Marchers in the Israel Day Parade up Fifth Avenue faced some dissonant spectators: Neturei Karta who don’t believe Israel should exist.
Standing near them at Sunday’s celebration were other Orthodox men heckling Toeiva marchers while hoisting signs that read: “Judaism considers male homosexuality a sin worse than murder.”
But mostly, New York’s annual celebration of Israel was greeted by tens of thousands of spectators devoted to the Jewish state. As usual, security was especially tight for a parade that is a potential terrorist target, as are other prominent Jewish venues in New York City.

Very appropriate picture. It demonstrates their mentality and intelligence.
This Associated Press article was published in newspapers and broadcast outlets across the US.
Time to stop giving these nut jobs publicity. Take away and they will go away.
Why do you give these people the headline and photograph?
You are giving them exactly what they want! There were no more than 20 of them but that is not mentioned in the article. Don’t give them the spotlight! That is not what the event was about. Focus on the tens of thousands that marched and supported our country, Israel!
I waiting for YWN to give these guys some PR…
ridiculous
I am sorry how can you call neturei karta anti Israel and anti Zionists, they religiously attend every Israeli Day Parade. Never missing a one.
