When Chassidim go to the Hague

A new stage of anti-Zionism

Yoeli Landau, the Satmar billionaire tycoon recently featured in Mishpacha Magazine, met this week with the Gerer Rebbe, leader of the largest chassidic movement in Israel and dominant personality on the Council of Torah Sages. He presenting to him a bunch of lies and nonsense about a discriminatory campaign of persecution against charedim. And then he offered a proposal.

They would set up an organization, to which Landau would contribute one million dollars. And the goal of this organization would make a case against Israel at the International Court of Justice in the Hague.

So, not only are they not interested in helping at all with the nation’s very difficult war against our Arab enemies, they even want to enlist our European enemies against us.

After all the developments with the charedi world in the last few years - the opposition to even non-learners helping relieve the burden on the reservists, the refusal to help with the war in any way, R. Dov Landau’s statement that it would have been better had Israel not come into existence - I’m not surprised at their anti-Israel behavior. They have separated themselves out into a different nation that is hostile to Israel and doesn’t care about that harm they cause to it. I only have two questions.

Will Mishpacha magazine cover this story - and will they continue to present Landau as some sort of hero?

And will supporters of the current government continue to claim that people such as Yair Lapid, Yair Golan and Mansour Abbas are inconceivable as coalition partners, while happily partnering with those who seek both to weaken Israel domestically and to recruit Israel’s international enemies?
