31. Hypocrite!
(01.22.13)
If he does not recognize the State of Israel how can he fly there? He is encouraging others to live in poverty, but he does not. Our tribe does not need nut-jobs like this. There is plenty of real-estate in Iran, rather go there and huck them.
32. Biggest Chasidic comunity
Ari ,   Montreal - Canada   (01.22.13)
Is it bigger tha Chabad ???
33. Heretics
Sol ,   Toronto   (01.22.13)
The Satmars are a cult that reject both Jewish history and religion. They are locked into a medievalist misogynist mindset that is more at home in a ghetto then Israel. They are so blinded by their deep misunderstanding of Torah and tradition that they work against the true miracle of Israel. I am not sure what they are but I am sure they are not keepers of any Jewish tradition. Personality cult comes closest I think.
34. #30 Correcting impersonation
Keren ,   IL-BR   (01.22.13)
Learn for the next impersonation attempt that Jews do no believe in the "coming of Him",not even Satmar believes such thing.
35. this perspective is insane locked in
Itzchak ,   Jerusalem   (01.22.13)
the galut mentality.
36. This Rabbi supports a pedophile
moshe ,   usa   (01.22.13)
This rabbi supports a pedophile and convicted child molestor here in new york city by the name of nechemya weberman. Also watch the youtube in satmar custudy.
37. satmers , bloodsuckers all the same
alan ashkenazie ,   nyc ny   (01.22.13)
the satmers are no example to follow . all they do is a chillul hashem . they molest . the brothers fight .
38. True Jews
JoJo   (01.22.13)
The Satmars are the true Jews, not like the misguided bunch of Zionist "Jews" on these talkback posts. Israel is the enemy of Yiddishkeit. It is simple for those real Jews who know the facts. As Naftali Bennett said, it is safer for a Jew to live in Teaneck than in Israel. Safer physically, and safer for his soul.
39. 29 - send them back to Hungary ,...
split ,   US   (01.22.13)
Yeah right like they really miss them there or anywhere the hard working natives got the 'pleasure' to tolerate their parasitic lifestyle and share their land with them ,... God have a peculiar sense of humor first he gave the zionist converts a piece of wasteland then He added some black hatted parasitic strays to take care off ;) ,...
40. Satmar
SteveR ,   Dallas USA   (01.22.13)
"Zionism leads to hatred of Jews in the entire world?" according to the Satmar rabbi? I will tell you what leads to a hatred of Jews in America. Satmar welfare cheats, Satmar child abusers and rapists, Satmar tax cheats, Satmar fraud against the government, Satmar absolute non-contribution to the economy but their constant taking welfare, Section 8 housing, food stamps. Satmar leads to hatred of Jews.
41. Satmar Retoric
ik ,   USA   (01.22.13)
Why didn't the Saintly Satmar Rebbi and his followers go to Gaza or Iran to issue their devout anti-Zionism? Don't they also espouse the same anti-Zionism?
42. He Meant To Say: Satmar: No greater offense than Working
Seth ,   Washington, DC   (01.23.13)
43. What a waste! They could have swayed vote!
Jeffrey Rosen ,   Tel Aviv   (01.23.13)
How uterly stupid. The Torah says no such thing. Think of how these masses could have supported religious parties and CRUSHED the leftist athiests and Orthodox enemt Yair Lapid.
44. #39 split - it’s not a wasteland now, is it?
solomon ,   bklyn   (01.23.13)
45. #38 jojo
solomon ,   bklyn   (01.23.13)
You are clearly one of those Jews who do know the facts...or know them but avoid them like the plague.
46. Yesh atid!
Adam ,   Manchester, UK   (01.23.13)
and Bayit yehudi.
47. #45 1st line should be "do not know the facts"
solomon ,   bklyn   (01.23.13)
48. A GREATER OFFINSE IF BEING A SATMAR
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (01.23.13)
49. Satmar
Edouard ,   Canada   (01.24.13)
What is satmar mean???? Santa Maria this is the name of the village they origin in Hungary They are just a sect soooo far from Judaism They have no business in our country Hemand all the ones that looks like them
50. @30 and the @ Satmar Rabbi
Jrebecca ,   modiin   (01.24.13)
No you cant live here under the Palestinians - they dont want you and unlike us nice peaceful Jews they would toss you out of this land.
51. @16 If NYC welfare is that generous I want some too
Jrebecca ,   modiin   (01.24.13)
This Rabbi is supposedly bringing with $6 million for Yeshivot here. That's an awful lot of money collected after people have to live, from Welfare.
52. $6 million - to be spent in Israel
Jrebecca ,   modiin   (01.24.13)
That $6 million will be spent on food, water, electricity etc bought in Israel. Great for our economy, especially if he can persuade his people not to take a cent from our government.
53. #52 - excellent point!
solomon ,   bklyn   (01.25.13)
