1. This is a religious forum. I request that our members please not post polls or messages that are sexually suggestive.
2. We have members with all types of opinions. Members can disagree and even debate. But nothing is gained by raising subjects that cause personal conflict on the forum. Please remember that our objective is to build a mass movement. That cannot happen if we engage in futile personal conflicts.
3. The Satmar are fanatically anti-Israel. The Satmar Rebbe wrote that Satan created the State of Israel. He wrote that there cannot be a Jewish state until the Messiah comes.
4. During the holocaust, the Satmar Rebbe was one of the Jewish leaders in Hungary who made a deal with Rudolph Kastner and the Judenrat. The Satmar Rebbe saved himself and his family by boarding Kastner's notorious train out of Hungary while leaving all of his Satmar followers behind. The German Nazis yimach shmam vezichram told the Jewish leaders that they could save themselves if they would cooperate in convincing 750,000 Hungarian Jews to willingly go to the Nazi death camps. Germany was losing the war badly, and had only 5,000 soldiers left in Hungary. The 5,000 German soldiers could never have forced 750,000 Jews to go to the death camps. The only way to get the Jews to cooperate was if Jewish leaders convinced them. Kastner and the Judenrat had Jews in the death camps write post cards to Hungarian Jews telling them that the death camps are really just work camps and that nothing would happen to them if they would just cooperate and board the cattle cars to Auschwitz. Hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews were murdered because of this. The Satmar Rebbe was one of the Jewish leaders on the Kastner Judenrat train.
5. The Satmar have held huge rallies at the Israeli Consulate with thousands of their members holding signs saying, "Zionism Is Nazism" and "Zionist Israel Is Worse Than Nazi Germany". The Satmar burn Israeli flags at these evil demonstrations.
6. Naturei Karta come from the Satmar movement, although the Satmar sometimes disassociate themselves from this group. These are the "rabbis", yimach shmam vezichram shem rshaim yirkav, who went to meet with and support Ahmadinejad at his holocaust denial conference in Teheran where he promised to "wipe Israel off the face of the earth". Many, but not all, Satmar agree with Naturei Karta.
7. The Satmar do not hate all Gentiles. That simply is not true. There are no sects in Judaism who hate all Gentiles unless you consider the 3 or 4 members of the splinter "forums" to be sects. The splinter "forums" are the only Jews that I ever met who hate all Gentiles.
Now can we please put all of this behind us? We have more important things to do.
