Satmar Reportedly Launches All Out War Against Weberman Victim’s Family, Supporters, Media

It’s an all out dirty war.
The Daily News reports that since Rabbi Nechemya Weberman was convicted on 59 counts of sexual abuse Monday, his supporters in Satmar have told customers to boycott the victim’s parents’ businesses, pulled ads from Zev Brenner’s radio show in retaliation for interviewing Weberman’s victim’s husband and the DA, and spat on anti-child-sexual-abuse activist Rabbi Nuchem Rosenberg.
“It’s getting serious,” a source in law enforcement reportedly told the News.
It sure is – even more serious than the Daily News reported.
According to the victim’s husband Boory, after the conviction Weberman’s family threatened to have girls falsely claim that Boory sexually assaulted them when they were minors.
Rabbi Nuchem Rosenberg was attacked with bleach in Williamsburg the day after Weberman’s conviction.
One man, a hasid named Meilech Schnitzler, has been arrested in that attack, but police and the DA Charles Hynes insist the attack was not directly related to the Weberman verdict.
Rosenberg and his lawyer – Abe George, a potential candidate for Brooklyn DA – disagree. They also want Hynes to step aside and bring in another district attorney to prosecute the case. They believe Hynes won’t handle Rosenberg’s case fairly because of the years Rosenberg criticized Hynes’ inaction on and mishandling of haredi child sex abuse cases.
Even before the conviction, the victim’s family felt the sting of Satmar’s wrath.
At trial the victim testified that after she filed a criminal complaint against Weberman, her father’s business started losing clients, her nieces were kicked out of their Satmar school, and her husband’s restaurant’s kosher certificate was cancelled, forcing the restaurant to close.
After Weberman was found guilty, a text message was circulated in the Satmar community naming the victim’s mother and accusing her of “killing the Jewish Nation.”
“Please send around to at least 10 people. If you’re going to [name redacted] to make your face . . . you are a part of killing the Jewish Nation and five [Weberman] kids are home without a father,” the Daily News translation from Yiddish reads.
“The pressure — it’s unbelievable. I can’t take it anymore,” the victim’s mother told the Daily News.
The News also reports that what they identify as “sources close to the case” say that Weberman’s backers want to hire criminal defense attorney Alan Dershowitz to handle Weberman’s appeal.
Michael-
I have not heard of that group of people (and Wikipedia asserts that they don't exist). But Wikipedia has never really run across the URJ/ NFTY camps or a Reform Jewish rabbi. They've never heard a guitar strumming at a Shabbat service (that's Shabbos, but it's pronounced the way I learned it. A movement that started among us Ashkenazim somehow picked up the Sephardic pronunciation), or the Israeli dances that occurred afterwards (so much fun). They've never heard "Puff the Magic Dragon" used as part of a religious service, or "Free to Be... You and Me". They've never seen a feminist rabbi who was married to another rabbi (can you imagine that, a rabbi-rebbetzin?), who wasn't shy about her views on abortion. Perhaps there are ultra-Reform Jews, but nobody sees them because they dress like everybody else.

Shmarya I will say it for the last time,
There many Frum Jews who are in Jail due to the testimony of other frum Jews/secular Jews/non-Jews, but there is no Frum Jew that is in jail for real violent crimes due of the testimony of other frum Jews/secular Jews/non-Jews. (Except 2 murders in the last 70 years).
This comes to show that real violent crime almost does not exist.
This is true not just in KJ but in all orthodox communities that I know in NY and NJ, including the communities where they have Non-Jews as neighbor’s.
Shmraya, you were in CH for some years, did you ever hear in any bunker or under the table of a violent crime committed by CH Yiden?

I’m really not interested to convince you or David Duke, I just wanted to mention that point to all who live in the NY and NJ area, walk on the streets, shop in the stores etc., who after me pointing out that fact would agree with me.

Shmaryah,what would you call the tens of thousands of HALACHIK RULINGS in the four volumes of the SHULCHAN ARUCH,and the tens of thousands of HALACHIK rulings of the RAMBAM in his classic YAD HACHZAKA?,if that is not ultra orthodox judaism,then please explain why not.
bottom line is,orthodox judaism is simply accepting and living your life according to the HALACHIK rulings codified in the SHULCHAN ARUCH,which of course was based on thr rulings of previous codifiers of jewish law going back to the RAMBAM,and all the way back to the TALMUD.
Anyone claiming that what is called today ultra orthodox,is only 200 years old,is either criminally insane or a bold faced liar,in your case it might be both

Mike,
Crime is largely crime of opportunity.
Jews commit more white collar crime because they have the opportunity to do so and, until very recently, the penalties if caught were much lower than with violent crime.
That doesn't mean there are no violent haredi offenders – there are.
There are murderers and rapists and armed robbers.
But, you see, you're a troll – a dishonest, ill-educated, none-too-bright Satmar troll.
And as we established last week, truth isn't really important to you.
Toddle off.

Another product of the rebbe's failed educational system lays his ignorance bare for all to see.
In your tiny little ill-educated mind, the Ramabam was haredi.
That alone shows your stupidity.
There was no haredism, no ultra-Orthodoxy until about 1800 CE.
That's a fact, just as it is a fact that Moses would have no idea what the hell you or your rabbis are doing.

2 more point's, all crimes of the 2 riverly satmer groups gets reported and non of them are real crimes.
When someone does comit a real crime like the 2 murder's who did kill, everyone suports strongly the witness and wish to see harsh justice done.
The FBI agrees with me and thats enough

Shmaryah,you deleted my last post,thank you very much,you just proved to me you had no answer in justifying your ignorant statement, that orthodox judaism as we know it now, is only 200 years old
