1. Zionism is Judaism acomplishment !
trump   (02.03.14)
All Mitzvot may only be implemented in Israel Naturei karta is akin to nazism !
2. Seditious Traitors
ASTRONAUT ,   SC, USA   (02.03.14)
How has the Israeli government allowed these vermin to dwell within Israel's borders for all these years? The UNdoing of AM YISRAEL will come from these cockroaches - not from an external threat. DEPORT THEM TO IRAN!
3. Neturei Shikrah : extermination of European
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (02.03.14)
Jews,divine punishment because of Zionism,was the extermination of a million and a half Armenians by the Turks in 1915 also a punishment, because the Armenians were Zionists ?.the Jews and the Armenians shared a common problem,no country, and no Army.
4. from one nazi to another
Shmuel. L. Jackson ,   London UK   (02.03.14)
5. This is what happens when you do not get a proper education!
Gideon78 ,   Cpt South Africa   (02.03.14)
10% of Jews belong to Naturei Karta....do they realise that 10% of world Jewry would mean that the sect has over 1.4 million followers....meanwhile they only have around 1000 if that...that is 0.007. The fact that they have Holocaust survivors should show them that their ideology is flawed...if it was a punishment for Zionists then how come non-Zionists got punished...what about those who were never Zionists or Anti-Zionists? How come they were persecuted? Then again what about non-affiliated Jews who did not identify themselves as Jews??? These apikorsim, are worse than our enemies...at least our enemies say they hate us...these apikorsim are just hypocrites...because when Mashiach comes...they will become Zionists...a simple fact they turn a blind eye too...let alone misinterpreting the 3 oaths...after all it states that the oaths will not be enforced if the other nations do not abide by their oaths! Maybe their Talmud is the reform Talmud!
6. to much irony
er der   (02.03.14)
Their politics would have been ignored during the Holocaust....
7. Jewish anti-Zionists
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (02.03.14)
These Jews are absolutely on the right track. They recognize The Lord's anger at the Israelites trying to take back the land Our Lord took from their ancestors about 2,000 years ago, for all time, for reasons with which we are all familiar. These Jews deserve a commendation.
8. Au contraire!
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.03.14)
Zionism is the highest expression of Judaism -- the restoration of the Jewish people to our ancient and beloved homeland. The Neturei Karta, on the other hand, are not Jewish. Who are they to address what is and is not Judaism?
9. Neturei Karta=The Way of the Future
Darren Ben John ,   Townsville Australia   (02.03.14)
I have to agree with their philosophies. Get rid of the zionists! BDS
10. Hey,
Chaim ,   Israel   (02.03.14)
they're right. Zionism is not Judaism and was never meant to be, certainly not religious Judaism. Zionism meant living in Israel as as secular Torahless Jews whose only law they need to abide is secular law of the land as G-dless as they come.
11. Zionism DOES represent Judaism these lunatiƧ's do not.
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!! ,   United States   (02.03.14)
Such hypocrites! They live in and off the sweat of other Jews work and taxes while they deny Israel's fundamental rights. Think what other protection as Jews they would find in any Muslim nation? That's the real problem, they don't think. It takes all kinds.. just KEEP BUILDING !!!!!
12. That Is Correct, BUT:
David H ,   Marietta USA   (02.03.14)
Haredism is certainly not Judaism, by the furthest stretch of the imagination. In fact, they remind me of a crazy sect of black people in Brooklyn a number of years ago who pretended to be Jewish for a number of very self serving reasons. Or perhaps the currently quiescent "Jews for Jesus", a strange Christian fundamentalist sect that has adopted some Jewish practices and imagine themselves as Jews. No different. In the immortal words of Jesse Jackson, also a fine anti-Semite the Haredi might look up to, "they might talk the talk, but they don't walk the walk."
13. Zionism doesn't represent Judaism
Harold ,   USA   (02.03.14)
True Zionism doesn't represent Judaism. There are millions of Christians including Harry Truman are Zionists.
14. Sick to the Core !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (02.03.14)
I Quote - Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss, who said during the meeting that the "Holocaust was a divine punishment for Jews because Zionists didn't want to follow God and wanted to turn into independents." Comment - So what has Germany with the Relationsship between the Jews and God to do Further - In recent years, officials in Merkel's bureau have worked to undermine the special connection between Israel and Germany in order to free Germany from the historical responsibility for the Holocaust. Comment - This is Sick - The Devil is still living in Germany. Arn.
15. 9 Darren John.the way of the future,
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (02.03.14)
You stole Australia from the Aborigines,will you give them back their country ?.you hypocrite.
16. 13 Harold.H Truman was an Antisemite,
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (02.03.14)
probably,influenced by his Antisemitic wife Truman agreed to the establishment of Israel,for political reasons, a Jewish historian working with Truman on a book about his days as president,was kept out waiting in the cold in front of Truman's house,when the man asked Truman why didn't you invite me in to your house in this weather ?.Truman responded : this is not the white house, that i have to let in Jews.
17. Who's the new Messiah?

23. NK are not Jews.

24. Neturei Karta vs. Judaism
Jake   (02.03.14)
Judaism rejects "anti-Zionism". As opposed to what these heretics espouse, the Jewish point of view regarding the Land of Israel was summarized by the great Ramban (Nachmanides): "[The sages] made many other such emphatic statements regarding this positive commandment that we are commanded to possess the Land and settle it. It is therefore an eternal positive command, obligating every single individual even during the time of Exile as is known from the Talmud in many places."
25. Harold, #13, You got it wrong.
Jake   (02.03.14)
Not every Zionist is a Jew, but true Zionism is an inseparable part of true Judaism. Remember, Zion is Jerusalem, and the yearning for it is grounded in Biblical text. Psalm 137: "By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. Upon the willows in the midst thereof we hanged up our harps. For there they that led us captive asked of us words of song, and our tormentors asked of us mirth: 'Sing us one of the songs of Zion.' How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a foreign land? If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I remember thee not; if I set not Jerusalem above my chiefest joy."
26. Chaim, #10, proto-Zionism was voiced by religious Jews
Jake   (02.03.14)
decades before secular Zionism and Herzl. Rabbi Zvi Hirsch Kalischer and Rabbi Judah Alkalai were Orthodox Jewish rabbis who espoused ideas that are clearly Zionist and influenced Herzl and early secular Zionist leaders. Petach Tikvah, the "Mother of the Moshavot", was founded in 1878 by religious proto-Zionists. By the way, I do NOT derive my Zionism from Herzl, but from the Torah, the Sages, and the Rabbis, in particular the Ramban, who summarized it perfectly: " [The sages] made many other such emphatic statements regarding this positive commandment that we are commanded to possess the Land and settle it. It is therefore an eternal positive command, obligating every single individual even during the time of Exile as is known from the Talmud in many places."
27. They represent the truth.
(02.03.14)
28. Please ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.03.14)
... do not confuse members of the Neturei Karta and Satmar cults with Jews.
29. Who's the new Messiah?
Nali ,   Gainesville, FL   (02.03.14)
Tim Tebow of course.
30. shame on Chancellor Merkel
CJK   (02.03.14)
shame on chancellor merkel for letting her people consort with known lunatics who want to destroy the jewish state of israel. this tiny cult is an implacable enemy of the jewish state and of jews in general. their views do not accord with any stream of judaism, including the orthodox. they are absolute fanatics who represent only themselves and who are not accepted by any other branches of judaism.
