Reply To: Should We View Satmar Growth and Anti Israel Indoctrination as Concern

Firstly, Especially as we read in the news of the crazy racists in Virginia that rallied against Jews and black people and anyone that is not a white protestant recently, of course I think its great when the numbers of Jews, especially frum Jews, grow. We need to rebuild. And most satmar yidden are wonderful fellow Jews and people.

My observation from seeing videos this year and last year of many hundreds of campers being indocitrinated to actually strongly protest in rallies against israel and the israeli defense forces in strong terms exactly as Neturei karts who openly join with moslems in anti Israel rallies.

As these numbers grow and as the ranks of moslems, and “progressives” grow as well the Pro Israel community seems to need a major growth spirt.
Indeed we have seen that now 1 of the 2 New York senators, Gilibrand, questions if Israel has a peace plan and if she will vote for the anti BDS bill in congress. Maybe being from Upstate NY she sees whats going on at Kiryas Yoel.

And regarding if they will ask if you were pro Israel. I think when the Gemara says what we will be asked – if you learnt Torah in set times, if you waited for the redemption, etc it DOES NOT say “Did you Kill?” Did you commit adultery?” Because that is OBVIOUSLY Wrong – Just as Betraying Millions of Jews, Chilul hashem and being Tifrosh from the Tsibur (to the degree of Endangering millions of them)
