I guess Satmar has power in Israel too.
Remember what these barbarians did to Rav Moshe Feinstein z"l? Rav Moshe needed protection against the Satmar savages, when he traveled to Williamsburg. I remember when they poured glue into his locks on the lower East Side!
Remember what Satmar did to the Kloizenberger Rebbe z"l? He had to escape into exile ..to New Jersey, hiding near the Lincoln Tunnel to escape their barbarism ... and mind you, the Kloizenberger Rebbe was nephew of R' Yoel.
All this while the "Tzaddik Hador" was alive and well!
It's a shitah that is coupled with brutal violence, and therefore its a false representation of Torah and it's teachings!
Well it seems that there are Roshei Yeshivah in Israel that do not want to back the arrested shaygatz that followed the fanatic, Rabbi Shmuel Auerbach, that ruled that the bochrim shouldn't even register for the draft, but are afraid to speak out because they are frightened of Satmar repercussions!
Here is a direct quote:
Well known Jerusalem figure Rabbi Yisrael Gillis commented on the incident, telling Kikar Shabbos News “I am afraid to speak out realizing there is Satmar and within an hour my house will be up in flames. They will burn down my home and I prefer to sit and remain silent. Realize there are prominent rabbonim and askanim known in the chareidi camp who are afraid to speak out for they live in the city, and therefore they remain silent”.
