This is possibly a version of traumatic bonding (variants include battered wife syndrome, Stockholm syndrome, hazing etc.) which describes "strong emotional ties that develop between two persons where one person intermittently harasses, beats, threatens, abuses, or intimidates the other. (from Wikipedia)".
Whilst the NK's have not been directly harassed by Iran, they do see themselves as professional vicitms therefore who else to bond with than a genocidal maniac that wants to destroy Jews, Israel and ultimately the Western world.
Posted by: David | September 27, 2012 at 10:30 PM
When are we going to accept the fact that these are not Jews as we know it. They may dress as Jews but they are not.
To try to link them up with Haredim is disingenuous and insulting.

I think there is some merit in the fact that they meet with him. At least they can have some influence that he shoudnt harm the leftover Jews in iRan. What do you think?
Posted by: SS | September 28, 2012 at 12:05 AM
This is a sick union. I understand that they don't think Jews should have their own state because the Messiah won't come, etc. They can believe what ever they like, but for these Jewish men to meet and hug the monster who wants to get rid of Israel must be some kind of sin. Do they really think Iran will be peaceful against Israel? Scary, very scary!

Stop harassing Neturei Karta! All these claims about Ahmadinejad are OUTRIGHT LIES AND NEOCON ZIONIST PROPAGANDA! So what if his rhetoric is nasty, he has not done anything at all. There is still a Jewish community in Iran, of 8,000-20,000, with REPRESENTATION IN THE MAJLIS (PARLIAMENT), 25 synagogues in Teheran, kosher food, a mikva, Jewish schools, etc. Why would the Iranian government give representation in parliament to a group being targeted for genocide? Also, Ahmadinejad never said he would "wipe Israel off the map"; in the original Persian he said "This regime occupying Jerusalem will vanish from the pages of time"--expressing a desire for regime change, not genocide. Besides, Iran is a third-world country with a weak military and NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS! Also, Ahmadinejad is not the commander-in-chief of Iran's armed forces--the supreme Shiite cleric, Ali Khamenei is in charge.
Posted by: three_oaths | September 28, 2012 at 01:13 AM
Some claim that the Ahmadinejad's statement about the end of Israel was mistranslated to make it sound more violent than it really was. His "end of Israel" scenario was one of implosion, as with the former Soviet Union, not some kind of conflagration.
Since I don't speak Farsi, I have no way of knowing, but it is a point worth considering.
Posted by: JRamer | September 28, 2012 at 01:19 AM
I really wonder what the talk about. "So I would like to nuke Israel and that will get rid of Zionism, and then you guys can be in charge and we are all happy. How does that sound?"

What does it matter that they have one token representative in the majlis if the government violates their rights?

Jancsipista, no you are the one who's braindead, brainwashed and sheeplike. There is no proof Iran was behind the bombing of a Jewish Community Center in Argentina; it is unresolved, and according to independent sites like antiwar.com, the bombing was carried out by right-wing Argentinian fascist types. The bombing in Lebanon in 1983 was likely carried out by Hezbollah in response to U.S. interference in Lebanon, not Iran. Al-Qaida is a SUNNI group, not Shiite, and would view Shiites as heretics. And, as great Libertarian thinkers like Murray Rothbard and Justin Raimondo have pointed out, just because a state is repressive against its own people does not mean it would be aggressive abroad. Speaking of foreign aggression, Persia/Iran has not invaded any of its neigbors for more than 2,500 years (save for the Russo-Persian wars in the 19th century which Imperial Russia started in order to grab land along the Caspian sea, such as Azerbaijan).

Although in practice Chabad is duplicitous, fawning over Israeli politicians (as they do with all possessing fame, money or power) it is known that Yoel Kahn (a high-ranking member of the late Schneerson's propaganda team) in debate with Satmar Hasids proudly demonstrated that Chabad theology is even more extreme than Teitelbaum's "Shita" which spawned Neturei Karta.
Posted by: Fleishike Kishke | September 28, 2012 at 12:26 PM
A secular zionist is a mix of a fascist and a nazi, some religious suck their blood. a truly Jew wishes that all zionists leave the holy Israel and go to Uganda or Patagonia were they wanted to originally build their "state" a truly Jew hates Zionism and them, rather seve the Ayatollah's army.
And I dont recognize Israel my passport is a Palestinian one.
Posted by: Fabian | September 28, 2012 at 01:07 PM
Jancsibacsi, enough with these personal attacks! You are not responding to my arguments; instead you falsely accuse me of not being able to add 1+1 and of being ignorant. STOP PROJECTING YOUR OWN BAD SPELLING, POOR GRAMMAR AND YOUR IGNORANCE ONTO ME! Your charges against me are flagrantly false, since I have a B.A. in History from Rutgers, I respond with logical arguments and REAL EVIDENCE, and point out real scholarly, credible sources like www.antiwar.com and Murray Rothbard. It is unthinking Neocons like you who drink the War Party's koolade, who have no concern for the lives of innocent Persians who are suffering under brutal sanctions and who would be killed in any war against Iran. It is braindead, half-literate fools like you who are closed-minded and mad over the rainbow.

three_oaths--What youre really good at is taking others for fools you really think that youre smarter then others, who know without a doubdt that iran is behind the argentine terrorist bombing and iranianns of the hightest positions were indicted you are some piece of work,you are a very disturbed person better them dead then 10 s of thousands of israelis the iranian leaders are identical to hitlers natzis dont forget that.

STOP LYING AND MAKING UP UNSUBSTANTIATED CLAIMS JANCSIBACSI! Read the article in www.antiwar.com and you'll see that accusations of Iranian invovlvement in the bombing in Buenos Aires do not equal actual proof, that everyone is innocent until proven guilty, and that right-wing fascist Argentinians were responsible for the bombing. STOP INSINUATING ABOUT DEAD ISRAELIS, BECAUSE IRAN HAS NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS WHILE ISRAEL HAS 200+, AND THE IRANIAN GOVERNMENT WOULD NEVER MAKE A FIRST STRIKE BECAUSE OF ISRAELI RETALIATION. The Iranian regime has been described by key people, such as Chair of Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey as rational people, and they are rational, with trade relationships with Turkey, India and other neighbors, as well as the fact that Iran has not invaded anyone since the fall of the pre-Islamic Persian empire. Their leadership is not Nazi-like because the Jewish community has representation in Parliament and a DEGREE of religious freedom, things unimaginable under the Nazis. Besides, where are the concentration camps or the Hitlerian military conquests?
Posted by: three_oaths | September 30, 2012 at 02:25 AM
Three oaths, firstly antiwar.com is not a credible source for anything. Secondly Murray Rothbard and his Austrian school are rejected by over 99% of economists for being unscientific and not using REAL EVIDENCE. It is because Rothbard refused to let science get in the way of ideology that you are attracted to him just as William Handler attacks 'scientism' when it gets in the way of MbP.
Although I cannot claim to have a great knowledge of Persian history, I seem to remember that Persia fought wars with the Ottoman Empire and captured Baghdad a few times. Persia also invaded India numerous times.
Your handle 'three oaths' shows you exhibiting classic cognitive dissonance behavior and projection. An oath is extracted from someone to make him do something that he would rather not do. The reason the mythical three oaths were required was that ghettoism is a dangerous tactic from a Darwinian point of view and to take that on, divine protection was promised. Of course when the inevitable destruction resulted from ghettoism, instead of admitting that ghettoism gives not protection but rather the oppostite, it is claimed that insufficient ghettoism was the cause.
You remind me of Hitler's testament. When the inevitable result of his ideology led to the destruction of Germany, he put the blame on the German people for not following his ideology sufficiently when in fact it was their following of his ideology in the first place which put them in the mess they found themselves in.
Your cognitive dissonant behaviour arises because you fully understand that HAREIDI GHETTOISM WAS THE NECESSARY AND SUFFICIENT CAUSE OF THE HOLOCAUST but cannot cope with that painful truth. The NK website serves a very useful purposes because it identifies the rabbis and the ideology without whom the Holocaust would not have happened. It is as important to know those rabbis as it is to know the names of the concentration camp commanders because they both have the blood of million of Jews on their hands. These attempts to focus blame or guilt on a few secular Zionists in British mandate Palestine is as is like blaming the American Civil War on the Greeks revolt against the Ottoman Empire!
Hareidi Ghettoism is as big a danger to Jews as Nazism was to Germans and you know the history has shown this to be so! Jews must stand up against Haredi Ghettoism in the same way as Germans must stand up against neo-Nazism if they do not want history to repeat itself
