Satmar barbarians are constantly berating the State of Israel for what they call "Hisgarus Be'Umois," which basically means that there is a biblical prohibition "not to antagonize the gentiles". Satmar amai- ratzim apply this prohibition to the IDF, Jewish soldiers protecting Israeli citizens which include Satmar families!
But they have no problem teaching their innocent 3 year-olds that goyim are evil!
A London based Newspaper, The Independent, called them out on it and now they are scrambling around like poisoned rats to contain the damage.
These ignorant uncivilized Romanian peasants are in the news on a daily basis violating the biblical prohibition of "Hisgarus Be'Umois." To take the heat off them,they scream at the Israeli Administration that is busy protecting the Jewish people, putting their lives on the line, "Hisgarus Be'Umois"!
A bunch of sick puppies!
Just as an aside, I don't have an issue with calling a spade a spade; Jewish children have to be taught to be wary of gentiles, and be taught that gentiles throughout history have murdered, raped and expelled us,just read our bloody history, however, my beef is Satmar's hypocritical stance that only The State of Israel violates the precept of "Hisgarus Be'Umois"
Notice that satmar's response states:
"When celebrating the 21st Kislev, the day that the Satmar community was saved from the horrors of the Holocaust as their founding Rabbi, Rabbi Yoel Teitelbaum escaped the Nazis,"
No mention that the Rebbe was saved by a Zionist! He escaped the Nazis? How?
How come the majority of his community didn't escape?
was it because of his bad advice?
London - Statement on behalf of the Beis Rochel D’Satmar School in response to The Independent, 2nd September 2015
The Independent newspaper has the Beis Rochel D’Satmar Girls’ school in London, of teaching its students that “non-Jews are evil” in a recent report. When celebrating the 21st Kislev, the day that the Satmar community was saved from the horrors of the Holocaust as their founding Rabbi, Rabbi Yoel Teitelbaum escaped the Nazis, the students are reminded of their history by studying about that time period. The students were given a worksheet during lessons in the context of learning about the Nazis and their history and asked to answer questions based on what they had learned.
The worksheet referred to Nazis as ‘goyim’. The newspaper failed to understand the context and mischievously suggested that children were being taught that goyim rather than Nazis, were evil.
The Independent falsely accused the school of fearmongering, encouraging young children to believe that all non-Jews are evil. Although this is simply not the case, to avoid any confusion the school will explicitly refer to Nazis next year when teaching its students about the history of the 21st Kislev.
Speaking on behalf of the school Shimon Cohen said: “The leaflet that the Independent refers to was handed out on the 21st Kislev, when the Satmar community celebrates the rescue of their founding rabbi from horrors of the Holocaust. This was explained in detail to the Independent, but they chose to ignore the facts and pursue their mischievous story.”
“The questions were only talking about the specific event, but there is no Yiddish word for Nazis. The suggestion that children are being taught that non-Jews are evil is nonsense and simply false. They are being taught that Nazis are evil.”
“It is almost like, if you are sitting around a seder table and you say that the goyim made us build pyramids, you are obviously talking about the Egyptians. You’re not talking about the Welsh. It’s just daft.”
Mr Cohen said that, next year, the school would explicitly refer to Nazis to avoid any confusion. “We will be very clear to avoid any misunderstanding,” he said. “But then, for Yiddish speakers, it was clear. This is a storm in a tea-cup.”

The history of gentile anti-Semitism can't be denied. However, R. Moshe referred to America as a "Malchoos shel chesed".. And he was right. In addition, there are 10's of millions of Christians around the world who support Israel wholeheartedly. That means they give millions of dollars each year to Israel and Jewish causes. Who do you think helps fund nefesh b' nefesh-- Non Jews! Paster John Hagee is a huge ohev Yisroel. His organization is more pro Zionist than the Knesset. They also donated millions of dollars to Israel. After the anti-Semitic attacks on Jewish property and gravestones in San Antonio Texas, it was Pastor Hagee who went straight to Rabbi Aryeh Scheinberg's (Rav of the shul that was defaced (orthodox)) and pledged support, and called a press conference to say so.
Listen, we don't need a Kumba Yah moment to get all touchee feely about this with "we are the world" playing in the background. Buy it is crucial to not only acknowledge that support for Jewish institutions and Israel does no only come from Jews- there are many many righteous and well meaning gentiles out there who could certainly send their dollars elsewhere, but they happen to have a connection to Israel. That makes the public statements and activities of Satmar so disgusting and such a huge Hillul Hashem. Ditto for Rab Shteinerman.
If these heligah Rabbonim are so smart, why can't they simply keep their mouths shut and stop embarrassing themselves and the Jewish people with their moronic public statements about "goyim"?? I once thought that Torah observance was supposed to make you a good Jew and a good person, meaning one who is moral, kind and non-judgmental, and also one who makes society better by setting an example. I abandoned those ideas many years ago, precisely because of the disgusting public behavior, comments, and pronouncements from Satmar, other Chasidim, and so called Daas Torah, many of whom know much but have learned very little about morality.
