Satmar Rebbe Meets With Muslim Billionaires Over Satmar Anti-Israel Newspaper Ad Campaign

“Our opposition to Israel is not due to political considerations, but [instead is based on] a biblical prohibition [not] to found a Jewish State in the land of Israel before the redemption. The State of Israel is a big contradiction to the Jewish religion and to our real hopes. So, even if the day comes and the Israelis sign a peace agreement with the Arab world, our opposition to Israel will stand.”

Two billionaire brothers from the powerful Hani-Al-Kassab family in the United Arab Emirates reportedly came to the US recently to pursue joint investments with haredim here.

The brothers, who reportedly own giant companies in Dubai and oil fields in the Emirates, saw Satmar’s hate-filled newspaper ads against Zionism, the State of Israel and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and wanted to learn more about Satmar’s opposition to Zionism and the State of Israel, Yeshiva World reported based on a report in the Hebrew language haredi news website Behadrei Haredim.

A Jewish partner of the brothers reached out to Rabbi Chaim Tzvi Teitelbaum, a grandson of the Kiryas Joel Satmar Rebbe Rabbi Aharon Teitelbaum, to arrange a meeting between the brothers and the rebbe – a meeting which the rebbe agreed to, claiming it would sanctify the name of God.

“Why are you against the state of Israel?” the brothers asked when the unlikely meeting took place.

“The Zionists do not speak on behalf of the nation of Israel and are not their representatives. We did not recognize them as a Jewish state, and as a direct result, we do not even visit the Western Wall (Kotel) – the holiest place for the Jewish people – or the rest of Israel’s occupied land. We have no connection to the State of Israel and we would never offer a helping hand to support the government.”

When asked about his relationship with the Sefardi haredi Shas Party in Israel, Teitelbaum attacked them – and Agudath Israel.

“Just the opposite. We fight against them and Agudath Israel because we have no part in anything designed to establish the Zionist state and its government. It does not matter if the state is led by a religious or secular leader. The problem is the State known as Israel,” Teitelbaum reportedly said.

“Does this mean Satmar sides with the Arabs?” the brothers asked.

“Our opposition to Israel is not due to political considerations, but [instead is based on] a biblical prohibition [not] to found a Jewish State in the land of Israel before the redemption. The State of Israel is a big contradiction to the Jewish religion and to our real hopes. So, even if the day comes and the Israelis sign a peace agreement with the Arab world, our opposition to Israel will stand,” the Satmar Rebbe reportedly answered.

what can we expect of theese satmerer mutants they beat each other up the 2 brothers followers they are against anything and everything since they crave for attention all their lifes they must create instability and stupidity to feed their insatiable appetite for discord.

[Frum but normal]

No one takes this criminally insane jew hating gangster seriously,this piece of human garbage is a rebbe like the pope in the vatican is a rebbe,this filth has been fighting his own brother in secular court for the last 12 years,
When his late father the previous satmar rebbe nominated his other son to be rebbe in Wiliamsburg,this gangster had the audacity to petition the court to come and determine that his 91 year old father is senile and therefore the court shoud void his decision.
Any jew telling our enemies that Israel does not belong to the jews but belongs to them,is nothing but a filthy swine,i have no doubt that if this swine would have lived 70 years ago in Europe he would have been the chief Kapo in Auschwitz

[Alter Kocker]

Ahron Teitelbaum and Satmar are traitors to world Judaism. May his name be blotted out.

[jancsibacsi]

Frum but normal--Kol hakavod to you, now we agree on this matter whole heartedly.

Dubai is now the top destination for dirty money maintaining both banking secrecy with little anti money laundering regulation.

Satmar is no less thieving or corrupt than some African tyrant or Russian prostitution racketeer. European banks are now buckling into pressure from their own goverments to clean their acts. The UAE as an authoritarian family business can withstand such pressure.

The idea that some UAE aristocat would come over for a chat with the Teitelbaum brothers for any other reason but to aid their stealing from the American working poor is naive.

[RWisler]

The roots of this filth go back to Joel Teitlebaum. He was fixated to the point of obseession with the three oaths. This was a severely psychotic sub-human who duped his uneducated followers into believing this shit.

[Bas Melech]

Satmar has a right to their opinions. BUT they have no right to enlist and assist non Jews in their opposition to Zionism. Even if Israel were not an issue, these Satmar would be against other Jews who disagreed with them. The violently expect other Jews to observe their interpretation of modesty, kashrus laws and education.

One day their allies will vent their anger on the Jews closest to them--Satmar and NK.
To non Jews, no difference exists between Satmar and secular Jews. A Jew is a Jew.

[Lawrence M. Reisman]

While you can blame "Joel Teitelbaum" for the fixation, this goes far beyond anything he would do. During the 18 years that Jordan occupied the Old City, he refused invitations to visit the Kosel and avoided contact with Arab dignitaries. He did have his limits.

[Feminista]

Does this mean we can ship all of the Satmars to Dubai?

[jancsibacsi]

Lawrence M. Reisman--In other words you mean they made or making a deal with the devil,if it suits their interest.

[(The other) Eli]

Biblical prohibition, lol. This is why you can't take hassidim seriously on any religious matters

[Sarek]

Jews who hate Israel and Moslems who hate Israel. A match made in heaven (so to speak).

[R Nash]

Jews who hate Jews and Muslims who hate Jews. A match made in Berlin.

Biblical prohibition? If the state of Israel purported to create decide Jewish Law and pass it out to the outlying areas, then you could argue that case with some modicum of a basis. However, currently, Israel is merely a refuge for people who are born Jewish, and it is no different than Brooklyn or anywhere else. The main difference is that Jewish people have the right to be autonomous from non-Jewish rulers. Thus, it is merely a state where most of the people are Jewish, not a Jewish state.

Ironically, those very reasons have been behind the almost psychotic opposition to Israel by haredim. And those very reasons belie the argument that Israel the type of place that might be forbidden in Jewish law. As it happens, Israel is merely a safer place of for Jews. Methinks, that is what they object to most. Safer Jews means less perceived urgent need to be led. They HATE Jews who do not want to be led by them. So do Muslims. In there hatred of Jews, they agree 100%.

[Yochanan Lavie]

Fuck Satmar.

"...One day their allies will vent their anger on the Jews closest to them--Satmar and NK. To non Jews, no difference exists between Satmar and secular Jews. A Jew is a Jew...."

Absolutely, and won't these self-righteous a--holes be surprised. You swim with sharks you need to expect to be bitten and Hasidim are so convinced of their exceptional status that they expect nothing ever to happen to them.

As for Israel being safer for Jews, that's relative. Safer than some places definitely. Safest of all - no. Not by a long shot and not the freest either. Better than being in Turkey - sure. Safer than the US or Canada or the UK or Australia - I don't believe so.

[Yosef ben Matitya]

not really kapo nor Auschwitz, and not because satmer is nicer than the kapo's y'sh, but rather, the iribs, are not as bad as the Nazis, y'sh.

as to Feminista's question if we can ship Satmar to Dubai, I am not sure, as it is them who are enamoured with the Iribs, are the iribs equally fond of them? I vonder vhy should they be? Vat do they bring to the chassaneh? their looks? their shtreimels?

[Hashtin_al_Hakir]

Satmar embrace of Arab hatred to Israel is like Jews supporting Evangelical love of Israel. Both won't end well.
