roumanian borders ...... and get this, even after WW2, having  learned that 6 million Jews were annihilated, he was adamant that they remain in Chutz L'aaretz ,unless they had special permission.

So what actually  happened that turned Dasan V'aviram to become ardent Satmars?

They attached themselves to then "Gadol Hador"....  Korach! 

There were other Gedolim (Moshe and Aaron, Yehoshuah, Kalev)  that advocated going to Eretz Yisroel, and it  mattered not who lived there....even if Eretz Yisroel was surrounded by enemies; Ameleik lived in the Negev, the Chittes, the Yevusites, the Amorites lived on the mountain, the Canaanites lived by the sea and by the banks of Jordan...but all the Gedolim really wanted was the gift that Hashem gave us .... Eretz Yisroel.

but they, Dasan V'aviram listened to their "Gadol" who even though their Gadol made absolutely no sense and spoke and 'ploppeled" naarishkeiten,  they went with their "Daas Torah" and said
 "Lo Naaleh .....Nope ....No  Aliya for us"

We now  know the catastrophic results in both situations!

How Satmar Treated Chabad in the 1970's under the leadership of R' Yoel Teitelbaum

 The Lubavitcher Rebbe in Effigy on Lee Aveune corner Hewes on Purim in the early 70's

Yes, my friends these are the Baalei Chesed! These are the ones that call anybody that disagrees with them....
"Apikorsim and Meenim"

This was during the lifetime of the Tzadik Hador, the Heiliger Rebbe, R' Yoel Teitelbaum z"l, outside on the streets of Williamsburg in full view.

Notice the smiling faces in the crowd!
Notice the children! 
Notice the upside down sign on the tree on the left that reads Lubavitcher Rebbe in Hebrew!

These children are today's leaders of Satmar!

This act was not condemned by the Rebbe or his anti-Jewish Newspaper "Der Goy"!

This is only one of many pictures of the Satmar hooliganism against their fellow Jews!
