JERUSALEM (VINnews) — MK Yulia Malinovsky, a member of Avigdor Liberman’s secularist Yisrael Beitenu party, sharply criticized police and municipal officials for closing roads in Jerusalem in honor of the visit of the Williamsburg Satmar Rebbe to Israel.

Police announced that during the visit which begins on Tuesday, certain major Jerusalem arteries would be closed. A huge event will take place Tuesday in Malchei Yisrael street and the surrounding roads will be closed during the event. The police explained that the closures would enable the event to take place “with alternative traffic routes in order to minimize the disturbance to local residents.”
Malinovsky tweeted: “Have we gone totally crazy? Closing roads because of an anti-Zionist rebbe who opposes the existence of the State of Israel? I don’t even understand how we let him into the country.”
The rebbe is arriving in Israel for the dedication of the new Satmar Beis Medrash built on Yoel Street in Meah Shearim. He is also bringing with him an estimated 4 million dollars to support institutions and individuals who do not take money from the state of Israel.

Oooh boy!! Can’t wait to read all the comments on this one
Oooh boy!! Can’t wait to read all the comments on this one 🙂 🙂
She makes perfect sense, when Iran’s president comes to un he is confined to 3 blocks and has no escort just a follower
What do you mean, not close the roads, my gosh he is the Grand La Lo Rebbi
I think that MK Yulia Malinovsky is not so wrong. Granted that Satmar, unlike the BDS movement, is not anti Israel because of anti-Semitism, they nevertheless don’t recognize the Government of Israel. And they create strife between secular Jews (who resent the Charedim for not serving in the Army) and frum Yidden. I would deny the Satmar Rebbe entry, if he weren’t bringing a few $million.
He can wire the money. Cheaper, and no need to be matriach anyone else.
What about us in the America. Think of all those inconvenienced by closing the BQE. People sitting in traffic, late for a meeting, because some Rabbi wants to go to Israel. Let him get on the highway like every other citizen. What purpose does he need 15-20 cars with sirens blowing. What security does he need? Who is interested to kill him?? (except maybe his brother)
This whole “shpiel” is done only to out do his brother. Think off how his brother feels with a send off like this. He must be crying in his coffee. Just for this fact Israel should let them in. When his brother tries to out do this on his visit, he will cry from envy
This is the only way these 2 fake anti-Zionist Rebbes can suffer and let them rot.
Think for a moment – you’re absolutely right he doesn’t agree with the zionists. But think of how much money he’s pumping into the Israeli economy on this trip…..Hotels are booked solid, food establishments are working overtime, he’s distributing $4 million, where do you think all that money will go to? Right back into the economy of course. Don’t forget about all the airline tickets that were purchased for this.
Yes, I don’t agree with his shitah, but lets be mature and look at the overall picture….for all this money he’s pumping in, it’s definitely worth closing some streets for a few hours. I bet you the stores in that area are chalishing to have this more often.
MK Yulia Malinovsky why get so upset. A generation ago we let in the Avi Havos Ha’tumah against Hashem and his Jewish land, His name was Reb Yoli. This guy is a clown, just repeating and towing the line. Aron is at least shrewd and knows how to learn, This guy is nothing special, he does have a hadres ponim and is a simpleton of a nice individual. They only took him to counter his hoodlum of a brother. Hamavin Yovim
FYI Satmar does not fly El Al so the money might go to a German, Russian or other EU Airlines(or Delta) by the same reasoning of yours they should invite AOC and the other 4 + ever anti-israeli org so the money they spend will go to the econ…Yep tell Bibi and T to be mature and let the muslim congresswomen in….
He is coming on a private jet not on a commercial flight
If not for the Jewish Agency, a Zionist organization, the satmarer Rebbe would have not been able to leave romenia and be saved. It is a ZIONIST ORGANIZATION who saved the satmarer rebbe
The very obvious point that she missed is that the Zionists invaded E”Y and made a tremendous disaster there for all its inhabitants, including the chassidim. The Zionists don’t belong there and never did.
So the very least that the Zionists should do is accommodate those who were negatively impacted (all Jews, really) by the Zionist State.
With respect, someone should tell the Rebbe that it is universally not acceptable to wear fur.
Did customs search his bags in Ben Gurion Airport?
Hope they will establish settlements in the West Bank. Also build Satmar Beit Midrash II in the West Bank.
The lashon hara On here is shreklach. You jerks should think before you’re mezalzel another Jew, rabbi or not. Do teshuva! And VIN shouldn’t allow this!
4 million dollars on him including all his zoftig looking chassidim I hope that plane was able to lift off the ground
Are you including in the invasion …the Chazan Ish, the Brisker Rav, The Steipler, The Gerer Rebbe, the Stoliner Rebber, the Rachmistrikvar etc??????
I have no problem with the roads being closed in the USA, or in Israel, to make way for the Satmar Rebbe, and his entourage. If they were inconvenienced for a short time, that is regretful. However, the Yidden, as well as the goyim to know what a Tsakik that man is!
