Jay   (12.14.06)
people in the world, why do we even have to talk about this idiots? let them stay in Iran, they deserve each other, they are both self hating fanatics....
2. Israel should not let them live in
Shuli ,   T.A.   (12.14.06)
Israel, this people are just like any other terrorists, including the arab Israeli prliment members , who visit Iran and Syria on regular bases, spreading hate and venom against Israel, traders of the worst kind.
3.  Haredim in jerusalem, should prepare
Noa ,   Israel   (12.14.06)
a nice 'wellcome home reception' 'Mea Saarim style', for those so called "religious jews"....
4. neturei karta
anise   (12.14.06)
scum - expel them to Iran
5. Bravo Rabbi Metzger!
Ginette Golden ,   Toronto, Canada   (12.14.06)
We thank you on behalf of all the Jews of Israel and in the Diaspora, mostly for the poor surviving souls still with a number tatooed on their arms. This ABSURD conference in Iran shouldn't have taken place anyways. What I don't understand myself as a secular Jew is why that sect, the Neturei Karta, attended...they look like Haredi, they must be Jewish. So what the scoop? Iran does not celebrate Haloween as far as I know. Anybody out there with a logical explanation? I am really perplexed. Long live Israel with its Haredis, its secular Jews, its homosexual community, with all who love this country!
6. DO NOT MARRY WITH THEM, DO NOT EAT WITH THEM, DO NOT PRAY IN
(12.14.06)
MINYAN WITH THEM. THEY WILL NOT COME WITH IN YOUR COMMUNITY. THEY WILL NOT SEE YOUR FACES OR HEAR YOUR VOICES. HEREM.
7. TO ISRAEL HIRSCH
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (12.14.06)
While there are many flaws in the secular jewish state,that does not give you the right to go and embrace our iranian adolf hitler.My suggestion to you and your fellow morons is to move to germany.You give many people an excuse to hate religious jews , by the way you act .And still you have the gutspah to live here,you prove yourself to be on the level of a parasite. I write this as a torah observant jew ,which i doubt i can call you. My parents are both survivors,your actions are a chilul hashem and show a serious sinas chinam. Basicily you show us not the way of torah,but an arrogance that is hurtfull to all your fellow jews and an embarresment to the world. Even the fact that you give your opinion to Ynet,tells me how far gone you are. You only ad to the darkness already surrounding us,shame on you. And my apologies to all the man and women who are out there protecting us.
8. He is right 100%, They are traitors
Bechor   (12.14.06)
Have they no shame? How dar they call themselves Jewish? Even if they do not support the existence of a Jewish State, how can they openly support the man who has vowed to "wipe it off the map" along with 6 MILLIONS FELLOW JEWS! Disgraceful, sick, twisted, evil people is all these Neturei Karta are, and they should be treated as outcasts by the rest of the Jewish world.
9. As a son of a late Holocaust survivor from Auschwitz
Al ,   Canada   (12.14.06)
I am appauled and disgusted that these NK vermin would have shown up in Iran amongst our sworn enemies inorder to confirm their own misguided view of History. Their despicable faces were splashed accoss the front page of The NationalPost here in Canada. Needless to say I felt an urge to simply throttle them into the ground. They and their fucken families. They are to me garbage. They are not Jews.They are an outrage. Indeed they ought to thrown out of Israel . Of course Israel being a suck up as it is will allow these vermin to stay there sucking up any and all handouts afforded to them.
10. Where protest ends
Stan ,   Baltimore, USA   (12.14.06)
There is a tradition within the Jewish law on points of disagreements on various things. Its ok to disagree and criticize. However what Neturei Karta did is complete betrayal of Jewish heritage. To side with antisemites and thus to be possibly become a tool of the destruction of Am Isroel --I am not sure anyone can understand that.
11. Holocaust Conference
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (12.14.06)
Any Jew who dignified Ahmadinejad with his presence at this conference should be stripped of his Israeli citizenship and excommunicated from the Community of Jews. I'm not a Jew, and I'm not very religious, but this is an unpardonable outrage. All the semantics of Zionism vs. Palestine/Israel won't change the fact that 6 million innocent Jews were slaughtered. Hitler didn't care whether they were Zionists or just plain vanilla Jews. It happened. End of story.
12. They make schizophrenia look like hay fever
Sigfried S. Kuhn ,   Aberdeen   (12.14.06)
Hirsch and his fellow evil-doers are monsters. The only question should be whether they can plead not guilty to a charge of treason on the basis of an insanity defense. In any case, they should be tried for treason and if found guilty, given a choice of jail or expulsion from Israel.
13. HIGHLY PAID by PLO TERRORISTS - TRAITORS to the HUMAN RACE
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (12.14.06)
In rebellion to the One great G-D of the Universe, Neturei Karta are liars and propagandists for global jihadists: http://www.intelligence.org.il/eng/sib/9_04/araf_ap17.htm
14. These ones and the Arab MKs
Maria T ,   Canada   (12.14.06)
There is the clear issue of treason here as well as in the case of Arab MKs who support Israel's enemies. The country is under a threat of war and also suffering terrorist attacks daily so none of this nonsense should be tolerated.
15. netura carta guys don't see the irony in
bob ,   potomac md   (12.14.06)
the netura carta guys don't see the irony in the fact that their Iranian and other Islamic friends in the Middle East draw anti-Semitic cartoons--and in those anti-Semitic cartoons, what do the Jews look like? Netura Carta guys!
16. compensation
isiaiah   (12.14.06)
the jews should be compensated because islam which claims superiority to christianity blocked jewish escape from nazi europe going against they who save one life save the universe .
17. Neturei Karta
rsa ,   englewood,nj   (12.14.06)
Disgraceful and despicable people. Israel should not allow any of those who attended the conference to re-enter the State on grounds of treason. They are lower than Ahmenedijad and David irving - makes me sick!
18. wheres fadi?
jason ,   usa   (12.14.06)
and ellen is not comming here..
19. They are the Cindy Sheehans of Judaism
Mike Jefferson ,   Washington, D.C.   (12.14.06)
So why give them any bother? So, some traitors come with payot, what's the big deal? Benedict Arnold was a trusted general and hero before he sold out his country. Throughout history, there have always been Kapo like cretins. In the end, their fate is always the same.
20. They are Dying Out
thewisemann ,   Los Angeles   (12.14.06)
It is our understanding that there is a significant amount of inbreeding among these former Jews, and that, as a result, disease and early death is rampant. We understand that these former Jews are dying off. However, Rabbi Lau is correct. They must be treated as ex-Jews. They are not even self-hating Jews because they are not Jewish anymore.
21. Renewed Sanhedrin should call for Herem
LEE ,   NY, USA   (12.14.06)
As far as I've read several times there has been an effort to re-establish the old Sanhedrin (Jewish court of Law):(http://www.thesanhedrin.org/en/index.html) It is my suggestion that one of the first issues they should tackle is whether or not to officially place a Herem (excommunication) on this vile group of fakes who dress like religious Jews and only do harm to the Almighty and His nation. It seems like the concept of Herem was tailor-made for them.
22. Cherem... excommunication! Get 3 or 300 or 3000 rabbis!!!
Roscio ,   Rome, Italy   (12.14.06)
These monsters have embraced every Jew-killer in the ME: Arafat, Nasrullah and now the worst, Ahmadinejad, who openly NEGATES (not questions) the Shoah and announces his plan for a new Shoah. We must tell the world that the NK are NOT Jews. If they feel that Israel must be abandoned to the Arabs, let them start with their own homes in J'lem. Send them out of Israel for good. They are rod'fim, pursuers of the destruction of the Jewish community.... they have openly and continally cut off their souls from Am Yisrael, and now they have spit on the graves of the 6 million victims of the Shoah... so they must no longer be allowed to foul the holy land of Eretz Yisrael. When will the Israelis start cleaning up Israel of these maniacs and the corrupt gov't as well?
23. Neturei Karta Not Orthodox, Reform!
Yonatan Koss ,   Chi Town, OR USA   (12.14.06)
Some people even believe that a man named Jesus changed the Laws of Torah, with the first actual Reform Church. Then 2,000 years later group in Germany denounced temple sacrifices, Memzerut, Mikvah and so many other things. They even stated in 1845 that Germany was the new Zion! Is it any wonder Hashem poured out Fury upon the Reform movement that started in Hamburg Germany where they built the first reform temple saying that there would never be a temple in Israel again! Now we have the idiots in the Neturei Karta who would try to destroy Israel to prove their very weak postulation, more of a scenario than anything else. They look like Orthodox Jews with all the trappings but they are Reform Jews through and through. They claim that Israel should not exist today yet the prophets spoke of its return in the TeNak. They live inside Israel but pray for it’s demise! The negate the fact that seven Arab armies with artillery came up against a organized band of Jews with only rifles and pistols and lost with hundreds of thousands more men than Israel had? How is that possible, there is no explanation except for the most absurd idea the Neturei Karta ever heard, Devine Intervention! Be glad, very glad they are a minority of a minority in Israel! The Sanhedrin Council should make all of them Memzerut for their profanity!
24. Can the concept of rodef apply to them?
(12.14.06)
25. Cherem
Yisraeli   (12.14.06)
They have clearly aligned themselves with Haman Harasha against Am Yisrael. Whereas the "State" may be no Mordechai, there are plenty Mordechais walking around in Eretz Yisrael and neturei karta have clearly sided with Haman against Mordechai. The Sanhedrin of Tiveria should discuss this matter and put them by theyre individual names in Cherem. May their pictures and names be posted everywhere for all to see so that no Jew breaks the cherem placed on them. Ousted from any shul they may enter, ousted from any food shop, ousted from any jewish businness premises they may enter, look away when seen on the street. Only a complete cherem is the way to deal with them.
26. DAS NAZI CARTA MALIGNANT OPPORTUNISM AT ITS WORST
Nebosa Yitzchak M ,   Toronto   (12.14.06)
They are the enemies of every Jew everywhere.
27. don't blame Nk
Yitzchak ,   teaneck, usa   (12.14.06)
don't blame Nk - blame chareidim who tolerate them - it is up to aguda and satmar to spit them out and cut off their funding, throw them out of shuls. their children out of yeshivos and don't let them marry into their families - the boycott must start with the eida chareidis and extend to other chareidi institutions - they and they alone can stop nk
28. to wiseman
yitzchak ,   teaneck   (12.14.06)
they are not dying out - they average 10 kids per family and will out breed other jews - the only way to stop them is to boycott them as detailed above
29. Neturei Karta are not Jews
Maurice Eisenstein ,   Munster, USA   (12.14.06)
Neturei Karta are no more Jews than the Iranians who invited them. The live off of the blessing of Judaism, while destroying it trough their treason. All Neturei Karta are false messiah and must be declared dead by all religious Jews. What they did in Iran is indefenisble and unforgivable. It directly kills Jews and therefore they are condemned to excommunication.
