WE'RE THE 'TRUE JEWS,' SAY SECT MEMBERS
The anti-Zionist group whose Rockland County synagogue went up in flames is a tiny ultra-Orthodox Jewish sect whose activist members have embraced Israel's enemies.
The Neturei Karta, or "Guardians of the City," believe God ordered Jews banished from the Land of Israel and that it is heresy to end the exile and create the state of Israel until the Messiah arrives.
"The true Jews are against dispossessing the Arabs of their land and homes," the group's Web site says. "According to the Torah, the land should be returned to them."
David Pollock, associate executive director of the Jewish Community Relations Council, said Neturei Karta members "do what they can to support enemies of Israel, including the PLO and Iran . . . They would be very happy to live in Palestine under Arab rule."
Last December, Neturei Karta sparked fury in the Jewish community when several members attended a Holocaust-denial conference in Tehran sponsored by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has called for Israel to be "wiped off the map."
Neturei Karta has publicly denied it supports Holocaust-denial.
The Satmar Hasidim also are anti-Zionist. But the chief judge of the Satmar Rabbinical Court, Grand Rabbi Zalmen Leib Teitelbaum, denounced Neturei Karta for attending the conference, declaring it was "on a downward spiral with acts of lunacy."

Williamsburg or Afghanistan?
An excerpt from an article in the Forbes Magazine 4/16/07 where a situation in Afghanistan sounds strikingly similar to a situation in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
"...Because Afghanistan had no access to printing plants, Roshan had to rely on promotional services in Dubai, a two-and-a-half-hour flight away. An early billboard showing a man and a woman with a cell phone drew outrage when it went up in the northeast province of Kunduz; residents threw black paint all over it. Lesson: no women on billboards..."

Bomb rocks Jewish center in Montreal
A homemade bomb exploded outside a Jewish community center in Montreal in the middle of Passover week, injuring no one and causing little damage, police said Wednesday.
Workers at the Ben Weider Jewish Community Center reported hearing an explosion late Tuesday night.
"A homemade bomb exploded and there was a small fire," police spokesman Lynne Labelle said.
Labelle said they have not determined whether it was a hate crime.
Police are reviewing footage from the community center's security cameras.
With the explosion coming two days before the third anniversary of the firebombing of Montreal's United Talmud Torahs elementary school library, many in the Jewish community are concerned.
Steven Slimovitch, national legal counsel for B'nai Brith Canada, is calling the incident a hate crime although he acknowledges there is no evidence yet to support that belief.
"We're certain that it is a crime that has all the earmarks of a hate crime," Slimovitch said.
"It is an explosive device that was left at a visibly identifiable Jewish institution, during a well-known Jewish holiday, roughly three years to the day after the bombing of the United Talmud Torahs."
Jewish institutions around the city put several security measures in place after the United Talmud Torahs was torched in April 2004. Three people were eventually arrested.
Security measures were further heightened last fall when another Hasidic school was firebombed.
In its annual audit of anti-Semitism, B'nai Brith identified a 70 percent increase in anti-Semitic incidents last year in Quebec and a 12.8 percent rise in Canada.

No more Lipa Schmeltzer ringtones on your cellphone
In a new piece of legislation proposed by Councilman David Yassky, personal cellphone ringtones will be outlawed in New York City. Yassky's proposition calls for the City sanctioning four ringtones that all New Yorker's will share. The proposed legislation, which is intended to curb noise pollution, will levy hefty fines against anyone that uses a different ringtone.
