A clandestine undertaking on behalf of Israel, the Jets and the Jews.

 
Neturei Karta

There isn't much to say about Neturei Karta, the tiny, fanatically anti-Israel group that consistently seeks media attention of its unending affection for murderers of Jews.

Needless to say, these are evil people and one can only hope and pray that they will soon incur G-d's wrath.

To its credit, an article in Thursday's New York Times about Arafat supporters keeping a vigil outside the hospital in France conveys the Neturei Karta's pathetic lunacy and one of its motives.

The Times reports:

A handful of media-savvy representatives from Neturei Karta, a sect of ultra-Orthodox, anti-Zionist Jews opposed to the existence of the Israeli state, was on hand, praying and posing for photographers.

"Yasir Arafat is the person who represented the Palestinian cause," said Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss, from Rockland County, N.Y. "He did it at the cost of his life, at the cost of his own health and comfort."

According to a senior Israeli official, Mr. Arafat used to pay the head of the organization, Rabbi Moshe Hirsch, $30,000 a month, and documents seized at Mr. Arafat's headquarters two years ago are said to have indicated that Mr. Arafat personally authorized payments to Mr. Hirsch.
