Yisroel Dovid Weiss, the reprehensible, terrorist-kissing leader of Neturei Karta, released a video expressing his shock and sorrow over the “tragic passing” of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, who was assassinated under murky circumstances in Tehran, during a visit marking the swearing-in of new Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian.
“We are here to show the Palestinian people that all the actions of the Zionist state has nothing to do with Judaism or the Jewish people,” Weiss said, speaking from Doha, Qatar. “We have come here to the funeral of Sheikh Ismail Haniyeh, and to give condolences to the people of Palestine on the 76 years of Nakba, and the last ten months of the carnage – of the genocide in Gaza.”
A demented lunatic to his core, Weiss contended that it was his “obligation” – which he claimed was dictated by “great rabbis” – to “inform the world that Judaism is totally in opposition to the State of Israel and everything that emanates from the State of Israel.”
“This latest crime was committed amidst the ten-month-long genocide launched on the besieged Gaza, with tens of thousands killed in the brutal aggressive war, leading to a humanitarian disaster within the territory under siege,” a statement from his terrorist organization said.
“Our heartfelt condolences are extended to his family, to the Palestinian people, and to every single victim of the cycle of bloodshed in Palestine, which is caused only by the very existence of Zionism and the occupation of Palestine,” the statement concluded.

Other than his saying it very publicly and mourning the death of Hanieh, how are his shittos any different than what many commentators post here generally in the name of Brisk or sometimes in the name of Da’as Torah?
He needs to be dealt with.
Hey Palestinians: Ask him if he prays every day for a Jewish Temple to be built in place of Al Aqsa Mosque. He’s not your friend. He’s just a scumbag.
In the case of “Moshe” Weiss, his god is allah and his prophet is Mohamed.
Many pro-Hamas Leftists such as Moshe (Mohamed) Weiss hide behind facades of fake Judaism while ingratiating themselves with all the non-Jewish anti-Semites.
Judaism is totally in opposition to those who mourn the deaths of bloodthirsty terrorists.
Remember when R’ Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld met with the king of Jordan to discuss how to remove the Zionists?
Was he also a “DEMENTED LUNATIC”?
May we soon hear of the passing of this evil creep.
In addition to being a רוצח and מוסר who advocates for the murder of Jews, this creature is also a kofer in the י”ג עיקרים, the coming of Moshiach.
His hope for the future is for non-Jews to rule ארץ ישראל “speedily in our days.”
The problem with the zionists is that they replaced Moshiach with an irreligious anti-G-d entity.
This creature replaces Moshiach with a non-Jewish, Jew-murduring Muslim entity.
He is the pot calling the kettle black.
Really what is the purpose of this article.
Why spread idiocy, from a really small group, that will just get everyone upset.
how much are they paying him?
Why didn’t Kamala choose Moshe Dovid ימ”ש as her VP? That would have brought in the arab vote.
With all due respect I must issue a מחאה against the editor of YWN:
Not only is HaRav HaGaon Reb Yisroel Dovid Weiss שליט”א NOT reprehensible or a “demented lunatic” ח”ו, but he is a Tzadik, a Kadosh, and a HUGE Kiddush Hashem!! The Neturei Karta are merely putting into practice the hashkafos that countless Gedolim past and present have expressed against Zionism and the avodah zara of the “State of Israel”.
As just one example among many, to quote the Wikipedia entry on Reb Reuven Grozovsky: “In one essay, Grozovsky stressed that Agudath Israel differed from the extreme anti Zionist Neturei Karta only in tactics, not in ideology”
And it can even be argued that Rabbi Weiss שליט”א and the Neturei Karta שיחיו have saved countless Jewish lives by proclaiming to the world that Judaism and Zionism are complete opposites. In fact, the 13 Jews of Shiraz, Iran who were accused of spying for Israel in 2000 had their death sentences commuted by a judge who even acknowledged that thanks to Neturei Karta, he realizes that not all Jews are Zionists ב”ה.
It behooves the author of this pro-Zionist puff piece especially during the Nine Days to beg Rabbi Weiss for מחילה for the motzi shem ra he wrote, although I am confident that Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss שליט”א, in his boundless TRUE ahavas Yisroel (not the fake ahavas Yisroel that “religious” Zionists pay lip service to but really mean ahavas Zionism) is already mochel him!
YWN
Please. We really don’t care what this guy says or does. And we really not interested in getting sick to our stomach from him either. So please stop shoving this guy’s propaganda down our throats
ולמלשינים אל תהי תקווה, וכל עושי רשעה כרגע יאבדו
i smell $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I Know Rabbi Weiss personally and while you can disagree with some of his actions he does a lot of chesed and is a real tzadik. I wouldn’t be jealous of the punishment the person who wrote this piece will get in Shamayim especially in the 9 days (ps moderator as I doubt this communist website will publish a comment contrary to whatever there opinion is, so the message is for you)
Why are you giving these antisemites publicity?
This was obviously posted by the Zionist wing of YWN.
The key point of this story is his statement here:
““We are here to show…that all the actions of the Zionist state has nothing to do with Judaism or the Jewish people,” Weiss said, speaking from Doha, Qatar.”
If all Jews would recognize this, then NK would have no reason anymore to do what they do.
He happens to also be right that the Zionist invasion of the holy land a century ago has indeed been a Nakba, though much more so for Jews than for the Arabs there:
““We have come here…to give condolences…on the 76 years of Nakba…””
You portrayal of him as a “demented lunatic to his core”, is also obviously coming from Zionism. He happens to be right, as per the Satmar Rav (though he did not hold of NK’s antics) and others, that it is indeed an ““obligation”…to “inform the world that Judaism is totally in opposition to the State of Israel and everything that emanates from the State of Israel.””
This is simply the indisputable truth: Zionism is diametrically opposed to Judaism, and, as per the Brisker Rav, the Zionist “State” is a violation of the entire Torah and the greatest achievement of the Satan since the golden calf.
He sounds like he’s running the Harris/Walz campaign!
And why is this idiot even mentioned on this site?
where do they get money to travel to qatar im just curious
He’ll SHOW HIS GRATITUED to the palanazis as they shove him and his family into gas chambers. Doesn’t he realize that almost all the people killed in the kibutzim on Simchas Torah were arab-loving leftists? Just like him. Nebech!
He should have a quick death
He didn’t say that in Williamsburg
I am as impressed by the well written defenses of this tzadik and Neturei Karta in the comments especially @Yossi Name Edited) as I am disgusted by the baseless hatred this article was written to spread.
Move out of monsey and move to iran itll be cheaper instead of flying in for all the funerals and we dont need him here
This idiot is simply denying the facts. Hamas writes in their own charter that their goal is to kill Jews world wide. This guy literally is trying to white wash these terrorists intentions and make as if they only hate the zionists. Creep.
Ive been through this website for quite a few days now and I must say its been so entertaining yet I think it has come time for me to turn it off permanently.
The dangers of seeing lashon hara on this website is almost inevitable. You can call yourselves “yeshiva world” news but there nothing yeshiva like going on here.
This post is disgusting. Why give him publicity?
Why start Sinas Chinum?
For entertainment?
To let out your anger on a crazy sect of jews?
You’ll probably delete my comment because its bad for business. But lehalacha I think I have to say something. Open up a sefer shmirat halashon one time and you’ll shake from the words of the chofetz chaim. Its the nine days and we suffer every day from the sinas chinum that still exists today. Be very careful with what you guys post on this website. The responsibility is huge and the consequences can be dangerous.
I condemn the neturei karta. But I condemn you guys just as much.
May we see peace amongst ourselves and dance together by the geulah
Nice to have a preview of the next target of Hamas……!!!!
He should have a quick death imyh
shmirashalash0n you totally missed the boat
it’s not considered sinas chinum
Attention all NK Reformadox propagandists:
It is obvious that secular Zionism is not Judaism. I don’t need NK to tell me that.
But the issue of “Zionism” is largely a straw man that the NK supporters use to manipulate Jewish opinion against Torah law.
Once there are Jewish settlements in Eretz Yisrael, Torah law obligates us to defend those settlements using military force.
We are obligated to violate Shabbos to defend the Jewish settlements, if necessary.
This is a clear halacha in Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim 329, based on Talmudic rulings.
Those who discard this halacha in the name of a phony “anti-Zionism” belong in a Reform temple.
the problem with this NK guy is that the same way the heilegeh satmar rav so strongly assured affiliating with the zionist regime bec you’re not allowed to be mischaber with reshaim (along with other reasons as well) , this guy is doing the opposite, being mischaber with hamas and iran reshaim
So why are you printing what this loony toony moronic idiot says , this is exactly what he wants from you to publicize him and his group consisting of a dozen animals just like him. Free publicity and you are providing it for him!!!
Why do I have to know what he says or anyone in the Jewish community, no one is interested.
Maybe its time for him to meet all his departed friends whom he is mourning!
Why are there so many posters who claim that YWN won’t post their criticism against the website? They allow these comments all the time!
Shmirashalash0n:
Why don’t you open the sefer Shemiras Halashon and learn when making a machaa against rodfim and mosrim is not only permissible but obligated!
Shmirashaloshen, I think you are a troll. I dont believe that you actually believe that having an article about the NK terrorist supporters is loshen hora. If you actually believe the comment you posted then go learn the halacos of loshen hora. Talking about these reshuim is not loshen hora.
WrongJew:
Wow. Where to begin?
The issue is not only “secular” Zionism but all flavors of that idolatry. Evidently, yes, you do need NK to tell you that.
Zionism is not a “straw man” that they use to manipulate Jewish opinion against the Torah. That would, of course, be Zionism.
Actually, if those Jewish settlements were against the Torah, then they would need to be disbanded ASAP and defended until that point. But that has zero to do with the Zionist shmad army.
Those who discard anti-Zionism in the name of twisted and distorted and invented “halacha” belong in a Reform temple. (Or, better, they should do teshuva.)
duh:
You and the other Zionists probably don’t know that the Brisker Rav applied that exact prayer to….the Zionists.
If somebody chas vshalom criticizes secular zionists (who are all pintele yid, big tzadikim, of course), they become a self hating jew.
But it’s OK, and recommended, to CURSE (an issur mdioraisa mamash!!) a frum yid, because he’s anti zionist.
Something wrong here?
So many frum hidden today are influenced by zionism that they care more about secular Israelis, and even goyim, than frum yidden who happen to disagree with them.
I’ve even heard of mainstream Rabbanim (i dont wanna say names here), who have stated that NK are goyim!
Crazy??
But they are not “self gating jews”????
The zionists were always the greatest threat to Judaism.
But now, they are the greatest threat to jews!!
We need NK now more than ever before!!
Thank you Rabbi Moshe Weiss!!
Continue making a kiddush Hashem with every video posted.
And don’t listen to the self hating jews who curse you and hate you, but love secular Israelis, because of “Ahavas Yisrael”, which they think doesn’t apply to you, because you are saving all jews worldwide, but go against the zionist agenda and lies
When someone consistently and actively advocates on behalf of those who have murdered thousands of yidden in cold blood and will continue to do so, there is NO inyan of lashon harah or sinas chinam that arises in unequivocally condemning their actions and wishing for their speedy demise.
And those who think its funny to troll on their behalf by saying that while one might “disagree” with their shitah on helping those who murder yidden but they are otherwise big “tzadikim”, your sick sense of humor may come back to haunt you.
philosopher:
Which Beis Din judged them to be reshaim? They’re showing the world the truth that Judaism is diametrically opposed to Zionism and, in fact, are engaged in saving Jewish lives, even if they do so in a manner that isn’t typical.
If Weiss is so bothered by Zionism, why does he reside in Israel? That’s hypocrisy. He should move to Gaza or to another Arab land.
Why doesn’t Israel have laws against harming its nation by seditious and anti rule of law behavior, that Weiss is doing?
Before Israel was recognized by the UN and declared a Nation, one could be unhappy and critical about any Political type of government.
But now there’s a Yishuv ie. Organized Torah entities eg. many Yeshivas etc. etc. Weiss is cursing and endangering אחינו בית ישראל and their Torah. The current and previous Gedolah Hatorah have ruled and followed that Frum yiden can live in Eretz within a Zionist entity > in these times < .
Not only is Weiss מורד במלכות but also a מזיק גדול לרבים.
I LOVE it when all you nutjobs go haywire, electrocuting yourselves with bubbly anger and hatred against this guy, calling him a demented lunatic.
I do not remember the last time I had anything against a demented lunatic, if they are crazy than leave them alone! They are crazy!
YOU DON’T GET ANGRY AT LUNATICS, YOYU LAUGH AT THEM, ELE MAY, THEY ARE NOT CRAZY AND THERE IS SOME TRUTH IN WHAT THEY ARE SAYING AND THE TRUTH HURTS!!!!
To all those typing furiously away on their keypad, trying to think of the most not Jewish wish they can curse this man with, let me just remind you, it is not really that clever to curse people based on an online news site and video, guaranteed, maybe 99% of the commentors here have never met this man, do not know anything about him other than this video.
Shame on yourselves.
