Satmar conduct anti-IDF demonstration in NY
The Satmar socialists came out once more against serving in the Israeli army:
Close to 20,000 Orthodox demonstrators gathered at the Barclays Center arena in Brooklyn on Sunday to protest the Israeli law that mandates Orthodox conscription into the IDF, describing as “Israel’s persecution of religious Jews.” [...]He can take his pathetic defense and stuff it. They're anti-Israel, and they know it. Plus, they're the ones who changed religion and culture, for the worse, not the crowd he's accusing.
The rally was led almost entirely in Yiddish by the anti-Zionist Satmar hassidic group amid unrest in ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods of Jerusalem, where violent protests over the issue have erupted in the past months.
[...] When asked why Orthodox men who live in Israel shouldn’t serve in the army, Niederman said the draft law is not about manpower.
“They don’t need manpower to secure their borders,” he said. “There is a hidden agenda here to try to change what the Jewish community believes in, forcing them to change their religion and culture.”
Despite the anti-Zionist nature of the Satmar group and Sunday’s rally, Niederman insisted: “We are not anti-Israel.”
