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.

Rabbi Raziel Shevach a father of 6 Murdered by Arabs

Rabbi Shevach arriving at hospital

Rabbi Raziel Shevach, a 35 year-old Jewish father of six, has died of his wounds following a shooting attack near Havat Gilad in Samaria this evening.

Rabbi Shevach was a mohel and volunteered with Magen David Adom. About a year ago, he finished studies for the rabbinate, and was currently at the peak of studies to be a rabbinical arbiter.

Medics provided aid to the wounded man and evacuated him to Meir Hospital in Kfar Saba.

Initial reports indicate that terrorists shot from a passing vehicle and escaped the scene.

Security forces are combing the area.

MDA medic Elyashiv Reichenberg described the scene.

 "I departed in an MDA ambulance from the nearby community of Kedumim, arriving at the scene within a very short time. On the side of the road near the security rail, I could see a private vehicle which bore signs of gunfire. Approaching the vehicle, I saw that the driver was partially conscious, with bullet wounds to his upper body."

"Residents who live in the community nearby heard the shooting and arrived to help. With the help of an IDF medical team that also arrived the scene, we provided emergency life-saving treatment, then evacuated him to the hospital in critical condition," the medic described.

Samaria Council head Yossi Dagan responded to the tragic incident, saying, "It's inconceivable that terrorists feel free to shoot at innocent civilians. Nevertheless, I want to send a clear message to our enemies: We will not give in to terror. We have chosen the path of life."

Skeverer Rents Home to Illegals in New Hempstead without even owning it!!

 We reported on Dec 2, how Skver is dumping hundreds of illegal latinos in New Hempstead, a town bordering New Square, to prevent young Jewish families from moving close to New Square. 

They buy homes and then rent them out to illegals, many of them violent criminals to discourage frum Jews from buying reasonable homes in the neighborhood. 

The motive behind these bizarre Skverer actions is that they don't want the Skverer children to know that there are other Jews in the world that are not Skver who are Shomrei Torah Umitzvois ....

Now they are renting homes to illegal criminals with homes they don't even own!!!

Rockland County Executive Ed Day announced the county is suing two men who they allege illegally occupied and rented property that had been foreclosed.

The county is suing Joseph Greenbaum and Elazer Dancziger for renting foreclosed apartments in New Hempstead that the county owned.

"Their actions were not only illegal, they were outrageous," said Day. "It's a scam – like renting the Brooklyn Bridge. They represented that they owned a property that they did not own."

In a complaint filed in Rockland County Supreme Court, the county is seeking to recover damages for the unlawful occupation of the property.

Greenbaum, the property owner, had failed to pay taxes on the property since 2012, the county said.

After the county took possession of the property, all tenants were told they had to move though the two men continued to rent the property. Tenants told investigators that they had paid $2,000 in rent per unit, the county said.

The case has been referred to the Rockland County Sheriff's Department for criminal investigation.

Yeshivah Bochur stone-thrower arrested for attack on IDF soldier

Police arrested an anti-draft extremist in Beit Shemesh Monday evening, hours after an IDF soldier was injured in a stone-throwing attack that caused him to lose control of his vehicle and crash.

The attack occurred Monday morning, when a 21-year-old soldier driving in a predominantly-Charedi neighborhood of Ramat Beit Shemesh.

Anti-draft radicals spotted the driver’s IDF uniform, the soldier later said, and began hurling rocks at the vehicle.

During the attack, the soldier lost control of his vehicle and crashed into an electric pole.

MDA emergency first responders were called to the scene, and treated the soldier before evacuating him to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem. MDA officials say the soldier suffered light injuries in the crash.

“When we arrived at the scene, we saw the driver walking around a car that had crashed into an electric pole,” an MDA medic who treated the soldier reported.

“He told us that he hit the pole after a rock was thrown at him. He was lightly injured. We gave him medical treatment and evacuated him to the hospital in light condition.

Police units were also dispatched to the scene of the attack, and opened an investigation into the incident.

On Monday night, police arrested one suspect in connection with the savage attack, Behadrei Haredim reported.

Beit Shemesh Mayor Moshe Abutbol condemned the attack.

“It is sad that we have these kinds of extremists living here. I once again call on the extremists, as I called on them at [last year’s] Memorial Day honoring fallen IDF soldiers: 

get out of our city.”

Chareidim Go to Har Habayis Every Day Now!

Chareidim now go up to the Har Habayit every day relying on Rishonim such as the Me'erie, that allowed it ...

I don't have enough knowledge on this topic to have an opinion, but if those Chareidim have their "Dass Torah" that allow it ... then Kol Ha'kovod! 

It's important to have a Jewish presence there so the world sees that we haven't abandoned it and that we hope to return in mass to the Har Habyis very soon!

Yeshivah Boys Throw Rocks At IDF Soldier’s Vehicle Leading To Accident

An IDF soldier was driving his vehicle in Ramat Beit Shemesh today,  during the morning hours. He was attacked with rocks and trash thrown by Yeshivishe thugs . As a result, he lost control of the vehicle and struck a pole.

United Hatzalah volunteer EMT Yitchak Levinger, who runs a store that was two streets away from the incident, was the first responder at the scene.

“When I arrived I found a young man, 18 or 19 years old who was highly agitated and pale after the car he was driving in had been attacked, according to his statement, by a group of charedim. 

The assailants had thrown rocks and bags of trash at his car and screamed at him. He lost control of his vehicle and his car slammed into a lamppost resulting in serious damage to his vehicle. Luckily, he sustained only light injuries in the form of lacerations to his face. 

After the accident, his car was surrounded by a bunch of Yeshivah Bochrim acting crazy. 

I approached the car and calmed the driver down, I treated his wound and stayed with him until the police and ambulance team arrived."

Satmar's Open Endorsement For Neturei Karta

See on the left side after the fold, a bulletin of Neturei Karta fund raising!

The article in Der Goy that advocates the Satmar position supporting the Neturei Karta !

So much for Satmar's official denial that "Neturei Karta has nothing to do with Satmar," and that Satmar SHIT'ah is against the Neturi Karta  Hashkafah!

Right there on the very front page of Der Goy, the official mouthpiece of the Zalonie faction of Satmar, you can clearly see the bulletin that directs the reader to turn to page 32.

See above photo of the actual article that openly supports the Neturei Karta!

The hateful article against other Jews starts with the words which millions of Jews utter on Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, the holiest days of the year 

     'ובכן יתקדש שמך ה

What utter chutzpah .....!!!

The Neturei Karta have met with Yasser Arafat and the Iranian murderers to support these Jewish Murderers with their plan to eradicate the Jewish people, G-D forbid!

The article quotes a guy by the name of "AH'mad" that supports the NK agenda.

How crazy and demented can Jewish people be?

I'm not going to translate the garbage in the article, suffice it to say that they cite Satmar philosophy in the article.

Neturei Karta officials have by in large been educated in Satmar Mosdois  and they quote almost exclusively from  their Quran the  Va'Yoel Moshe!

Enough said!

Norman Rosenbaum Tears Into Ezra "the shoiteh" Friedlander For His Defence of "cryin" Schumer!

Der Shoteh, Der Naar Friedlander with a skunk on his head!

 Remember, when I Posted that the Shoiteh and tuches lekker, Friedlander, published an Op-Ed in various frum publications backing "cryin'" Schumer?

Well, Norman Rosenbaum, whose brother Yaakov was brutally murdered on the streets of Crown Heights, wrote a response in a column in the Five Towns Times 

Don’t Justify The Unjustifiable Senator Schumer

By Norman Rosenbaum and Isaac Abraham

The recent public condemnation of Senator Schumer for refusing to write a letter in support of efforts to have Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin released from jail has certainly drawn some weird responses from those blindly loyal to the senator.

Quick to quote the expression of “Those who know, don’t speak, and those who speak don’t know,” Mr. Friedlander unashamedly follows up with an open admission that he is not privy to inside information on this issue and that he is just surmising what must have occurred (between Senator Schumer and Congresswoman Pelosi) based on his understanding of the political process.

Mr. Friedlander accuses those critical of Senator Schumer of shooting themselves in the foot, political immaturity if not political suicide, and failing to recognize the real power and influence of the senator. Mr. Friedlander’s support of the senator borders on hysteria, with Schumer critics targeted for wanting to convince the senator that he is not a friend of the Jewish community.

Not true! 

Schumer’s conduct was truly and fundamentally inconsistent with that of many of his Senate and Congressional colleagues (Democrats and Republicans alike), former senior law-enforcement officials, former judges, and eminent practicing attorneys. Senator Schumer was wrong and he must be made aware—unambiguously and unequivocally, but respectfully—of how his conduct is viewed. 

Nobody is looking to turn him into an enemy, but a repeat performance is also unacceptable. To suggest, as Mr. Friedlander does, that Senator Schumer would have had prior notice and would have tacitly approved of Ms. Pelosi’s written support for Rubashkin’s release only exacerbates the enormity of Schumer’s failure to do likewise. What did the senator not appreciate—the injustice, the inhumanity, or the corruption that beset the justice system throughout?

The strength of any friendship (political included) is truly measured by the ability of friends to be open and honest with one another, particularly when they do not agree. Intellectual honesty must reign supreme; otherwise, the polluted swamp will only ever continue to deteriorate. Silence, appeasement, and condoning of the unacceptable conduct of politicians are antiquated and obsolete options when advancing the best interests of a community.

The most eerie aspect of the position of Senator Schumer in regard to Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin is that we have seen it all before. When the family of Yankel Rosenbaum, murdered in the 1991 Crown Heights pogrom, was pursuing U.S. Justice Department intervention, then-congressman Schumer was also conspicuously silent. At the forefront of the pursuit for justice were Senator Alphonse D’Amato and Mayor Rudy Giuliani, wholeheartedly supported in their initiatives by then Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, Senate Minority leader Bob Dole, and New York Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan. The support they garnered included all of the Senate (Democrats and Republicans) and many Congressmen.

One can only wonder why Senator Schumer has managed to amass a record of failing to support the pursuit of justice over a period of 25 years; could it possibly be because he does not consider such a principle politically expedient?

Mr. Friedlander will remind you of Senator Schumer’s opposition to President Obama’s Iran nuclear deal. You remember that is the deal another friend of Friedlander’s, Congressman Jerry Nadler, supported. 

It would be most interesting to hear Friedlander’s justification of the opposing positions of his two good friends in that instance.
