Yaakov: I’ve already asked talmidim of the Steipler Gaon. And every one I’ve asked agreed with every point I made in this thread regarding the Steipler and his love and full support of the Neteurei Karta.

Supreme Court Judge: “Make Space In Prison For All Chareidi Draft Evaders”

Yaakov: You’re missing the point. I’m not saying the Steipler supported protesting together with Goyim against Israel. My guess (I’m not certain) is that he was against that idea. But what I am saying is that, despite the Steipler possibly being against this idea or that action that the Neteurei Karta might have felt (based on the Rabbonim that HaRav Amrom Blau ztvkl consulted) was the proper approach (therefore disagreeing on a certain point with the Steipler), nevertheless the Steipler clearly believed that on the balance of things, despite any disagreement on more minor issues, that the Neteurei Karta were great tzadikim that Klal Yisroel needed and benefited from, and that broadcast to the world that Torah Jewry is diametrically opposed to Zionism.

The so-called “Hareidi units” of the Zionist Army is 95% dati leumi and 5% OTD Hareidim.

All The Details On The “Million-Man Rally:” This Is Where The Gedolei Yisrael Will Stand

Yaakov: You must’ve missed my post on the previous page of this thread where I pointed out that the Neteurei Karta — in the time of the Steipler Gaon — joined a protest with the Palestinian Liberation Organization headed by Yasser Arafat — at the United Nations.

And — yet — the Steipler Gaon wrote what he wrote, in high praise of the Neteurei Karta, despite that fact.

The Neteurei Karta in the time of the Steipler Gaon was just as kanoish as they are today.

Simcha613: If an apikorus publicly advocates for apikorsus, then Hagaon HaRav Yitzchak Yosef is obligated to call out that apikoros’ apikorsus.

Chareidi “Draft Dodger” Says Prison Conditions Are “A Danger To Ruchniyus”

Harav Shalom Ber Sorotzkin shlit”a decried the ongoing persecution of bnei Torah in Eretz Yisroel, comparing the situation to the dark days of Soviet oppression.

“I came to America to do a job that isn’t easy — to take care of bochurim,” Rav Sorotzkin said. “We have 13,500 talmidim across our mosdos, and every one of them is precious. When I heard this morning that they arrested a choshuve bochur in the yeshiva — an emesdike masmid, whose only ‘crime’ was sitting and learning Torah — I was shaken. We heard such stories from our fathers and grandfathers in Russia, when people were arrested for learning. Now it’s happening again, in Eretz Yisroel.”

The bochur, named Ariel Shammai, was sentenced to 20 days in military prison. “He was handed a 20-day prison sentence for one thing,” Rav Sorotzkin said sharply. “For being an oved Hashem and learning Torah.”

Following the arrest, a massive atzeres tefillah was held outside the prison Wednesday afternoon. Over 1,200 bnei Torah gathered to show support and solidarity with the imprisoned talmid. The gathering doubled as a psichas zman for the yeshiva, led by Rav Moshe Hillel Hirsch shlit”a.

“It was a big maamad of kiddush sheim shamayim in a mechubadike way,” said Rav Sorotzkin. “We began Chezkas Habatim there. It gave the bochur chizuk — he saw that Klal Yisroel is with him.”

Yankel: How familiar are you regarding the activities of Rav Amrom Blau ztvk”l and the Neteurei Karta during his lifetime and during the lifetime of the Steipler Gaon?

They were considered very engaged in קנאות, as the Steipler writes and highly praises the Neteurei Karta for. Rav Blau and many others in NK were jailed many times by the Zionist state regime authorities in the Holy Land (during the Steipler’s lifetime.) Under Rav Balu (which was during the Steipler’s lifetime and which the Steipler is praising), the NK protested the existence of the State of “Israel”, Rav Blau praised the torching of a pritzus shop in Tel Aviv in 1972, the NK burned the Israeli flag in public in 1968 (not long after the ’67 war), they held many vigils and large street demonstrations and roadblocks that often resulted in physical clashes with Israeli police. Rav Balu and many other NK persons were arrested many times and were sentenced to quite a bit of time in Israeli prison. After the ’67 war they cultivated relationships with the PLO. In 1970, the NK held a public protest alongside the PLO outside the United Nations. The NK addressed the U.N. on the issue of Israeli sovereignty over Jerusalem and strongly advocated their anti-Zionist stance. You can find documents even today on the UN website referring to the Neteurei Karta and the Neteurei Karta’s advocacy that Jerusalem become an international city not under Israeli sovereignty, among other anti-Zionists stances the NK advocated to the UN.

And the Steipler Gaon, after seeing all of the above, referred to the Neteurei Karta as his friends and colleagues, wished them long lives and good days; and said that he loves every single one of them. The Steipler says their zealotry is praiseworthy and l’sheim shamayim and he wouldn’t want them to stop doing what they do, as what the Neturei Karta does is necessary and beneficial for the preservation of Torah and Yiddishkeit.
