Video: Huge Kiryas Joel Protest Against Rabbi Aharon Teitelbaum
Satmar hasidim who support Rabbi Zalman Teitelbaum protested yesterday against Zalman's brother, Aharon.
This is significant because Aharon Teitelbaum is the rebbe of Kiryas Joel. His brother Zalman is the rebbe of Williamsburg. So Aharon is being challenged on his own turf.

Now I Believe What Yaffo Ruv Said 20 Years Ago: Aron Will Be Throwen Out From Kiryas Joel With Sticks... Its Not So Far..

Much Ado About Nothing.
Just chasidim having fun.
It's what happens when you don't have TV (and you're not in the beis medresh learning).
I didn't see any fighting. Everyone was smiling and having a good time.
I have no idea what that guy was on the ground waiting for the ambulance. He didn't look to be in any pain.
Bottom line: Who cares? Let 'em self-implode for all I care.

Big deal. Satmar is like 100,00 strong and this is a big terror protest?

All these zaloinim should be ashamed of themselves sending boys under bar mitzvo to a protest demonstration. It looks like the zaloini yeshivo in Queens sent their whole student body togheter with their younger brothers from Williamsburg to Kiryas Yoiel to make trouble for the rabbi of Kiryas Yoiel which he is whether or not you consider him or his brother to be satmar rebbe. Shame on you all you rabbis who allow anybody under 18 to go to protest demonstrations.

Interesting that young male penguins are different shades of blue until they reach puberty.
All the female penguins must be sitting on their nests.
These male flocks sure make a lot of noise. (And it's not even mating season yet.)

I noticed that too. If you mute your speakers it looks almost like a parade with people smiling, taking pictures, chatting on their cell phones, walking leisurely. No running, no confrontation. They definitely need more outlets when the weather turns nice. from the posters it almost looked like they were protesting unnecessary police roughness.

obviously both sides are morons, that's a given. They are inbred, poorly educated, illiterate and very sheltered.
The myth of Chasidic unity that is sold to politicians to generate the government funds they need to keep their cult breathing takes a hit every time another protest or video happens. These guys are being exposed as the clowns they are, forever, every time a new youtube video hits. I'm pretty sure you can convince any of them that in New Jersey herrings know how to talk.
None of these guys have anything to do but protest. Their protests are purposeless, inexplicable to anyone including themselves. Neither Rabbi has control or anything resembling influence over their so called flock. They are wayward, lost souls.

You realize you're probably "inbred" too for a many thousand years....

Satmar is infested with inbreeding and incest (that's the reason they have so many children with Down syndrome and other genetics diseases) , the community in large lives on welfare fraud, they get married by a rabbi but is never report it to the state and women get money as single mothers.
So you have girls with names like Suri and gitty collecting money as single mothers.
Good that they make bnos Yisroel look like hos
