Satmar calls for a mass demonstration at the Israeli consulate
The Hisachdus harabbonim of the US and Canada has called for a massive demonstration today to take place during Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech to congress. Thousands of chassidim are expected to attend the rally. The message to the world is that Prime minister Netanyahu does not represent and is not a spokesman for world Jewry. Buses will go out from Lakewood, Monroe, Monsey, and Brooklyn. It will take place at 4:30 pm opposite the Israeli consulate 800 Second Avenue.

Interesting. The Satmars are in effect denouncing the Congress of the United States for inviting whomever they want and who they decided was worth listening to. Netanyahu has a lot more legitimacy for speaking for much of world Jewry than does Satmar. But don't worry, I don't think Iran has any immediate plans for targeting New York. Not their problem.
