Yossi Name Edited April 19, 2023 7:32 am at 7:32 amWhile I generally try not to cause unnecessary machlokes despite YWN’s pro-Zionist bias, the YWN moderator really blew his load in this article and I am left with no choice but to respond.Ezra Friedlander is doing exactly what yidden in golus should be doing: making peace with the nations in which yidden live regardless of the views of their political representatives. This is exactly what Reb Yochanan Ben Zakai did during the Roman conquest, and is what Jews are exhorted to do by the שלוש שבועות, and was the cause celebre of the Satmar Rav זצוקללה”ה.So to the moderator’s question “Does Friedlander really think that fraternizing with such miscreants would lead to anything positive?”, the answer is a resounding YES!!And just to prove it, Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro שליט”א relates a true story of how a Muslim woman in Canada had plans to become a suicide bomber and kill Jews ח”ו, but when she saw the Neturei Karta and realized that not all Jews are Zionists ב”ה, she recanted.So the only “reckless” ones here are the sinners who are being מתגרה באומות and who are so poisoned by Zionist heresy that they think they are doing a mitzvah by pouncing on Ezra Friedlander and provoking the gentiles ר”ל. At least I can declare: Baruch Hashem that I am a follower of Neturei Karta!!ah yid April 19, 2023 7:40 am at 7:40 amWhy in the world is this reckless? These people, agree with them or not, have positions of power. Not only are they here now there are many who hold their positions and beliefs who are getting elected across the country. Yes 100% we need askanim to reach out to these politicians to at least find some common ground, and to support us in other areas where we do agree. I would think that if we keep calling them jew haters and anti semites (which they are) they won’t support us when we need their vote.Moshe38 April 19, 2023 7:55 am at 7:55 amTotally not shocked, I have seen many of this kind of garbage from many of our so called Askanim. Not to mention by name but if a big Rebbe is allowed to denounce whoever opposed voting for Hochul just for the fact that he got a promise to have $100 million debt erased who undoubtedly everyone knows that Hochul isn’t someone who loves Judaism but pretends to denounce antisemitism why shouldn’t Ezra be able to to the same? Did YWN denounce that Rebbe?! The Moral of the story, if our Rebbes are unfortunately behaving in not a Torahdig way how do we expect others to behave?!?Ferd April 19, 2023 8:20 am at 8:20 amYossi Name Edited – The biggest מתגרה באומות in the world are Satmar. What a joke your entire comment is. The entire Kiryas Yoel is one big fat מתגרה באומות.And Ezra is a self-hating Jew.YOSSIES April 19, 2023 8:24 am at 8:24 amto yossie the neturei karta guyyou as well as your esteemed rav shapiroare welcome to move to any muslim country you desireyour shita is oudatedand there is no moreh haraoh in the world today that backs the actions of todays neturei kartayou guys are rodfim and rotzchimand your rav shapiro is out of his mind
He always sold himself to the highest bidder. He's not an askan.Next.
He's not an askan.
I sometimes wonder about these self proclaimed askanim. like who asked you? who do you represent? you can't decide you represent people that actually despise what you are doing
Any similarities ??
Ezra Friedlander being Ezra Friedlander and YWN being YWN
FTFY.
