This isn’t the first time Agudas Yisroel and Satmar joined forces. About six years ago Satmar and Agudah organized an anti-Israel draft rally in Manhattan when the Israeli government was considering a new draft law for Yeshiva bochorim.

And none of this is remotely new. You can easily find historic photographs of similar public protests against Israel with the Satmar Rebbe zt’l sitting on the dais next to the Mirrer Rosh Yeshiva Rav Kalmonovitz zt’l and Rav Zak’s zt’l, son in law of the Chofetz Chaim and Rosh Yeshiva in Radin.
