Moishe Aryeh Friedman is a sick man. By sick I do not mean he is sick with cancer or AIDS, or anything of the like. By sick I mean sickening.
he calls himself the Chief Rabbi of Austria, but he does not really hold that title. He supposedly never even completed his rabbinic studies and his use of the title "Rabbi" is being challenged in court (by Rabbi Yonah Metzger, Chief Rabbi of Israel).
Friedman is involved and in charge of many anti-Israel groups, including Neturei Karta. He has publicly met with the president of Iran Ahmadinejad and called for the destruction of Israel..
Here is a recent video of Friedman in Iran with Ahmadinejad. Not only did the dog Friedman meet Ahmadinejad and kiss his scruffy cheeks, but he brought his kids along for the joyride as well.
Another reason to fast....
ReplyDeleteIt boggles the mind. How do we explain this to people who aren't Jewish?
ReplyDeleteI don't think it is possible
ReplyDeleteacc. to my rov, he publicly said they are rotzchim. They are putting other jews in danger by behaving this way with such a person in public.
ReplyDeletewhat to do about it? I don't know.
A liilte more about this menuval:
ReplyDeleteWhile often called by the title of "Rabbi" in the media, his status as a rabbi has been challenged by Rabbi Yona Metzger, Chief Rabbi of the State of Israel.[4] Officials of the Jewish Community of Austria say that he has not proven that he has completed the rabbinical studies required to earn the title.[5]
Friedman acknowledges that the Holocaust occurred, but has challenged the widely-cited figure of six million Jewish victims as a "Zionist fabrication."[5] Friedman has stated that "behind-the-scenes individuals and financial backers as well as perpetrators of some World War II crimes had been Zionists themselves."[6]
On December 11, 2006, Friedman actively participated in the International Conference to Review the Global Vision of the Holocaust a two-day symposium held in Tehran and sponsored by Iran's Foreign Ministry Institute for Political and International Studies (IPIS) for the purpose of "reviewing the Holocaust". Friedman spoke at a forum hosted by the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to discuss the Holocaust, where Friedman embraced and kissed Ahmadinejad.[2] Following the conference in Tehran, Friedman delayed his return to Austria due to his fears that he could be arrested by Austrian authorities for holocaust denial. [5][7]
In May 2006, Friedman met with Atef Adwan of Hamas and an acting Palestinian Cabinet Minister in Stockholm, Sweden, where Friedman announced his goals of building a "joint coalition" between Hamas and anti-Zionist Jews, and plans to send humanitarian aid to the West Bank.[8]
Friedman has aligned with the far right Freedom Party of Austria as part of an effort to obtain official government recognition for his religious community.[9]
The board of the Jewish Community of Vienna voted unanimously to excommunicate him, and has accused him of desecrating the Sabbath while participating in demonstrations.[10] Also, his children have been expelled from the Vienna Talmud-Torah school, owing the school 20,000 Euro tuition fees. [11] An Austrian court has rejected Aryeh Friedman's bankruptcy petition in August 2007 because no one would pay the costs of the proceedings. A new lawsuit against Friedman is due on 24. September, this time about unpaid bills for a Bar Mitzvah celebration in Vienna for his son. Even though the celebration was ignored by the Jewish community of Vienna, he had the bill sent to them and now faces charges of fraud. [12]
On March 11, 2007, while on a visit to Poland, members of the Israeli Jewish-Orthodox organization ZAKA attacked Friedman. Their leader, Yehuda Meshi Zahav, spotted Friedman in a crowd and attacked him for his participation in the Tehran conference, leaving Friedman badly bruised.[13]
This is a really sick man. Where are the chasidic "enforcers/Dementors" to deal with a guy like this.
ReplyDeleteOne of those NK guys tried posting on my blog once before I made Aliyah. He got a bit perturbed when I started quoting sections of the quran that state that Eretz Yisrael was for Yehudim and that even the quran states we are supposed to here. These guys are scum, simple and plain. I think people who aren't Jewish can understand that.
