Traitors

Every time I read a story about the Neturei Karta, I get all upset. Then I tell myself that these people are nothing but frauds who happen to wear Jewish garb, who will eventually have to meet their Maker and explain their actions.

But now I'm really, really seething, courtesy of this story from the Jerusalem Post.

A delegation from the anti-Zionist Neturei Karta sect is currently visiting Teheran to meet with senior officials and express their support for Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his calls to eliminate Israel.

In a statement to Iran's official IRIB radio, the group called for "the disintegration of the Zionist regime" and defended the Iranian president, saying that it "is a dangerous deviation to pretend that the Iranian president is an anti-Jewish or anti-Semitic personality."

...At the meeting, according to the Iranian news agency IRNA, Weiss "praised the 'enlightening' statements of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad about the Holocaust and said the establishment of a Zionist government and occupation of Palestine are contrary to the injunctions of Judaism."

So now the Neturei Karta deny the Holocaust?
