“Regarding the prohibition of ascending the Temple Mount, which all Jews who fear G-d know demands the punishment of kares [excision; destruction of a person’s soul], it has unfortunately become easy for people to take it lightly because of false beliefs [i.e., Zionist Orthodoxy]. Who knows how many victims were killed by observant Jews going up to the Temple Mount, and who knows what it will cost us, G-d have mercy, as a result of them."

Satmar Rebbe Blames Jews, Not Terrorists, For Gruesome Israel Synagogue Murders

One of the two Satmar Rebbes blamed Jews who visit the Temple Mount – not Arab terrorists – for yesterday’s gruesome terror attack at a Jerusalem haredi synagogue, Arutz Sheva reported.
“Regarding the prohibition of ascending the Temple Mount, which all Jews who fear G-d know demands the punishment of kares [excision; destruction of a person’s soul], it has unfortunately become easy for people to take it lightly because of false beliefs [i.e., Zionist Orthodoxy]. Who knows how many victims were killed by observant Jews going up to the Temple Mount, and who knows what it will cost us, G-d have mercy, as a result of them,” Rabbi Teitelbaum reportedly said. It is unclear which of the two vehemently anti-Zionist Satmar Rebbes, the brothers Zalman and Aharon Teitelbaum, this is, but it is likely Aharon Teitelbaum, the Kiryas Joel Satmar Rebbe.
Teitelbaum also called on Jews to pray and study the Torah, and “to teach the books of our holy Satmar teachers, to memorize the pure view [those Satmar teachers, Satmar’s previous rebbes] in times like these.”
Aharon Teitelbaum previously blamed the abduction and murder of three Israeli teens who were hitchhiking alone at night in the West Bank on the boys' parents for being "settlers" who live in the West Bank and on the “evil inclination and the [evil] desire for Jews to inhabit the entire State of Israel [before the coming of the messiah].”
He also equated a young teen victim of child sex abuse at the hands of one his father's former aides with a prostitute and lamented the evil she was bringing on the Satmar community by going to police and testifying against the aide, Nechemya Weberman, who abused her on a near-weekly basis from the time she was 12-years-old until she was 16.
