Neturei Karta Attacks MKs in Mea Shearim

PALESTINIANS-ISRAEL/

The Neturei Karta is known as the group of anti-Semitic Chassids that have joined in anti-Israel protests around the world, funded anti-Israel terrorism, and participated in a Holocaust denial conference in Iran.  Now, several of its members have been involved in another attack on Israeli ministers.

In the Haredi neighborhood of Mea Shearim in Jerusalem, Neturei Karta members attacked MK Moshe Gafni and MK Uri Maklev, both of the ultra-orthodox United Torah Judaism party.

Witnesses said that the two MKs left a synagogue together after mincha (afternoon prayers) and were immediately attacked by the Neturei Karta members due to their collaboration with the “Zionist regime.”

To me, that sounds a lot more like Hamas terrorism than anything Jewish.  I am constantly ashamed that the Neturei Karta are associated with Judaism in any way.  It seems that things have gotten so out of hand with them that Jew on Jew violence is becoming accepted from their “Rabbis.”  Several months ago, Neturei Karta members attacked an MK from the Sephardi religious Shas party.
