31. I disagree whith what u say, but i will defend your right to
johnb ,   radlett UK   (04.21.09)
I disagree whith what u say, but i will defend your right to say it OR to walk whilst I am stanging [as llong as it is non violent] In a democracy the RIGHT to offend should be guaranteed
32. Nothing New Under the Sun
Not New ,   USA NY   (04.21.09)
These are the teachings of many Rabbis since the inception of the state. Everyone loves Chabad but read what the Lubavitcher Rebbe said or read what Rabbi Avigdor Miller said about the state. In his book Rejoice O Youth he states "the Kosel is better off in the hands of the Muslims due to their modesty more than the Jews who defile the holy place with their Jewish immodesty". So what NK says is only new to the secular and moderately religious Jews who never studied mainstream charedi teachings...
33. What did they say false?
Chaim ,   New York City, USA   (04.21.09)
Other then meeting with the Iranians which I strongly disagree with I would like someone who is a frum yid to explain to me what they said which was wrong... NO I do not care what a secular or a goy thinks... I am looking for any frum yid to explain where they are incorrect. We have a holocaust remembrance day and it is called TishaBav and even the NK honor that day for their relatives who died in the shoah. So just because they are opposed to the state doesnt mean they are dishonoring the dead!!!
34. Neturei Karta protest
simon ,   London   (04.21.09)
These people are not real G-D fearing Jews. If they were they would not speak at Anti-Israeli meetings on Shabbat in the UK. They think by asking a non jew to repeat there words through a microphone for them thye are not desecrating shabbat.
35. This is a mainstream Haredi position
Aharon   (04.21.09)
I find it funny that you are all slamming the Neturei Karta. What have they said that so offends you which other Haredim don't say regularly? Have you people ever even heard of HaEdah Hachareidis? Are you aware that the Satmar Hassidim - the largest group - are vehemently anti-Zionist and largely share the positions of the Neturei Karta? This isn't unusual in the Haredi world, nor is it something new - Orthodox Jews opposed the creation of the State of Israel from the very beginning. The phenomena of mainstream religious Zionism is something completely modern which didn't exist 100 years ago. Those of you who are so fiercely attacking the NK should take a good look at the rest of the Haredim in Israel.
36. whatever you call them
Ilana   (04.21.09)
it makes no real difference. People who offend victims of the holocaust are bad. Who cares what they choose to call themselves? How dare they think a secular Jew's opinion is worth nothing? I think their opinion on this is worth less than nothing.
37. "the Zionists cynically abuse the Holocaust for their own..
Simha ,   Toronto, CANADA   (04.22.09)
purpose... YEAH AND THE NETUREIS DO THE SAME ..BUT USING THE JEWISH RELIGION INSTEAD.. SO WERE ARE THE DIFFERENCES.. JUST COSMETICS & THE UNIFORMS WOULD THEY AGREE ?
38. The Truth
Janet ,   Canada   (04.22.09)
People don't like to hear the truth. And it is the truth that will truly liberate all of us.
39. Naturei Karta
Spencer ,   Israel   (04.23.09)
Plain and simple....these bastards should be expelled from Israel! They are indeed the scum of the earth.
40. Makes me sick
Proud Secular Jew   (04.28.09)
These fools would accept another genocide if it came..."because it's God's will"...
41. WHO
Mac ,   USA   (04.28.09)
Are there men standing in the midst of that fire?
42. Neture Karta
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (05.03.09)
The Talmudic dictum on which a great number of haredim base their rejection of a Jewish state is not valid any more.During the time of the Babiylonian sages many Jewish hot heads tried to conquer the land of Israel,which ended in failure.The sages could not reason with those hot heads,that the Jews don't have a strong army, that is nedded to expel the occupiers of the land of Israel.So the sages came up with the idea that it is forbidden from the Torah to conquer the land before the comming of the Messiah,stating, the Jews took 3 oaths:Not to rebel against the nations,not to conquer the land of Israel,and not rush the redemtion.The sages based their ruling on a verse from King Solomon's song of songs;I conjure you daughters of Jerusalem by the gazelles of the field (who know a thing ot two about love) do not force love before its time,which means not to conquer the land of Israel before the comming of the messiah, but the sages left a loophole,The nations also took an oath not to press the Jews to hard,its obvious that the nations broke their vow,concerning not to press the Jews to hard,Rabbi Josef Karo rules in his kode of laws:when 2 people take a vow and one of them breaks he vow,the vow becomes null and void,so the Jews were within Jewish law when they estoblished the state of Israel.It is impossible to win arguments with fanaticos.
