61. Incorrect.

Why does this article refer to Weiss as though he is Satmar? He is Neturei Karta - there is a difference. The Satmarer Rebbe shlite is visiting Eretz Yisroel because of his einekel's chasune, and to distribute funds to the mosdos who do not accept funding from the Israeli government. The leaders of Eidah HaChareidis asked him to come earlier to join a protest on voting [to which he accepted], but nothing about distributing money. There is no need to scapegoat the Rebbe shlite in case there is a poor Chareidi turn out at the elections, and there is certainly no need to deceive your readers [by making it appear as though Weiss is Satmar - just because both are anti-Zionist and both wear shtreimelech, it doesn't mean they are one and the same].
