JUDAISM DISCOVERED 46 MICHAEL HOFFMAN

the 'Satmar Gonniff stole tens of millions of dollars throughout his thirty
years at Satmar. The government finally caught up with him, he plea
bargained, and stayed out of jail. Do not tell me that the Rebbe did not know
where all these millions came from. Leib Pinter, the notorious Bnai Torah
fraudster, stole millions of dollars for non existent government lunch
programs. Every single Chassidic Mosad participated willfully and knowingly
with Pinter. Munkascz, Vishnitz, Ger, Belz, Satmar, Skver, Bobov, and all
the other midgets with fur hats and long filthy black bathrobes, had a direct
hand in this and all other government frauds through Pinter and his cohorts.
Pinter went to jail. Pinter has been indicted again for mortgage fraud. He is

the 'energizer' goniff , he keeps stealing & stealing & stealing When they
got caught, these nice guys, rebbes, threw the front men to the dogs. There
was drug money laundering, and drug selling through Bobov. Maher Reiss
went to jail. The Munkaczer's brother, the Dinover Rebbe, brother in-law of
27
the Vyepoler Rebbe (Frankel's shul in Flatbush), was caught drug
smuggling. But they have pretty shuls and fancy homes. Every single time
records had to be produced, all of a sudden the files somehow got destroyed
by fire....Skver, Bobov, Munkascz, Satmar, Gur....all had fire sales.
"You criminals alter the Torah to suit your dementia. You all belong in
mental hospitals when you get out of jail. You guys sicken me. There is not
an honest person among you! I have more respect for Al Capone than I have
for you. He did not hide his fraud and theft behind God.
"Shlomo Halberstam, the first misfit of Bobov, landed in New York after
the war. He had his butt fired at the first shul that hired him...This holy
genius moved to Crown Heights and ran a kindergarten. His job was to give
the kids candies. I swear this is true, I spoke to one of those 'kids.' A few
lunatic admirers of this Don Juan, decided to move him to Boro Park. So
what that he had no clue about learning. He made them feel good, what else
matters? He was a master at his game....his father advised his kehilla in
Poland not to worry about the Nazis, and assured them that no harm would
come to them. He was a "holy" man, surely his bracha had G-D's seal of
approval. Well, you know the end of that story. The 'holy' men from Gur and
Belz gave the same advice to their followers. They would do and say anything

of "Eretz Israel" to a non-Judaic, i.e. to Palestinians. In the summer of 2004,

Avigdor Neventzal, Chief Rabbi of the Old City in Jerusalem stated: "It
should be known that anyone who wants to give away Israeli land is like a
rodef, and certainly land should not be given to non-Jews. Anyone ceding
parts of the Land of Israel to gentiles is, from a halakhic point of view,
subject to din rodef." This term, "subject to din rodef denotes "classified as a
pursuer." Apologists explain the killing of a rodef in terms of an
understandable, common sense survival ethic: "someone comes to kill you,
5 5 9
you kill him first." What apologists don't tell you is that rodef is defined
broadly —a tipster who identifies a Judaic child molester to the police, an
unborn baby "pursuing" its mother, or an Israeli Prime Minister who signs
the Oslo accords. In a tyranny, a word is anything the tyrants say it is, and in
Orthodox Judaism a rodef is defined so loosely it encompasses whomever the
rabbinate wants bumped off.
One can say that the entire nation of Palestinians have been classified
en masse as din rodef. Several prominent Israeli rabbis, including Rabbi
Haim Druckman, declared on Sept. 7, 2004 that "killing enemy civilians
during war is normal." So what problem do the rabbis have with Hitler?
Simply stated, his sin was based on the fact that, mistakenly thinking he was
head of the Master Race, Hitler killed human beings; whereas Israelis, who
know for certain they are the Master Race, merely snuff-out sub-humans.
"A group of fourteen prominent rabbis, led by Druckman, who are
considered authorities by the religious-Zionist public, asked the Israeli army
not to flinch from killing Palestinian civilians in the context of the ongoing
military campaign against armed groups resisting the occupation. Druckman,
71, is one of the most prominent and veteran leaders of the religious Zionist
movement, has been a public figure for over 50 years, since serving as a
revered leader in the Bnei Avika youth movement in the early 1950s. In a
letter to the Israeli defense minister, Shaul Mofaz, published on Sept. 7,
2004, the rabbis said killing enemy civilians is 'normal' during time of war
and that the Israeli occupation army should never hesitate to kill non-Jewish
civilians in order to save Jewish lives. The rabbis quoted a Talmudic edict,
from the ancient 'sage,' Rabbi Akiva, as stating: 'Our lives come first.' The
Israeli newspaper Haaretz (Sept. 9) warned that Israeli '...soldiers, and even
