Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss, spokesman of Neturei Karta International, issued the following statement on the eve of the arrival of the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
"It has been our honor and privilege to meet with President Ahmadinejad, as well as other Iranian leaders, several times in the past. In addition we have had the pleasure of visiting Iran on different occasions. At each encounter with the Iranian leadership, we have emphasized to them that, despite media hysteria and the statements of some misinformed Jews, we have found the Iranian people and their leaders to be friendly and respectful."
"Likewise, although we as Jews are not to be involved in politics, (according to Jewish law, Jewish people are required to be loyal citizens to the countries wherein they reside), we have found the Iranian President to be a deeply religious man, dedicated to a peaceful world, based on mutual respect, fairness and dialogue." "Judaism seeks peace. Unfortunately, there are some Jews today, influenced by the barely century old, philosophy of Zionism, who feel that the proper Jewish response to enemies, be they real or fantasized, is aggression and calls for violence and unfortunately attempts to drag other nations down the path of war."

The video “Farewell Israel” does explain that Islam will tolerate Jews and other infidels as long as they assume a “dhimmi” or slave status. Apparently this rabbi would rather be a second class citizen than to stand up and be a free and thinking member of society.

Rabbi Ysroel Dovid Weiss got his sense and finger at the “spot.”
Nothing to fear, nothing to worry about, Ahmadinejad is a honorable man.
Rest in peace.

THIS IS A JEWISH GROUP THAT IS NOT CONSIDERED TO BE ANYTHING BUT A GROUP OF NUTS! I can say that as i'm Jewish. Go to their web page or to the Wiki page and you will see they represent a fringe. They are Anti-Israel! I call them nuts. Neturei Karta From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Neturei Karta synagogue and study hall in JerusalemNeturei Karta (Aramaic: נטורי קרתא, "Guardians of the City"), also self-identifying by the English name Jews United Against Zionism, is a Haredi Jewish group formally created in 1935, that opposes Zionism and calls for a dismantling of the State of Israel, in the belief that Jews are forbidden to have their own state until the coming of the Messiah.[1] [2] They are mostly concentrated in Jerusalem, but also in and around Ramat Beit Shemesh Bet (or B) near Jerusalem, and Bnei Brak. Most others associated with Neturei Karta can be found in London, New York City, and other parts of New York, with smaller communities in various cities around North America.

Neturei Karta International consists of Rabbi Weiss and a couple hundred other idjits who take their anti-Zionism to the absurd extreme of actively seeking the destruction of the State of Israel. With all her flaws (and there are many), Israel still happens to be the haven of 6 million Jews, a number which has obvious historical significance. Neturei Karta apparently has no problem with a second holocaust. There are many Jews, myself included, who have particular complaints that the secular nature of the government is a major affront to G-d and destructive to the spiritual mission of the Jewish people. Having said that, no one, outside this small band of meshuganas, feels justified to endanger the life of even one person because of these differences. They are nuts.

"..we have found the Iranian President to be a deeply religious man, dedicated to a peaceful world, based on mutual respect, fairness and dialogue." This is beyond the description of regular delusional madness.

Rabbi Weiss was caught being funded by the PLO and by Iran. He is not a Rabbi, but a whore.

Muslims love these guys. “Real Jews,” they call them. It is becoming more & more common that whenever Muslims are talking about the evil of the Jews, someone will say “but it’s wrong to hate Neturei Karta” & an argument will start over whether all Jews are evil or just most of them.
So here’s what you can do. While making sure that they never get into any position to influence Jewish opinion, Neturei Karta should have silent approval & even quiet encouragement to go to these radical Muslim & holocaust denial events. It spreads discord & confusion among Muslims in the long run.
& if Iran wants to foot the bill for it, even better.
