1. empty garbage cans make the most noise
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (03.20.13)
here we have a handful of wacko Ultra Orthodox sickos who with their mischugas (crazy antics) can command media coverage. No one in the regards them with any respect and look upon them as the lunatic fringe. The secular news loves them since they make the seculars blood boil and they buy more newspapers. It would be wise to ignore them and let them fade into the oblivion that they deserve.
2. I also ask: are they Jewish?
ex-oleh chadash ,   Brazil   (03.20.13)
why five flaps stars instead of maguen david?
3. try green card lottery, meshiguenes
ex-oleh chadash ,   Brazil   (03.20.13)
I do too, using my Israeli passport. I want to live in America, me too, who doesn't? You are afraid of enlistment in the army...lol.
4. Sinat Hinam is alive and well
Oren   (03.20.13)
Will we ever learn from our past failures?
5. God, safe us from Neturei Karta
Susya Bar Dror ,   Israel   (03.20.13)
though they are similar to jews, they are not real jews: they hatse our country, they hate Israelis, they hate zionists. God, please, lead them to Biro Bidshan.
6. If I could spell Meshug
Tim ,   Brighton   (03.20.13)
7. Sick demented attention seekers
Jake ,   USA   (03.20.13)
8. Naturei Karta, go back to Szatmar.
Jake   (03.20.13)
You do not belong in Israel.
9. Psychos
A.T ,   Jlem   (03.20.13)
When I was in the Idf we had to train in Mea Shearim and we had full diapers and electrical appliances thrown at us. I got hit in the head by a toaster . Seriously hate them.. They contribute nothing to this country. They are parasites.
10. #8: neturei karta can't go back to satmar
david ,   new york   (03.20.13)
the satmar dont want anything to do with them. you must be careful not to lump a few hundred thousand satmar in with a few hundred meshugana neturei karta. neturei karta represents no one
11. Naturei Jarta barta.. You are a shame!!
NATAN ,   ISRAEL   (03.20.13)
12. Naturei Karta
Cheryl ,   Chicago, IL   (03.20.13)
Naturei Karta: Your kappotas are being fitted for straight jackets....
13. Funding?
ASTRONAUT ,   SC, USA   (03.20.13)
My question is: Who's funding them?
14. i guess every religion has their
Barney ,   USA   (03.21.13)
nut cases. ours are the naturei karta or whatever they call themselves. let them go to iran. quit polluting the holy land of Israel
15. Obummer save them........
Wise Saba ,   Western Negev   (03.21.13)
Obummer save these lunatics from us Zionists, take them all back to America with you. I can promise you that they will swear allegiance to you & the Dummycrat Party forever.
16. #13: Who's funding them?
howard ,   Jerusalem   (03.21.13)
they have a few wealthy supporters abroad who fund their antics. Publicizing them in the media is their oxygen. They are a bunch of attention seekers. Stop reporting what they do or don't do, and it'll stop.
17. Why are they so much worse than seculars
X-Man ,   somewhere out there   (03.21.13)
who have similar opinions. Many media personalities, politicians, professors, writers, etc. profess similar attitudes toward Israel and Zionism, albeit perhaps with a bit less flamboyance. Why this viceral reaction to what is essentially not more than a few hundred (at most, maybe even less) kooks who are chronic attention seekers?
18. No problem we can deport you to Afghanistan
Haim ,   TA   (03.21.13)
Just let us know where we can pick you up and before you know it you will be joining your brothers in Afghanistan
19. #17, X-Man: Here's why they're worse than seculars
Matthew ,   West Coast, USA   (03.21.13)
The secular anti/non-Zionist types don't claim to be representatives of authentic Judaism. Most of them are openly Marxist and anti-clerical, whereas these Neturei Karta cultist kooks trash Israel and Zionism from what they assert is a "traditional" perspective. In their own words, they are perpetuating "millennia-old original Judaism." Though this claim of theirs is so baseless and ignorant that it's laughable, many Gentiles, especially of the anti-Semitic variety, looks at these kooks' clothing and think of them as authentic, religious Jews that have something to say.
20. Small in numbers, they always show up when ...
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (03.21.13)
For a group with just a few hundred affiliated, they certainly are a visible, if miserable, presence. In my multi-ethnic neighborhood, the only time they show up is when there's a pro-Palestinian demonstration at the nearby college campus. At the recent AIPAC conference, with some 13,000 assembling, three or four Neturei Karta members held a protest down the street. Some of us recall a few NK standing vigil outside a French hospital, praying for the recovery of Yassir Arafat. Even other ultra-Orthodox Jews want nothing to do with them. When one NK returned from a holocaust-denial conference in Iran, he found his kids had been kicked out of the Jewish school. (Other parents didn't want their kids poisoned by NK kids.) In Belgium, they've turned to state courts to force Jewish schools to accept their kids - even trying to get one of their boys into a GIRLS school.)
21. They are garbage
Robert ,   Antwerp Belgium   (03.21.13)
We don't need scum like the neturei karta in the Jewish people. I would rather have them move to Iran.
22. ask Amajinejad and Narsala
of course   (03.21.13)
who is funding them?
23. thet are blood sucking -chillul hashem people
alan ash ,   nyc ny   (03.21.13)
they will neve be close to what the torah wants -----they bring curse upon us
24. Neturei Karta was on Arafat's payroll
Steve Rosen   (03.21.13)
Dovid Weiss Moshe Hirsch were on Arafat's payroll, even during Arafat's homcide bombing campaign against Israeli civilans. Just google, Neturei Karta was on Arafat's payroll Neturei Karta were also speakers at Iran's Holocaust conference in 2006. They were Wackos' If they want to live under the Arabs, their free to move to Gaza.
25. So did this take place or didn't it ?
Danny ,   London England   (03.21.13)
26. Filthy bastards, lunatics, morons, evil souls, imach shemam!
Flavio ,   Sao Paulo   (03.22.13)
27. sin'at hinam and emunah
tom ,   toronto, canada   (03.22.13)
sin'at hinam destroyed the temple. jews should not hate each other this way. and it is wrong to grovel before president obama like this - jews must pray to god, not a man. it is very troubling that the naturei karta should claim to be observant of the torah, and violate the first commandment.
28. Hamas doesn't want them, nor does the PLO
M. Davison ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (03.22.13)
Why would the Palestinians want more useless mouths to feed? Their overblown security forces, triple or more than they really need, drain their cash drawer every month with their salaries.
29. One precondition to peace talks should be
Vardina   (03.22.13)
the annexation of Meah Shearim to the state of Palestine. The are our worst enemies.
30. Bad manners too
JWest ,   USA   (03.22.13)
The term 'his Excellency' is used for ambassadors, Catholic bishops, the governors of the American states of Massachusetts and New Hampshire, viceroys, and governors-general of independent commonwealths. It is NOT used when referring to the president of the United States.
