Satmar constantly accuses the State of Israel of "antagonizing the nations" , but it seems that what is "good for goose" is apparently not good for the gander.....
It all depends whose ox is being gored..... if it's good for Satmar they will
throw the whole "hisgaarus be' umois" concept down the drain

According to R' Menachem Hachevroni, a Rishon that lived during the 13th century, Reb Shimon ben Yochai is buried in Kfar Chananya, which is 15km south of Meron. Reb Binyomen of Toledo mentions being in Meron at the Kever of Hillel and Shammai, but there is no mention that Reb Shimon ben Yochai was also buried there. There is no doubt that if Reb Shimon was buried in Meron, R' Binyomin would have mentioned that. And according to the Chida, there is absolutely no mekor that Reb Shimon ben Yochai was niftar on Lag Beomer. The first to mention the Yurzeit of Reb Shimon ben Yochai on Lag Be'omer is in the Sefer "Chemdas Ha'yamim, that some have accused of being from the Shabtzei Tzvi cult. According to the Yavetz, R' Yaakov Me'Emdim, R' Shimon ben Yochai never wrote the Zohar HaKodosh, it was R' Moshe d'Leon! Time to give credit where credit is due! According to the Gemorrah Yevamos (62)12,000 pairs of the students of Rebbe Akivah died. The Midrash, however states that only 300 talmidim died...... go figure! That Gemmorah states that all the talmidim died of a disease called "Askera." Rav Henkin and others say that "Askera" is a code word for getting killed by the Romans.... Were they in fact serving in the army??????
Roseanne Barr said at the Jerusalem Post Conference on Sunday, April 29, that she wants to move to Israel and run for prime minister — and she also talked about her phone call from Donald Trump.
“I’ve met him several times when he was just a civilian, or whatever you call it, not the president, just a showbusiness person and he was always nice to me. …He said ‘Congratulations on the ratings,’ cause he’s really into ratings like I am,” she said at the conference in NYC.
Then the actress, who is Jewish, thanked the former reality TV star for moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem.
“I want to thank you on behalf of my mother, and all the Jewish people, for moving the embassy to Jerusalem,” she told the businessman, adding that Trump told her that “a lot of presidents have promised it, but I wanted to get it done.” Trump’s decision to move the embassy has been a controversial one, but the Emmy winner believes “it’s the first step to peace in the world, I really do.”
Barr, who has been to Israel three times, told interviewer Dana Weiss, “I want to move to Israel and run for prime minister, I do. In 2012, I said I was gonna run for president of the United States and prime minister of Israel, a twofer. I do have that fantasy. If God calls me, I’ll go, of course.”
