A demonstration against nationalizing Holocaust Remembrance Day was held in Jerusalem on Thursday by ultra-Orthodox group Neturei Karta. Israel Meir Hirsch, son of Moshe Hirsch, who served as an honorary member of deceased Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat’s cabinet for Jewish Affairs, participated in the event.
According to Hirsch, the demonstration was aimed at "showing that Zionism is the Jewish nation’s true Holocaust. The Jewish nation endured many massacres and murders throughout its 2000 year exile, and the Holocaust, a God-given decree, was of the body and not of the soul,” said Hirsch.
“We can’t comprehend god-given decrees, it is not our business. However, it is clear that the real Holocaust is that Zionism took a nation and assimilated it to the gentile nations in the State of Israel,” he added.
When asked if he views the demonstration as offensive, he said, “this is a sensitive subject to the Israelis, not due to the Holocaust, but because the facts prove and speak for themselves these days.
"Zionists used the Holocaust in order to attain reparations, the Holocaust doesn’t interest them. They use the topic of the Holocaust cynically by exploiting it as a tool with which to establish a country and receive money, but nothing more than that.”
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
One should expect the Neturei Karta then to live elsewhere such as Iran, for example, which would seem glad to have them to otherwise infect Jews living there. Or, they should kill themselves, which would seem their highest form of worship.
don’t make a fuss, you’ll only encourage them
Granted that's not what these people are saying!
Aw jeeze, not these characters.....AGAIN! If they’re so dag blasted unhappy about Israel, let them go live somewhere they’d be happy, like Iran, Sudan, or Libya. I’m sure King Whoever in Fraudi Arabia would welcome them with open arms!
Sheesh! Shoot, I’m more Jewish than these characters and I’m about as Jewish as Chesapeake Bay crab cakes and country ham!
