Anti-Zionist rabbi Moshe Hirsch dies in Jerusalem

JERUSALEM – Moshe Hirsch, an American-born anti-Zionist rabbi and close associate of the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, has died in Jerusalem, an ultra-Orthodox Jewish group said Monday. He was 86.

Hirsch was a leading figure in Neturei Karta, a tiny ultra-Orthodox sect that opposes Israel's existence as a Jewish state and has embraced its enemies. He was born in New York and attended a rabbinical academy in New Jersey.

Arafat, who died in 2004, appointed Hirsch his adviser on Jewish affairs.

The group is known for its members' 2006 trip to Iran, where they embraced the President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at a Holocaust-denying conference. It also supports Gaza's Hamas rulers and the Lebanese Hezbollah militants.

Neturei Karta are all traitors to Israel. The world is better off without him.

I’ve never understood how ultra-orthodox Jews oppose the existence of Israel as a state.

Antisemite by a different name.

Neturei Karta have been honored guests of Ahmadinejad. Among other things.

Apparently Soros was a Jew that helped herd other Jews off to concentration camps. This guy sounds like another one of those types.

God have mercy on his memory ... his soul is already wherever it was going to go and there's no changeing it.

God's mercy is for the living.


The guy's done his damage and he is done.

"I’ve never understood how ultra-orthodox Jews oppose the existence of Israel as a state." Because the government is a secular one. If it was run by the Mashiach they would be the biggest supporters. Rebbe Schneerson was in the running for Messiah but he died in 1994.

Translation from the Yiddish? Something ‘to Moshe(rabbenu)’.

He didn’t die. He wears a different hat and works for Travelocity nowdays.
