Satmar Grand Rebbe Joel Teitelbaum -- Satmar Hasidic Group Speaks Out
against the Zionist Agenda

Satmar Grand Rebbe Joel TeitelbaumRabbi Joel Teitelbaum of blessed
memory was Grand Rabbi and spiritual leader of the Satmar Hasidic
group (which in his lifetime became one of the biggest Hasidic groups
in the world today). Rabbi Teitelbaum in his lifetime authored many
scholarly works in all fields of Torah but aside from this and his
vehement condemnation of the Zionist movement (both verbally and in
writing) Rabbi Teitelbaum is best known in the Orthodox Jewish world
for his scholarly work "Vayoel Moshe", VYOEL-MOSHE

This book provides evidence from the Torah opposing Zionism and
prohibiting relationships with Zionists such as not participating in
Zionist elections, not serving in their army, and avoiding speaking
the Hebrew language that the Zionists invented, (incidentally, this is
not the holy and true Hebrew language in which the Bible is written.)

The Zionists and their actions are responsible for the fate of the
Moroccan Jews, whose voices still cry out to us today. Many letters
have been written about the fact that their lives could have been good
in their country of origin, a merciful country; however the Zionists
are always stirring up trouble and placing the Jews in terrible
danger. The Torah says that we must not ignore the blood of our
brother! And yet people are silent! Even in the United States the
Zionists struggle to bring about anti-Semitism, just as they did in
Europe. We need tremendous mercy from G-d to prevent them from
succeeding, because with their slander and arrogance they could bring
it about. If a person looks closely he can see this.

I said I do not want to go into political issues, and there is nothing
to say about talk about. If there were not any heretical movements in
the United States because they would have already assimilated, but
Zionism is the source of ongoing heresy, it's a factory of heresy, and
this is a fact that no one can deny, for tens and hundreds of
thousands of people, who the Zionists worked tirelessly to bring into
utter heresy. Everyone knows this, and yet it is tolerated, accepted,
and it is raised up in the air! Due to our many sins the leaders
should be shouting out against the abomination against G-d, against
this true form of heresy! Instead they support it and raise it high!
They give it power and strength!

The danger for the Jewish People is because those who are irreligious
and who are heretics are the leaders of the Jewish People. Therefore
because of them the nations of the world are misled into hating Jews,
so one of the greatest things to do would be to selflessly proclaim to
the nations that the Zionists are not the representatives of the
Jewish People, and that religious Jews have no connection with them.
We should have had self-sacrifice to do this, but because of our many
sins, people are frightened of public opinion, and if anyone should
say these things about the Zionists, there will be religious leaders
who will fight against them with all sorts of excuses.

A statement from the Satmar Rav, Grand Rabbi Joel Teitelbaum
concerning the so called "Yom Ha'Atzmau't" (Zionist "Israel
Independence Day")

We must not minimize the seriousness of the grave sin of rejoicing or
appearing to rejoice and making a festival on the terrible Day of
Blasphemy that they call "Yom Ha'Atzmau't. The day that the members of
the conspiracy against G-d and his Messiah, established their Kingdom
of Atheism over the Jewish People, by uprooting the Holy Torah and the
Faith, at that time the shedding of blood of myriads upon myriads of
Jews began.

This is much worse than accepting idolatry because they not only
accept it but celebrate and rejoice in the terrible rebellion against
G-d and His Holy Torah.

There are many sinners and even deniers of the Faith whose hearts
trouble them because they are not serving G-d, but they are unable to
stand up against temptation and against deceitful ideologies that
confuse them. However, those who rejoice in this sin are guilty of
much worse blasphemy.

May the Merciful save us from them and from their followers, and
strengthen our hearts and enlighten our eyes in His Torah and in His
Service.

(from: Va'Yoel Moshe, Vol. II, ch.157, by the Satmar Rav - Grand Rabbi
Joel Teitelbaum)

The actions committed by the Zionists provoked hatred and persecution
against Jews living in Arab Lands

The majority of Jews from Arab countries who have come to the Zionist
state had resided in peace and tranquility, lacking nothing, until the
establishment of the heretical regime, that is, the Zionist state,
which has been the original cause of hatred and persecution in their
native countries. The Zionists themselves made this all possible with
various tricks and ruses in order to increase the persecution so that
the Jews living in Arab lands would have to move to the Holy Land
utterly penniless. Then the Zionists bragged about this that they were
the "saviors" of these Jews although it had been the Zionists
themselves who were the initial cause of all this upheaval.

On the contrary, the Zionists worked to make sure that the doors of
many nations were closed to Jewish refugees

The Zionists constantly boast that the only place of refuge on earth
for Jews is their state. However, anyone with a brain in his head can
see that it has been because of the Zionists that the doors of other
countries were shut to the Jews. This is because the Zionists always
exert every effort to prevent Jews from going anywhere else other than
to their own state. Any person who takes even the slightest action of
offering Jews the possibility of finding refuge in any other country
to fulfill the statement of our Sages in the Talmud (Tractate
Pesachim, p. 87) that "G-d did an act of charity to disperse the Jews
among the nations" faces savage attacks of all kinds from the
Zionists, who hurl all types of insults, slander and curses, claiming
that such a person is a self-hating Jew who hates the Holy Land.

Moreover, Zionist officials and ministers fan out all over the world,
attending banquets with world officials to convince them to refuse to
allow their nation to serve as lands of refuge for Jews, and on the
contrary, implore them to coercively redirect these Jews to the
Zionist state in violation of the Oath prohibiting mass immigration to
the Holy Land as explained by the Talmudic sages. The Zionists coerce
most of those Jews who have arrived in the Zionist State into heresy
and apostasy, and the children of these Jews are defiled in dreadful
ways. These "immigrants" continue to suffer poverty and enormous
destitution. All the Zionists care about is that they should have a
strong state with a huge pool of available soldiers for their army and
other coercive organizations and activities.

These Zionist evildoers used their G-d-given free will to choose evil,
arrogance and heresy, and have been the cause of all the suffering and
tribulations to the Jewish People to assure that Jews find no peace
and respite in any country, and work to assure that the doors of the
nations are shut. Furthermore, nations can claim that they do not have
to offer refuge to Jews because the Jews now have their own state
where they can seek refuge. The Zionists, who are viewed by the
nations as the leaders of the Jewish People, demand that Jews not go
anywhere other than to their state.

However, it is obvious that were it not for the Zionist state, the
biblical promise to our Patriarch Jacob that his descendants would
always find refuge and solace would be fulfilled. The Zionists declare
that only they are the "saviors" of the Jewish People; just two years
ago they boast that they were "rescuing" refugees from Egypt, despite
the fact that it was the Zionists themselves who caused all the
suffering and expulsions, as is the case in all their activities. Just
recently it was publicly that the Zionists demanded that a number of
nations accept no Jewish refugees.
