There’s a not so famous story of the alter Satmar Rebbe zt”l: he was asked who to vote for in a certain election and he responded by advising to vote for the candidate who is more pro-Israel. The person asking the question was surprised by the response as he thought it to be contrary to his usual anti-Zionist position. The rebbe explained that while he (the rebbe) may not like the medinah, it is because of a reading of the gemara in kesuvos but the candidate who doesn’t like Israel, it is because he’s an anti semite.
A message that many so called “neturei karta” fail to understand. Anyone who could befriend the Palestinians, regardless of any halachic reasoning, should be totally excommunicated from the rest of the frum community. period.
