1. The NK are Excommunicated "jews"
(12.11.06)
Read http://www.israelnationalnews.com/news.php3?id=71966 They are a extremly tiny "group" that live in Mea Sharim, none of their beliefs are legitmate or approved not even the Satmar as in the article above shows. So THEY DO NOT REPRESENT JUDAISM BUT ARE TOOLS OF EVIL. So please I am sorry for what they are doing but they do NOT NEVER EVER EVER represent the Haredim population in Israel nor America. Just because you were the "garb" does not make you religious or make you a "rabbi". So please, curse them all you want just remember they are banished jews who do not represent anyone except the enemy.

5. Ymach Shmom
Duddy ,   NYC   (12.11.06)
As jews we always had sick outcasts who were our biggest enemies. I am sure that most of the nuteria karta (ymach shmam vzichron) are reincarnations of Copos or early christians
6. #5 The NK in reality are the least dangerous
(12.11.06)
Since they dont dictate our policy nor try to corrupt Jewish Law (conservative, reform, etc).
7. it is not wise to ignore such evil
rachel ,   usa   (12.11.06)
Again they are trying to rewrite history from the middle east to Germany and Europe.

Arie ,   Afula   (12.11.06)
that anti-Semites like carter baker and the PM of spain are not in attendance as keynote speakers
9. NK Not Excommunicated
Dovy ,   Toronto   (12.11.06)
That link is to a letter that has 1) No letterhead; 2) No signatures; 3)No names of rabbis. So what kind of "excommunication is that?!
10. Why did Israel not drop a bomb on this "conference"
Judah ,   Golan Heights,ISRAEL   (12.11.06)
We could have wiped out the Iranian leadership, those fake Rabbis, David Duke and the Western holocaust deniers in ine swoop!
11. Even the neturei kapo were there
jason white ,   afula,israel   (12.11.06)
Why are they allowed to live in Israel? They should be erased from our Zionist land and their "rabbi's" graves destroyed by the govt. These microbes have no place in our country and they should be shunned by all Jews.If a Jew were to see one,he should either spit in it's face or punch it out. They are a shame to Judaism and they follow hitler's teaching and not our Torah.Their "rabbis" are the filth of the universe.
12. What a load of Crap
Jellybean ,   Chicago   (12.11.06)
If they can talk about this subject and "some" Claim that this is fiction what about the Nuremberg Trials?
13. I agree with #11
Alex ,   Brooklyn, NY   (12.11.06)
14. #11 is RIGHT and if dont act, we will all be ashes AGAIN....
Alex ,   Brooklyn, NY   (12.11.06)
Why should they be allowed to live in Israel if they dont support the creation of the Jewish State. All of those hassidim who attended the conference are nothing but trash and backstabbers. The conference was not about creation of the jewish state, it was about existence of Holocaust. do those haredim also deny that millions of jews were exterminated? what is going on with those people, and if we dont react, then we will have exactly the same fate as in WWII with Hitler. We will all be erased from the face of this earth along with Israel, if we dont react and do something about this hate that is spreading and spreading. We cant just deny that this is occuring in front of our eyes. We cant be like those silent Jews who simply followed and did what Nazis were telling them, and where are they now? They are ashes in fields of Poland and Eastern Europe. We must react, because this monkey is up to no good, with his anti-Israel ideology. If we dont act we will suffer the same fate as our forefathers and those who will survive will have exact the same numbers tattooed on our arms. Is that what we want? WE MUST STOP THIS NOW!!!!!! LONG LIVE ISRAEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

17. to all skeptics
v. n.y. ,   usa   (12.11.06)
it's very interesting to see who in fact is allowed to attend this conference........ david duke...my god! anti black, klu klux clan member and staunch hater of blacks, jews, etc... neturei karta rabbis.....do not believe in the state of israel until the moshiach comes. therefore, not an unbiased entity jewish israelis, post holocaust survivors with memories and testimonies regarding the holocaust were not given visa and permitted to attend....very biased! other jews and scholars familiar with history and embarassed to take part in this disgusting farce of a conference are too embarassed to attend or convince iran of the reality of the holocaust. note that no one, no one, without an antisemetic, anti israel sgenda was allowed to participate or enter iran. iran doctored this panel of scholars to suit their needed outcome. it's biased, one sided, and extremely unfair not only to us as jews, but to the memory of our ancestors who suffered tremenduously suring this holocaust. there are many american ww2 soldiers who liberated the camps and saw the entire operation, the horrifying results and all the existing MACHINERY of gas chambers, torture, medical experiments, and crematori ovens. where are these men, like my uncle who told us everything. unfortunately he's dead. there is footage in film and doccumentaries that show the gas chambers and crematoriaS. WOULD AHMADINEJAD APPROVE OF THESE PHOTOS BEING SHOWN? I DOUBT IT. this is jew bating and re-writing our history shamelessly!
18. 'Night" by Elie Wiesel
Lyn ,   USA   (12.12.06)
I am reading a book on the holocaust I just started today and then to come in an see this article just makes me sick to my stomach. I think the words should be "Never forget and act NOW," for this generation. From the book - "Was there a way to describe the last journey in sealed cattle cars, the last voyage toward the unknown? Or the discovery of a demented and glacial universe where to be inhuman was human, where disciplined, educated men in uniform came to kill, and innocent children and weary old men came to die? Or the countless seperations on a single fiery night, the tearing apart of families, entire communities? Or incredibly, the vanishing of a beautiful, well-behaved little Jewish girl with golden hair and a sad smile, murdered with her mother the very night of their arrival. Only those who experienced Auschwitz know what it was. Others will never know. But could they at least understand? Could men and women who consider it normal to assist the weak, heal the sick, to protect small children, and respect the wisdom of their elders respect what happened there? Would they be able to comprehend how, within that cursed universe, the masters tortured the weak and massacred the children, the sick and the old? Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, that turned my life into one long night seven times sealed. Never shall I forget the smoke. Never shall I forget the small faces of the children whose bodies I saw transformed into smoke under a silent sky. Never shall I forget those flames that consumed my faith forever. Never shall I forget the nocturnal silence that deprived me for all eternity of the desire to live Inside the barbed wire, warnings from a "veteran" inmate, counseling my father and I to lie about our ages: my father to make himself younger and I to make myself older. The selection. The chimneys looming in the distance under an indifferent sky. The infants thrown into fiery ditches...I did not say they were alive, but that was what I thought. But then I convinced myself, no, they were dead, otherwise I would have surely lost my mind. And yet other inmates saw them: they were alive when they were thrown into the flames. "Sometime's I am asked if I know "the response to Auschwitz"; I answer that not only do I not know it, but that I don't even know if a tragedy of this magnitude has a response. What I do know is that there is a "response" in responsibility. When we speak of this era of evil and darkness, so close and yet so distant, "responsibility" is the key word. The witness has forced himself to testify. FOR THE YOUTH OF TODAY, FOR THE CHILDREN WHO WILL BE BORN TOMORROW. HE DOES NOT WANT HIS PAST TO BECOME THEIR FUTURE. For the survivor who chooses to testify, it is clear: his duty is for the dead and for the living. He has no right deprive future generations of a past that belongs to our collective memory. To forget would be not only dangerous but offensive; to forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time. Elie's dad was shot and beaten to death by the SS. Elie saw his mother, little sister and most of his family disapear into the furnaces. I am at a loss for words. I feel extremely sad and will be praying for this world that seems to be swallowed up in evil. I hope everyone will get this book and then share it with a friend. No human being ever needs to forget. Dear G-d, I pray for your people, please protect and bless them and their generations to come. Amen.
19. Anti-Semitism
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (12.12.06)
Let's see, if I have this right: Anti-Semitism only exists in the West which is why anyone with an Israeli passport or visa is not allowed into Iran. That, as usual, makes perfect Ahmadinejad sense. Will somebody, please, tell that emperor that he is not wearing clothes.
20. @11 and 13
Uriel ,   Zagreb, Croatia   (12.12.06)
I disagree with you for physical attack: Torah teaches us not to attack other beings. True, it teaches us to eradicate evil, also... So I propose - and feel very comfortable with it, yes - a renewal of HEREM for these guys: no trade, no approaching for them, nothing! If we could do it for Spinoza, who is guilty in my opinion for much LESSER sin than Naturei Karta, then CERTAINLY we can do it for them! Let them be Jews no more!
21. Anti-Semitism only in the West??
Jewish American ,   USA   (12.12.06)
I think 19 had it right, Iran is very anti-semetic and anti-western. When I first heard about this joke of a conference, I could have told you the result since I was pretty sure no legitamite scholars would be there, either because they didnt want to waste thier time or Iran did not want someone there who actually had crediblitly. This is just what Iran wants, any kind of PR it can get, so please Ynet, don't give it to them. Iran just wants any kind of attention they can get, and this does not help, we already know they are a sick and twisted people, so don't cover this stuff. (Besides, this should be left for BBC to cover lol)
22. ### 10 Juda
Dr. Joji Cherian ,   Aluva India   (12.12.06)
Were you sarcastic Juda? Or serious?
23. I REBUKE THE NK
Michael U ,   SF,CA   (12.12.06)
I hereby rebuke the evil NK, may they be cursed and their families be cursed now and forever. These people have turned their backs on the Jewish people, consorted with every form of evil known to man. These people are like dogs and pigs, their souls are already dead. They are the living SATAN, decieving the world through their dress, claiming to be Rabbis. Their portion in the world to come is long gone, let their bodies die.
24. iran conference
charlie ,   england   (12.12.06)
Aron Cohen stop playing with jewish blood!!!
25. re: #1
MEI 1   (12.12.06)
Including by non-Zionist and anti-Zionist groups(!): The umbrella group, comprised of Satmar, Bobov, Belz, Vizhnitz, Munkacz, Kiryas Joel, Monroe, and other communities - many of them openly and sharply critical of Zionism - termed the PLO sympathizers "evil associates of our enemies." The statement continued, "...their depiction in the local and international media in religious garb and prayer shawls marching arm-in-arm with Palestinian Jew-haters has besmirched the reputations of hundreds of thousands of decent Orthodox, hareidi and Hassidic Jews worldwide. Unfortunately this despicable minuscule group, who were ejected decades ago from our synagogues and communities for similar activities, do not accept or listen to the rulings of the leaders of our communities... They should under no circumstances, Heaven forbid, be associated with any recognized hareidi or Hassidic community... We hope and pray that these individuals will speedily realize the enormous damage they have caused to our communities and to the Jewish people at large with their evil undertakings, creating a major desecration of G-d's name on such a massive and unprecedented scale and repent for this terrible sin. Until that time they will continue to be unwelcome amongst Torah-observant Jews - who faithfully follow the teachings of their Rabbis - in all aspects of the private and communal lives." http://www.israelnn.com/news.php3?id=22548 This talk back was originally published by Yishai Kohen , YeShA, Israel on 3/13/06 on the page of http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3227231,00.html
26. Neturei Karta---- highly Paid by PLO A MUST READ
MEI 1   (12.12.06)
Allotments of large amounts of money to Rabbi Moshe Hirsch, the “foreign minister” of the ultra-orthodox, virulently anti-Zionist Jewish sect known as Neturei Karta. Two extraordinary payments of $25,000 ( January 13, 2002) and $30,000 ( February 14, 2002), show that Arafat often gave payoffs to Hirsch. http://www.intelligence.org.il/eng/sib/9_04/araf_ap17.htm
27. NOT Worthy the fight.
Abraham Calzaadiilla ,   Eufaula, Al   (12.12.06)
I think that The crazy Mr President of Iran just picked a fight with the free world........but It is was he want somebody to fight with and Israel is not going to do it alone........USA,UK,Taiwan ,El Salvador,Argentina and other counties are going to side Eretz Israel . Israel needs to build good shelters in order to protec elder and children population. That Almedinayad and his friends wnt to repeat History denieying it but this time No Jew is going to enter to any extermination camp........even Germany is ready to not repeat such atrocity.
29. #26 what a great evidence !
(12.12.06)
a receipt without signature of the recipient has the price of just a piece of worn paper. even the translation "expenses for the activities of" was wronly attached to the Rabi, but the correct one is an isolated sentence which can belong to any body including Arafat himself for unidentified purpose; "work expenses"
30. This man is a joke....
DR ,   Florida, USA   (12.12.06)
Anyone who so blatantly denies the Holocaust is only after attention. 99% of all people agree that this event took place and that MIllions of Jews were brutally murdered. Denying this, only shows a lack of comapassion and of reason. I would call it mentally ill and/or EVIL. Iran should be condemned for allowoing its president to not only deny all this, but to make cartoon contests about it, hold conferences about it...trully sickening. This is what the world needs to fear today. Countries that choose to erase history form the books and make up their own reality. This is how wars start and how whole cultures disappear.
