31. Only Hashem Judges,
Vicky ,   Ashkelon Israel   (12.15.08)
and for the idiots who day such sick things over the death of a righteous family, shows that they have no concept of their own religion. Beware HaShem does not judge you. Tollerance is a more beauteous thing than a man made ideal of a pure religeon.
32. GOD PUNISHES US WITH NETUREI KARTA
Schnorrkell   (12.15.08)
Man these people are "punishers". They make Michael Jackson seem normal.
33. They are the Jewish version
Blue Pinky ,   NYC   (12.15.08)
of the Westboro Baptist Church. Using the deaths of heroes to try to further their demented cause. The Satmar rebbe who they claim to follow would have spit int heir faces.
34. Utterly disgraceful, phony fruitcakes (end)
stef ,   belgium   (12.15.08)
35. Neturi Karta punished by God
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (12.15.08)
1. They will become extint due to intermarriage and genetic decomposition. 2. God took their brains - the worst punshment anybody can take.
36. Chabad is the Best Example of what a Jew should be
JM ,   Bet Shemesh   (12.15.08)
Chabs Rabbis are the closest thing to soldiers of G-d. Chabad Rabbis are an example of what all Jews should strive to be, religious or not. They have mastered Ahavat Yisrael, the love of all Jews. Any Jew no matter how secular or religious, no matter how modestly or immodestly dressed will ALWAYS find shelter, a warm meal, and assistance of virtually any kind in a Chabad house. Yes, they will share Torah knowledge with you, but they will not force it on you or make it a condition of receiving the help you need. No one can complain of religious coerrsion, they simply wish to provide love and help to any Jew who needs it, and make a Jewish education available to every Jew who wishes to learn any aspect of our religion. Neturei Karta is a small goup of Jews who do not know how to love, respect, or take responsibility to protect other Jews, commandments that are just as, if not MORE important than the other tenants of Judaism they adhere to. There satement here is disgusting, and even if the truly believe it, there ae some things you just do not say.
37. Its all Good
motti ,   Bet shemesh   (12.15.08)
we are living in amazing times when peoples true colors come out and we can clearly distinguish good from evil. Chabad was the target because they represent Good ( not to take away from other who also do good) By murdering them in a shul that cared for all Jews, brought out the evil for all to see. Regarding NK: who cares what they say, you are all bigger and smarter so do not let them get under your skin. In spite of NK, go out and make this world a better place. a few suggestions can be found on www.chabad.org
38. why....?
gawain ,   israel   (12.15.08)
do journals and journalists see a need to publish every bit of nonsense and venom that someone belonging to a particular fringe group disseminates? i probably dislike chabad as much as neturei karta does, though for totally different reasons. i despise the type of missionary activities among jews with which chabad is involved and i don't think that there's any reason to pay attention to their messianic blindness, but that desn't blind me with hatred for them. to give any group like neturei karta coverage for its particular form of idiocy, is just plain wrong!!!
39. With all due respect
Norman   (12.15.08)
Ynet should go to the leaders of NK and ask them was this authorized or maybe the whole thing is a sham to blakkem the NK ???
40. Send NK to Gaza as missionaries...
Elaine ,   usa   (12.15.08)
What an embarassment to Judaism. What caused the NK to have such hate for Jews? Could be because they aren't?
41. Notorious Farter
Yikes!   (12.15.08)
42. Chabad all around the world better watch out then
jode ,   Israel   (12.15.08)
I guess all Chabadiv centers around the world need to watch out, in the times of Moshiach the Jews and muslims will be door to door , right next to each other .......... so to the Secular, there are all over ,.........
43. #36 Wisdom, Understanding, and Knowledge
Talula ,   Israel   (12.15.08)
Yes, I agree with some of what you wrote.
44. how much stupidity can god give you people?
galit   (12.15.08)
these good for nothing antisemitic Jews sit in Israel, get all the rights do nothing for even thier own - just sit on the big ass, make chikdren and curse the rest of the good people - I wish them god will find the way to pay them back. big time!
45. #23 y r u so scrappy? do u always believe everything u read?
#9   (12.15.08)
because u know sometimes y-net makes mistakes!
46. "NUT CASES"! ...(NOT LOSHON HARA !)
ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (12.15.08)
47. #18 - are you another jewhater
chaim ,   yerushalaim   (12.15.08)
everyone that posted a coment on this article condemnded naturei karta and their hate for felow jews. you are only one that reacted with hate to another jew just because he is charedi and lives in betar. this is not the time and the place for posting jewhating posts.
48. These guys should be expelled from Israel.
Efroim ,   Washington DC   (12.15.08)
Next time they come back from Iran or elsewhere, simply refuse them entry. Also, people here should use spellcheck before they post anything. Annoying.
49. If we can't reason with these Jews, how can we with Syria?
Vered, Israel   (12.15.08)
Any leftist will tell you that this sect of nutbags is so far gone, there is no reasoning with them - they only listen to their rebbe (or insert preferred halachic authority here). But then, they'll go right on and tell us that there is a such thing as rational talk with our sworn enemies whose only desire is to destroy us. Why can they see it so clearly when it's us, but believe in fantasy when it's the Arabs?
50. Neturei Karta=the Fred Phelps cult of Israel
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (12.15.08)
Hey assholes, there was also a SATMAR Jew murdered in Mumbai.
51. Ynet! Why do you print this CRAP?!?
(12.15.08)
Every fringe lunatic who does the printed equivalent of wiping their arse and showing it to the public must be given press coverage??? Oh -- that's right. These Neturei Karta MORONS could somehow - (only as a technicality) - be lumped in as "Ultra-Orthodox" (not really: they are a sham and a disgrace to Judaism). Another fine leftist jab at the religious establishment.......only it reveals that your desire to be serious journalists is undermined by your obnoxious leftist-anti-religious agenda.
52. NK SPEAKS TRUTH
Frum Anti Zionist ,   nyc   (12.15.08)
They speak the truth! I even know some Lubavitchers who believe this as well. They think they have left the teachings of the 5th and 6th Rebbes who warned against Zionism. Even Rebbe Schneerson was opposed to Zionism but that isnt taught openly for fear that it would alienate the majority of Jews from making Teshuvah. But there are some who are open about this. David Wolpe is an open Chabadnik in Israel who is against the state.
53. They are a disgrace to Judaism!!!
Shlomie ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (12.15.08)
The Neturei Karta are a disgrace to Judaism and Israel i hope they all BURN IN HELL!!!!
54. Not News
Stu ,   Michigan USA   (12.15.08)
Nothing Neturae Karta says is worthy of news. They are band of wackos. They sent someone to hug "I'm a dinner jacket" over in Iran at the holocaust denial conference too. It says more of Ynet that they waste internet bandwidth, salaries and newsprint on them.
55. Almost A Jihad!
GloomBoom.com ,   Nashville, TN, USA   (12.15.08)
NK is very much like the jihadists. Hate is hate!
56. IS ANYONE WONDERING WHY Moshi-ach does't come????
Ely Greenhut ,   Tzfat Israel   (12.15.08)
57. #52 Neturei Karta
Debra   (12.15.08)
NK fails to grasp the truth, therefore ,they speak the way they do.Had they been in pursuit of truth they would have been prepared to debate their stance. They defy the biblical truth, the word of god, consequently they follow the wrong path. Zion is the symbol of Judaism!
58. Neturei Cult
Albert ,   N.Y.   (12.15.08)
How disgustfull is that neturei karta cult. These hungarian horse thieves already collborated with the nazis during WWII, and now they are kissing the Tehran monkey holocaust deniers and all the islamist terror groups. These awkards croonies are no jews but a psychotic cult. They should be outcasted everywhere in the world by real jews, and be considered for what they are: apikorsim !
59. NK have exposed their hypocrisy here.
Gilad ,   London UK   (12.15.08)
A member of Satmar (I believe it was them), from an anti-zionist family, Hasid Aryeh Leib Teitelbaum, was killed in mumbai. There was a big hooha in Israel that his family did not want any flag or assistance in the burial process. So what does this say? Maybe the punishment was for housing those trying to dismantle the state of Israel? Or maybe, after decades of justifying arab terrorism (including blaming arab massacres against Jews on 'zionists' for studying at university, which they view as heretical). If God "punished" Chabad for supporting Israel, then why punish the anti-zionist? Aha, there we see the hypocrisy. When the satmar died, it was a tragedy, when the Chabad died, it was gods punishment. Their points have absolutely no factual or common sense and stink of utter hypocrisy and stupidity. Luckily those of us who actually do our research, instead of 'dishing out' who god punished or not, know the truth. They are a hateful, hypocritical, factually incorrect, no common sense group. And thankfully they made another opportunity to show how they fit all the above.
60. Naturei Karta
Spencer ,   Israel   (12.15.08)
These people are the scum of the earth. May they all rot in hell!
