Anti-Zionist Haredi Terror Victim’s Family Rips Up Letters Of Condolence From Top Government Officials
Shmarya Rosenberg • FailedMessiah.com
Israel’s new president, Reuven (Ruby) Rivlin, sent a message of condolence to the family of Rabbi Avrohom Wallis, the young haredi father-of-six who was killed in a Jerusalem terror attack earlier this week, the haredi news website Behadrei Haredim reported. But the family was not happy to receive it.
Rivlin – whose family were prominent pioneers in the city’s Old Yishuv (pre-state community) – sent the letter through a Sefardi haredi Shas Party member to Wallis’ father’s home in the old Jerusalem neighborhood of Mea Shearim.
A source close to the stridently anti-Zionist Wallis family said Rivlin’s note and all other similar notes from Israeli government officials were immediately shredded and thrown away in the trash.
“We repeat - all [condolence] letters from the authorities that come to the family home are sent straight to the shredder,” the source told Behadrei Haredim, adding that the stridently anti-Zionist Wallis family will not take terror victim payments from the government because they are Toldos Aharon hasidim who do not recognize the state of Israel. Toldos Aharon is one of the haredi groups which make up the vehemently anti-Zionist Edah Haredit haredi umbrella organization.
Rabbi Avrohom Wallis was run over by a large piece of construction equipment driven by an Arab terrorist who used it to overturn a passenger bus. The driver of the bus, which thankfully was empty, was serious injured in the attack. Police shot and killed the terrorist.
Wallis was at the construction site near the border with East Jerusalem because he was working as an inspector for the Asra Kadisha, the haredi graves protection organization closely linked to Edah Haredit. Asra Kadisha was exposed in the Israeli media last year as extortionists who use violence and death threats to force developers, archaeologists and builders to pay it money and provide no-work jobs as site ‘inspectors’ for its members. Wallis was a sometime substitute inspector for Asra Kadisha.
Wallis’s father-in-law, who gave a viciously anti-Zionsit speech at Wallis’ funeral, is a kosher food supervisor for Badatz Yerushalyim, the kosher food supervision arm of the vehemently anti-Zionist Edah Haredit. He also frequently serves as a hazzan (cantor) on Lag Ba’Omer at the main Satmar hasidic synagogues in Williamsburg.
And why the hell should they accept a "condolence letter" from the assholes who concocted this little war?! I'd demand Netanyahu's head on a pike, not a shitty little letter.

The only good thing i can say about this family of delusional ingrates is that they at least have enough integrity to refuse the victim payments.

Wallis got "punished" for living among Zionists.
Maybe Hashem was sending a message. Palestinians consider all Jewish residents the enemy.

This post below refers to Avrohom Wallas as having worked at his uncles tzitsis factory

This old post by Smarya shows that this uncle is none other than the father of convicted baby killer, Yisroel Asher Wallis, on whose behalf the Eida Haredis shamefully and sinfully organised riots

Grammar Police, can you not see that Avrohom Wallis' death is divine punishment on the Wallis family as well as the Eda community as a whole? The Israeli government should not be offering the Wallis family any compensation as a terror victim because the war was just coincidental to this Act of God.

Publicly denouncing the government and boasting that you're tearing up their condolence letters? Just try that in Gaza City or Damascus, Mr. Anti-Zionist. I dare you.

I am shocked and sickened by the fact that this eyrliche mishpoocha actually has a paper shredder. This technology, invented by the goyim and Zionists can lead to eating treif food which has the Zionist hechsher as brought down many times by Yeshyahu Ha'Nuvi (well... all these idiot hareidi "gedolim" like Steinman make up stuff about what's in the Bible, so why not me?)....

Perhaps a neutral Haredi, Perhaps Rav Wosner or Rav Kanevski or Rav Karelitz, can send a reprsantitive to speak with them.
It is a profound, sudden tragedy of imeasurable proportion.
May They Be Comfotrted amo
amongst the mourners of Tzion and Jerusalem

Their anti-Zionism has become their avodah zarah. All incidents and people are defined by it. Wallis was a product and victim of his upbringing.!

Bas Melech,
Their ringleader, Joel Teitlebaum fixated on this somewhat insignificant line in the Talmud Kesubos and made it the basis of his entire theology. His followers unfortunately are just as disturbed. Whether or not Zionism is good or bad should not be the basis of one's relationship with God or Torah.
