Trouble seems to follow those Neturei Karta guys
This is wild.
On a recent tour in Poland to honor the great Chassidic Rabbi, Rabbi Elimelech of Lizhensk, a prominent member of the Jewish community hit a member of the Neturei Karta, i.e. the “Jewish man who kissed Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.” As an act of appreciation, this man was called up to read the Torah in synagogue. (Read the full article.)
As far as I have heard, members of Neturei Karta were on Arafat’s payroll. Anyone have any comments?

In the comments on jpost someone refers to this as a “practical mitzvah”. Maybe ZAKA needs a BUNK wing (Beat Up Naturei Karta)–not quite a chesed shel emet, but close, no?

Well, it would be a big chesed for everyone else.

Tzvi I know that I shouldn’t probably publicly praise the Zaka guys physical response to the Naturei Karta guy BUT I’m going to……… I think it was a wonderful thing and I just LOVE that there are Jews out there who are alive and kicking and have the pride to do acts like that against an organisation that does such damage.

I do not know if it was right of them to hit another Jew or not, but I think many people have the urge to beat those guys up and THEY DESERVE IT.

Rabbi Elimelech of Lizhensk will be the dean of discipline in the newly formed JWKMAA. Jews Who Kick Major A#@ Association!

Ups…. I got the a wrong forum….
the comments remind me of some times in the 30s
when jews were hit and kicked at on the streets….
The only difference is that the Natorei Karta members do not have yellow marks on their clothes…
