NY Daily News; Rabbi ripped for embracing Ahmadinejad

I wonder how it all turned out...

Rabbi ripped for embracing Ahmadinejad

BY ABBY LUBY
SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

It was an unbelievable image - especially for Jews.

There, on their televisions and in their papers, was a New York rabbi embracing the Iranian leader who wants Israel destroyed and calls the Holocaust a farce.

But Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss, who has followers in Brooklyn and Rockland County, makes no apologies.

His outraged neighbors will protest today.

"You don't negotiate with Hitler and you don't negotiate with the president of Iran, who is out to destroy the Jews," said Carol King Berkman, who works with Holocaust survivors at Rockland's Jewish Family Service.

While Weiss, whose grandparents perished at Auschwitz, doesn't deny the Holocaust, he accuses his people of using it to justify decades of bloodshed in the Middle East.

Weiss said he and seven other rabbis from the Neturei Karta sect attended President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's huddle in Tehran last month to reach out to the Iranians.

"We tried to appease them," he told The News. "We explained how the Holocaust is used to intimidate people who want to speak against the unjust Zionist regime."

That stance only further infuriates his neighbors in Rockland's massive Hasidic community.

Malkie Zamore said she and her husband will be at today's 1p.m. protest outside Neturei headquarters in Monsey.

"We don't consider Weiss one of ours," she said. "What he did was very wrong."

And the world is doing nothing to stop these genocidal murderers from getting the bomb...

We all know the Iranian government has no grip on reality - now, even more evidence:

UPDATE

VitalPerspective's summary:

Let's see that we got it right: Adolf Hitler decided to start a world war, invade Russia, kill 6 million brethern as well as tens of millions of non-Jews just so that he could lose the war, destroy his country, shoot himslef [sic] in the head, bring about the establishment of the UN that would, in turn, establish a Jewish state in Palestine. Simple right?

On the subject of Holocaust denial, one of the best books available is Denying History. Its analysis is equally valid when examining the 9/11 conspiracists psychosis.

Iran: Hitler was a Jew (YNetNews)

Advisor to President Ahmadinejad claims Nazi leader was Jew who conspired with USSR and Britain to establish Jewish state
Dudi Goldman

Just when you thought the Iranian leadership could stoop no further: A top advisor to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claimed in an interview with Iranian website Baztab that Nazi leader Adolf Hitler's parents were both Jewish and that Hitler himself was one of the founders of the State of Israel.

In the interview, translated by MEMRI (Middle East Media Research Institute) Mohammad-Ali Ramin, a chief aide to Ahmadinejad, told Baztab that Hitler's paternal grandmother was a Jewish prostitute and his father even kept his Jewish name until finally changing it to Hitler when he was 40.

Ramin also claimed that the reason Hitler developed such an aversion to Judaism was because his Jewish mother was a promiscuous woman. Hitler therefore, says Ramin, tried to escape his religion.

Ramin cites a 1974 book by Hennecke Kardel titled 'Adolf Hitler: Founder of Israel', which alleges that Hitler strived to create a Jewish state as a result of being influenced by his Jewish relatives and his cooperation with Britain – which also wanted to drive the Jews out of Europe.

Ramin claims in the interview that Hitler both identified with his Judaism and was disgusted by it. It is these ambivalent feelings, said Ramin, that formed the basis for his treatment of Jews.

According to Ramin on the one hand Hitler's relatives and the friends who brought him to power, as well as his mistresses and personal physician, were all Jewish.

On the other hand he welcomed the expulsion of ambitious and influential Jews from Europe to the British Mandate of Palestine.

The website DailyKos describes itself as a Democratic blog; some say it is one of the most influential Democratic blogs in the blogsphere to date.

Which is why the user "Guringo" took notice when all kinds of comments praising the Iranian Cartoon Contest's First Prize Winner (featured in the video blelow) appeared on that blog - especially when that discussion ended up on the DailyKos recommended list.

Warning: the material in the video below and on the links above include vulgarities and anti-Semitic material (imagine what was written about Joe Lieberman in other posts on the same site)

In case you're wondering what my political affiliation is...

I used to vote only Democrat/Liberal and for a year-and-a-half penned the liberal side of a head-to-head political column in my college newspaper (though sometimes I found myself arguing the conservative point-of-view better than the guy who was writing the conservative side).

Then HAMAS committed the Passover Massacre (photos of victims).

Since then, I've been independent. I'm glad the Democrats are fighting to preserve a woman's right to choose and to keep religion a private matter, yet some of the Democrats' values trouble me regarding what to do with the current Iraq and Israel situations. Meanwhile, the Republicans I've seen are too far to the right for me to stomach voting for them.

As to our governor's race, I'm not sure what to believe sometimes.

Whatever the case, if you are a US citizen, make sure you vote today. You don't get to comment if you don't vote. 'nuff said.
