What’s the original Samtar Rav’s argument against the State of Israel?
Has the concept and definition of Zionism changed over time, and what does it mean today?
How are Satmar and Neturei Karta similar, and how do they differ?
Is there a prohibition of publicly going against the consensus view of Klal Yisrael?
I would like to comment on the recent show regarding the neturei karta.
I want to clarify that I don’t align myself with NK or Satmar in any way, I consider myself an Agudist in the mehalech of Chazon Ish, R Ahron Kotler and Rav Shach
However a co worker of mine who is originally from Iran told me something interesting that made me change my perspective a bit on NK. He said that he was living in Iran during the 13 jailed Iranian in the late 90s. During that time life for the Jews in Iran became very difficult they were under a lot of scrutiny and suspicion. However after NK made their famous visit during that time, the point of which was to convince the Iranian gvmt that Jews don’t necessarily support Israel, after this visit life for the Jewish community became much better. Also possibly lightened the sentences for the 13 jailed.
I heard this from an Iranian who has no ties to NK or Satmar, he learned in NI in Baltimore and now lives in Lakewood
