Washington – Thousands of demonstrators waving Palestinian flags and dressed in the flag’s green, red, white and black colors filled a square outside the White House and marched around the nation’s capital to support ending violence in Gaza.

Demonstrators on Saturday carried signs including: “We stand with Gaza,” ”Free Palestine Let Gaza Live!” and “Stop the Massacre of Gaza.” The group’s chants could be heard from the north lawn of the White House, but President Barack Obama was not at home.
According to AFP, many of the protesters voiced anger at Netanyahu, with one waving a banner that read “Netanyahu and Hitler are the same, the only difference is the name.”
Among the demonstrators was Tariq Abu Khdeir, the Palestinian-American teenager from Florida who was arrested, and he says beaten, by Israeli security forces.
A handful of ultra-Orthodox Jews dressed in their Shabbos garb from the anti-Zionist’s group Neturei Karta were among those in the demonstration.
An approximately 20-person group of Israel supporters also turned out, and the two groups exchanged shouts.

Last time I checked there’s no eiruv in DC
I am ashamed that our brave israeli soldiers should see these so calle “Jews” with their streimels standing alongside the Arabs. If they side with the Arabs we should ship them off to Gaza along with them.
Sorry NK guys… there is no hater to go protesting with rotzchim
Can someone explain how these fake so-called Jews are holding signs and attending demonstrations with arabs on SHABBOS KODESH?! I spit on these pigs!
Trust me Neturei karta….. hamas wants to get rid of you lot as much ad all of Israel…..it’s no use you’re protesting pro gaza….. hamas is exactly the same as hitler ym”sh ss army who were out to annihilate the Jews.
Is becoming a nightmare. The world is not waking up to reality.
May Hashem destroy the NK and Hamas asap. Both groups deserve a burning hell.
NETUREI KARTA MECHALELEI SHABBOS BEFARHESIA WITH THEIR SHTREIMEL!!!! A SHANDA AND MASSIVE CHILUL SHEM SHOMAYIM!!! THESE ARE NOT YIDDEN AT ALL !!! THEY ARE FIRST CLASS MESHUMADIM WHITH CHASIDIC GARB IN ORDER TO FOOL PEOPLE!!!!
yimach sh’mom v ‘zichrom lo’netzach.
The NK claim their is an eruv around the white house and Lafayette Square and they were staying at a nearby hotel on 13th and H Street so they were able to walk over to demonstration after davening. However, how did they get the signs from the hotel to the area inside the eruv??
Worry when the Naturei Karta cure their own death. Indeed.
Fists from Netanyahu are bigger that any Naturei Karta Frankenstein look alike contest.
Bibi is the steel tiger and his canoe swims up the West Bank with respect.
List the Naturei Karta as the busy bee of Parisian leech therapy. They want to storm the Bastille but leave their cigarette butts behind. Cancer with a cause! Disgusting!! Low life rides for their toilet vision. Someone say “flush!”.
To be mechalel shabbos b’farhesya puts them in a catagory like a non jew. And, I always wondered whether they actually were not playing to role of jew in order to deceive…the whole garb and all…when they actually could be non jewish to begin with. this, at least verifies my feelings…NON JEWS. Mechalel Shabbosniks….
Names? Addresses please? Anyone knows where these reshoim live?
To all hateful comments here: relax guys, even Im not agreeing with there protesting they are still jews & keeping the 613 mitzvas so there is no hater to say ym”s on them
(they will have a better place in gan eiden then lapid-bibi they dont keep any mitzva of Torah)
they represent most of the satmar sect lets not kid ourselves ever speak to them in williamsburg or monroe,,, they have the same opnion as NK..
I don’t appreciate all of those who engage in Loshon Hora, against their fellow Yidden, the Ultra-Orthodox Neterei Karta (NK). This is America, and the NK have a legal right to demonstrate. They have been consistent in their position, as according to Scripture, only when Moshiach comes, can a Jewish state be declared. Therefore, they have the right to abide by their religious convictions, and demonstrate their feelings. Secondly, the goyim have to understand that not all Jews support the various positions of the government of Israel. More Yidden in this country would speak out, but they would be cursed, harassed, and threatened by all of the various organizations federations, AIPAC, which always back the government of Israel, right or wrong.
The only way to deal with these vermin is to hit them in the pocketbook stop giving them money in the shuls or anywhere else, They are parasites who live off others they never worked a day in their life. I never donate to someone with a flying saucer type hat.
Some of these Zionist comments are full of hate for your own. We see what you guys are about.
Looks like NK holds of the DC eiruv which no one knows about
Boycott all Satmar owned businesses until both Teitelbums publicly denounce NK yemach shemam vezichram.
Reply 16. Your defiantly naive and pathetically shortsighted. Go and broaden your narrow horizons. You have no idea what authentic zionist antipathy is. Don’t put everyone in the same criteria because you don’t know any better. Shame on u!!
Yah looks like there is an eruv…..
http://www.kesher.org/eruv.html
Weiss and Beck today stand on the side with athiest jews such as chomsky and finkelstein both athiest and israel haters who mechalel b furhesye, no surprise they were mechalel shabos.
Just as the Palestinians use their own people as human shields, I suggest we use these animals as human shields for us. I’d rather lose a couple of them than our brave israeli soldiers.
I’m amazed that people are still shocked at what NK/Satmar does. Do you really think they care about Hilchos Shabbos, whether there is an eruv, whether the signs they’re holding are muksta? Someone wrote here that they went to the WH “after davening”. Do you really think they daven? Come on…
These demonstrators who went on Shabbos and held up signs against Eretz Yisroel have finally moved all of Yiddishkeit. From now on any charity collectors dressed in chassidic clothing will be refused from Shuls everywhere. Hit them where it hurts. Let them collect their schnorrer money from Arabs and other anti-Semites.
NK should be put in cheirem with zetlach all over the mosdos banning them from Klall Yisroel, signed by ALL Rabbonim,so we can see who is not signed on this list and see how much support they really have,vs. what they claim they have
Also,they should not be given any type of MEDIA attention on VIN or any other site,and especially NO PICTURES of them EVER in print media or online
This will destroy their desired effect,and minimize the amount of chillul
L’Hashem and Loshon Hara/Rechilis that they cause,at least among our frum communities.
sorry to say but many chasidim feel the same way like the neturai karta
Also KNUSA “does not represent world Jewry” I’m even in doubt if they still belong to it. I’ve seen them desecrate Shabbos in open public, the’ve a lack of Ahavas Yisroel and many of their actions have the bitter taste of bitul Toiroh.
The Jewish people are forbidden to oppress another people. The creation of the State of “Israel” came about through, the theft from, subjugation and oppression of, the Palestinian people.
The Rabbis stated, that the State of “Israel” will result in unending pain, suffering and bloodshed. May the Almighty protect His creations.
The State of “Israel” does not speak in the name of Jews, they have stolen the name “Israel” from the Jewish people. Jews are commanded to be loyal citizens in every country in which they reside.
Zionism and the State of “Israel”, is the main cause of the exacerbation of anti Semitism universally.
WOW! It’s mind boggling how LOW the NK will stoop. Don’t they realize that Hamas HATES them too. Their Chilul Hashem has no chance of forgiveness and the Gehinom they will suffer is beyond our imagination. Having Arafat and Sadam Hussein as their buddies will be torturous. Oh well – that’s what the NK wants, that’s what the NK will get . And nobody will shed a tear.
