So the way I gathered it, there was a conference on the Holocaust held in Iran. Many of the speakers were holocaust deniers (which is stupid), and lots of Jewish groups were really upset about this. They complained about it from all their areas about the world. Neturei Karta went to the conference.
The one Rabbi spoke first, and said the holocaust happened, he lost grandparents and uncles in it, that Iran's gripe against Zionism is legitimate but people should not allow their hatred of Zionism lead to a dishonoring of the victims of the holocaust. He was then hugged by the President of Iran.
Okay, so how are these Neturei Karta people not heroes all over the Jewish world right now? Why are they not having parades for them thrown? Everyone else was complaining about holocaust denial from hundreds of miles away, they went and said it happened, and now they are villians. I miss how that works?
Is it just because they are NK and so can't do anything right in your eyes?

Neturei Karta is a splinter group of about 20 people in the whole world. They have been decried by all Jews, from the most religious to the most secular.
They represent no one and are funded by the worst anti-Semites.
The Iranian regime wants to eliminate the Jewish State. There are of course many decent Iranian citizens, and in particular those who belong to the religious minorities there
Their goal, as is the goal of all radical Islamists, is to Islamize the whole world. In support of this goal Ahmadinejad has declared publicly that he intends to wipe Israel off the face of the earth.
He must not be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons.
Once he deals with the Saturday people, you can rest assured that he will start working on the Sunday people.

Because they would rather have Israel be wiped off the map as per the Iranian president's plan than to have Israel exist before Moshiach comes to establish a non-secular Jewish state. It doesn't matter what they said, their motives were still impure. They are extremists and all extremists no matter what religion are bad. (Remember, these are the people that will throw rocks at the heads of tourists if said tourists happen to take a picture of their neighborhood, because they believe that we should not make graven images. That's all well and good, but they are innocent tourists and don't know any better.)

well, it might have to do with their spewing hatred of all jews who disagree with their psychotic views, their love of antisemitic propaganda, their demands that jews everywhere should be subservient non-jews, their belief that it is ordained by G-d that jews deserve to suffer humiliation and loathing at the hands of non-jews, their cooperation with terrorist groups and their acceptance of tens of thousands of dollars from people have sworn to wipe israeli jews off the map, their presence at a conference for holocaust denial, and the way they make out on camera with mahmoud ahmadinejad. when i saw that picture with the NK representative and mr. ahmadinejad with their lips locked i almost puked. i'm sure the next thing on their to-do list is to exhume some nazis and kiss them too.

Well, they dignified that racist "conference" with their presence for one.
No Jew should take part in such a conference. It's profane.
