Neturei Karta disbelieves in Jewish birthright
Rabbi Shimon Roth lives in Jerusalem’s Mea She’arim neighborhood — one of the city’s most religious neighborhoods.Straight out of the gate, the cult leader in focus delegitimizes Israel with the name "palestine", to the point he declares the city he lives in "occupied", and even delegitimizes the lady reporter based on her gender. No doubt, she was ordered to dress modestly too, even if allowed to pay a visit to the Karta kreep's house to write up the interview. Such "customs" give "conservative" a bad name. There's also, of course, Muslim societies described as "conservative", and the MSM, in sharp contrast to how they treat western conservatives, often have no issue with the position when Muslims are the ones representing it.
The conservative atmosphere is visible. Men crowd the streets in a sea of black coats and hats, and Yiddish is commonly spoken. Signs are posted asking women to dress modestly.
“We are here in occupied Jerusalem, the original capital of Palestine,” Roth explained from across a dining room table that was covered with a white lace cloth and a sheet of clear plastic, common in observant homes.
Roth only agreed to be interviewed with a male translator present. And he refused to make direct eye contact, based on a belief that he shouldn’t look at women other than his wife.
Roth is a part of Neturei Karta, a Haredi sect that takes an anti-Zionist stance — meaning the group doesn’t believe in the concept of a Jewish state of Israel. Haredim (the plural of Haredi) are extremely religious and have a very strict commitment to Jewish law and custom.Really? Then who does the name Israel belong to, anyway? Because fiends like him have lost their right to it, plain and simple, if this is how they're going to behave.
Haredi translates to "trembling," as in “trembling before God.”
Not all Haredim are anti-Zionist, and even those who are rarely show it in the same way as Neturei Karta. The group is known for demonstrating against Israel and in support of Palestine. Its members can be seen at protests carrying signs that say things like, "Judaism condemns the state of Israel and its atrocities."
Roth explained that, for him, part of living in Israel as an anti-Zionist means not voting or running for office, not taking assistance from the government and openly supporting the return of all of Israel to Palestinians.
“The Zionists say that they act on our behalf. They took the name Israel, which is not theirs to have,” Roth said. “Our goal is to express [opposition] to the Zionists' crimes.”
Zionism, the movement that advocates for a Jewish state, is almost always discussed in political terms. But it can also be fundamentally religious.What he said was verbatim to what a lot of non-Jewish antisemites have said, including Hamas and PLO, whom the Karta kreeps have lent their backing to as well, even if only indirectly. Fortunately, there is opposition to them, with the Chabad missionary movement leading the way in panning the Karta kult:
According to Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss, a spokesman for Neturei Karta in the United States, “Judaism is a covenant with God to uphold God's Torah — to be subservient to God. Zionism is a transformation to nationalism.”
Weiss is famously known for having visited Iran to speak at a conference about the Holocaust alongside then-Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinijad and former KKK leader David Duke.
Weiss does not deny the Holocaust.
He said his grandparents and several aunts and uncles died in Auschwitz. The New York Times reported that he attended the conference to say that the Holocaust is being exploited to justify the Zionist state of Israel.
But many Jews disagree, and find Neturei Karta’s efforts destructive.And if the Karta kreeps haven't arranged direct meetings with Hamas yet, it's tragically possible they will, given the chance. To think, that such a repulsive cult even lives right here in the middle of the country, which seriously, they don't deserve to be living in at all, if this is how they're going to act. If any cult needs to be dispersed and their subjects reeducated, it would be Neturei Karta. And that will doubtless be very hard to do.
“They don't just go to demonstrations — they deny [that] Jews have a right to self determination,” said Rabbi Yaacov Behrman. He’s a public relations liaison for Chabad, a Haredi group headquartered in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, in New York, and said he was speaking in his personal capacity.
“They deny Jews have a right to self govern, which is basically antisemitism,” Behrman added.
“They align themselves with Holocaust deniers. They align themselves with those that advocate for the destruction of the Jewish people. Their ideology lacks any religious or moral legitimacy.”
