There are Jews who see great importance in informing non-Jews the State of Israel is not fervently religiously observant. In fact, they say, Judaism in the ostensible State of the Jews is more of a deceptive veneer than anything else.
I’m thinking especially of “True Torah Jews”*, whose website header screams: “Our mission is to inform the world that the State of Israel does NOT represent Jews or Judaism.”
Thank you, Captain Obvious!
Without even a minimal effort at investigation, anyone should assume this is the case. We all know and observe the official Cursedian identity of scores of states, in name only (by ANY standard). No need to study much history (or any at all, if you reside in one).
So what if the Israeli flag has a Star of David?! How many scores of countries have meaningless Shti Va’erev in their flags, merely a tachshit (you need not destroy the symbol on your Swiss Army Knife or luggage, strictly speaking)?
If anything, the claim signifies honest internal debate about the very facts, so their efforts are COUNTER-productive…
UPDATE: The site address has been changed to “Torah Jews” (omitting the truth, of course), but the message is the same.

The header now states:
מוסד נטרונא, Anti-Zionist organization, Gatekeepers of the Satmar Rebbe’s Legacy.
And here is their “highlighted” post on the Homepage:
ספר “רוממות אל” על תהלים לרב משה אלשיך ז”ל פרק ב’:
אם תהיה לכם יראת מלכות המושלת עליכם אל ירפו ידיכם אלא אדרבא עבדו את ד’ באותה יראה כי היא תהיה לכם עבודה את ד’ שתקבלוה לכפרת עון וגילו אם תהיה לכם מהם רעדה כי תגדלו הכפרה יותר. וזולת הכפרה גם תהיה לכם נשק להלחם בם והוא הטוהר לב כי זכות האמנה תהיה לכם לנשק ברזל נגדם.
(מצאתי ע”י ספר תשועת עולמים)
Enjoy, and pass it on!
Tip: If you say Tehillim and feel it doesn’t work, I suggest adding the pesukim before and after. By “work” I don’t mean answered, but the feeling it was “received”.
Before:
לכו נרננה לד’ נריעה לצור ישענו. נקדמה פניו בתודה בזמרות נריע לו. כי אל גדול ד’ ומלך גדול על כל אלהים.
After:
מי יתן מציון ישועת ישראל בשוב ד’ שבות עמו יגל יעקב ישמח ישראל. ותשועת צדיקים מד’ מעוזם בעת צרה. ויעזרם ד’ ויפלטם יפלטם מרשעים ויושיעם כי חסו בו.
I used to ignore this because I don’t know the source… So, I still don’t.
Must I return my Litvak elite membership card?
