Anti-Zionist Satmar Jews arranged visas and spent $800,000 to bring 110 Yemeni Jews to the United States after a Yemeni court acquitted a rabbi’s murderer. The emigration leaves fewer than 200 Jews in Yemen; their 2,800-year-old community has been extinguished.
On the surface, the Satmars appear to be wrong: Jews must move to Israel, not from one Diaspora to another. But the Satmar movement has a point: the Israeli government committed atrocities on the Yemeni immigrants. Children were torn from their parents and forcibly educated in socialist atheism. The noble, highly religious, law-abiding Yemeni community has been turned into a criminal class of slum dwellers. Rabbi Uzi Meshulam was jailed when he demanded that the government open the graves of the allegedly dead Yemeni children who, according to many accounts, were sold to childless Ashkenazi families.
Satmar Jews brought many Yemeni Jewish children to America, and are nurturing them carefully in Jewish religious traditions.
Satmar did a great job in Yemen
The Satmars trick the Yeminte community to come to NY. Once they are here they are treated like garbage.
I feel sorry that it seems like history is repeating itself.
And to the author of this article the Satmars did NOT raise 800,000. The entire Rockland community donated. Also there are known cases of Satmars having children removed from there Yemenite parents.
Maybe you should view “IN SATMAR CUSTODY”.
The Satmars, indeed, raised the money rather than donated them.
As for removing the children from their Yemenite parents, Satmars do so in the good faith to raise good Jews.
Note, however, that Zionists, too, removed Yemenite children from their parents during the aliyah to indoctrinate them with atheism.
I am Yemeni & Israeli.
I agree with Dov Glass comment.
The Satmers only tricking us.
Thier only goal is to rais money for themself using the jewish yemen community.
1. By intimidating us with the “zionist horor”
2. offering money.
After yemens arrived to the US many find themself with nothing.
Jews removed from Yemen are lucky to have some people to take care of them. Otherwise they would have been dead already! Jews removed from Yemen will hopefully promote Jewish traditions in the US.
GBU-28 Israel wants desperately seems to be a more important issue than lives of hundreds of Jews. Strange, isn’t it?
Satmar with Yemeni Jews has done the thing people from all over the world should treat as an example. Satmar with Yemeni Jews did what the Israeli government should have done.
Russian S-300 missiles causes too much concern among Jew sto think about their counterparts in another country.
Yemeni Jews Satmar has saved should be absolutely grateful! But for this guy, they would have either died in Yemen or in Israel. And none of these options looks particularly attractive.Yemeni Jews Satmar rescued should also be happy that they won’t have to live in the country which constanty has a war with somebody.
According to “Israel News Today” no one can feel safe in Israel any more. Jews have to search for other places to live. And these ones are not an exception.
Satmar may be regarded as a hero by those Jews he has saved. if it hadn’t been for him, no one knows what woud have happened to them. Satmar has demonstrated such rare qualities as courage and kindness.
Bearing in mind Saudi Arabia pedophiles, it’s really great that those Jews and their children may enjoy relative safety now since evryone knows that arabs are rather keen on Jewish girls.
Satmar goes to Yemen and we should thank God he did this. Satmar goes to Yemen because no one else managed to find time or opportunity to do the same.
How new is T-50? No one knows the answer to this question and the same is with the reason for Satmar’s doing what he did.
Luckily, Yemeni Jews news seems to be entirely positive. but it wouldn’t be like that but for this guy who decided to save them. Good Yemeni Jews news is what the Jewish government should have strived for.
Russia-Iran S-300 delivery is more interesting for the Israeli authorities than the well-being of the people.
This is a lot of bull Satmar did not save the jews in yemen. How about Hias, the federation they are even refusing to allow them to seek schools of their choice
