Hello Sara.
This questions seems to get asked a lot on this forum. I think you need to take into account that this Rabbi is firstly against Israel because he believes by Jews entering Israel and creating a state before the coming of the messiach, he thinks we have broken a law in the torah.
You will find that pretty much all these jews are against what Israel is doing to its enemies. Coincidence? I think not.
I may be wrong, but i believe these jews pretty much use the '' Israel uses too much military '' as a scapegoat for what he believes in.
Who knows though.........

In most societies when people are that crazy they get put in the nut house. We have arranged room for him in the Pilgrim State Hospital and will arrange free Kosher meals under the hecksher of Ahmadinejad.

The NK are an extremely small group (about 3,000)and their anti-Israel views are very well known. They believe Jews need to wait until the arrival of the messiah before they can have a country of their own. This is nothing new, Mimi! (Good to have you back).

Every religion seems to be entitled to have its own Taliban:

The Muslims have their Taliban.

The Catholics have their Opus Dei.

And the Jews have their... What was his name again?

This guy is completely nuts. The State of Israel is a reality and not a project in the future.

The people of Israel are not French, German, Russian, Moroccan etc. Jews. They are Israeli and nothing else.

Even if this guy is against the existence of Israel, what should happen in his opinion to all these people who live in Israel with one single national identity which is Israeli if Israel didn't exist? How does he want to install his alleged status quo ante?

Yeah... I'm sure that the Mizrahi Jews from Libya (those who didn't mix with others) would get a warm welcome by Qaddafi if Israel didn't exist anymore...

My opinion about this guy is that he's completely nuts.

SATMAR AND OTHERS CONDEMN HAREIDI PLO-SYMPATHIZERS

"It is with shame, sadness and outrage that we publicly condemn the irresponsible and dangerous actions of a small group of individuals [known generally as Neturei Karta] who have taken upon themselves to endanger the interests of the Jewish Nation, and especially our brethren in Zion, by their reprehensible actions in joining the enemies of our people at the rally held last Saturday in Washington." So begins a statement issued last week by an umbrella organization of mostly-hareidi groups in condemnation of several hareidi-appearing individuals who recently demonstrated together with Arabs against Israel.

The umbrella group, comprised of Satmar, Bobov, Belz, Vizhnitz, Munkacz, Kiryas Joel, Monroe, and other communities - many of them openly and sharply critical of Zionism - termed the PLO sympathizers "evil associates of our enemies."

The statement continued:

"...their depiction in the local and international media in religious garb and prayer shawls marching arm-in-arm with Palestinian Jew-haters has besmirched the reputations of hundreds of thousands of decent Orthodox, hareidi and Hassidic Jews worldwide. Unfortunately this despicable minuscule group, who were ejected decades ago from our synagogues and communities for similar activities, do not accept or listen to the rulings of the leaders of our communities... They should under no circumstances,Heaven forbid, be associated with any recognized hareidi or Hassidi community... We hope and pray that these individuals will speedily realize the enormous damage they have caused to our communities and to the Jewish people at large with their evil undertakings, creating a major desecration of G-d's name on such a massive and unprecedented scale and repent for this terrible sin. Until that time they will continue to be unwelcome amongst Torah-observant Jews - who faithfully follow the teachings of their Rabbis - in all aspects of the private and communal lives."

Miss Sarah

I believe that the video is just to show that not all Jews support the Zionist State of Israel. I have heard of the Neturei Karta, they are devout Jews, they have studied the Torah their entire lives, and these Orthodox Rabbis have probably dedicated their life to studying Judaism and Jewish symbols and prophecies.

I respect the Neturei Karta for standing up against Zionist with the Palestinian cause. - http://nkusa.org/

"if it was on Al-Jazeera i would probably say its an antisemitic propaganda"

You would say that, but I would probably disagree with you and say that Al-Jazeera is the only channel that shows an opposition view to Israeli/American propaganda. Al-Jazeera is a moderate Arab channel that reports everything, whether it helps the Palestinian cause or the Israeli cause.

Come on now, it is not Press TV we are dealing with here. When the US attacked Iraq, they bombed the Al-Jazeera Station, know why? Because they did not want an opposition view, they did not want people and Americans to hear the other side of the story and what really is going on in Iraq, and the atrocities committed there.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyZc6Tb1X2k - Emotional speech given by Rabbi Weiss last year.

These Orthodox Rabbis against Zionism continue to be oppressed, persecuted, discriminated against, and imprisoned in Israel.

For some reason they are all from Monsey and speak yiddish. It's almost ironic. We don't know that he is a Rabbi, that's what he calls himself.

Simple Simon

Azznejas and Al_jazeera love these 3 or 4 Rabbis.
And if they like them, you should not ask what average Isaeli or supporter of Israel think about them.

he is coocoo, and it ain't for cocoa puffs.

Just a note about Rabbi Weiss and the NK belief system. First, having spoken to Rabbi Weiss's cousin, I have heard from family that he is out of his mind in general. But that's just kin talking.

Second, the NK theory is, remove the secular state and immediately, the messiah comes and establishes a religious state and all other religions are abolished as everyone either becomes jewish or dies. They keep that second part to themselves.

Their approach to the issues is a fringe (and somewhat countertextual) reading of the sources, which is why their attitude is so out of the norm.

If you ask for my opinion my dear Sarah, I believe that the great victim here is the Palestinian people.
This person is just another instrument of the Jewish propaganda, only to show the world "how democratic" the Jews are.
This person belongs to a fictional group of people that believes the same thing, only with a ...time delay.
I am sorry but, I will start believing my Jewish friends only if they understand that they are guests on a land that was never theirs.

PALESTINE WILL NEVER DIE

SARA, how do you make your avvie so long?

Shyster Jew MF (ex Jew)

I did something more drastic than this Rabbi.
I went West!
Yep! that is right! All the way !
I've finally found the truth.
Full fledged Catholic! That's what I am right now!
I feel good although I am almost certain that I won't escape the 2012 holocaust, that the scripts speak so intensively, that I am afraid.
I did a facial reconstruction, removed some extra skin and bone offa my face but the petrol-dark color of my skin always gives me away.
Anyway I keep my fingers crossed and pray for the best.
Shalom! Blessings everyone !

Let's put it this way - they go to Iran & talk about Holocaust denial, even though they lost families in the Holocaust too. Since Holocaust denial helps get rid of Israel politically.

Their religious views (2-3000 thousand out of 14 million Jews) are that extreme that they'd break commandments about not lying & how to treat others, in order to support their goals of destroying Israel because they think it will hasten the messiah.

I've seen them in rallies in person, standing next to signs that say "death to Jews."

Everyone's got their nut trees.

Note: These are NOT Orthodox Rabbis. They are ultra-ultra Orthodox - which is different. Any particular one may or may not be ordained, which should be checked.

Dude, since Palestine was the name given to Israel by the conquering Roman's, it did die, but again it lives & here's to it never dying again - & having a chance to introduce democracies & freedoms & medicine & inventions to it's Arab neighbors instead of tribal & terroritorial war.
