(IsraelNN.com) Leaders of the Satmer Chassidic sect released a statement Friday condemning the visit of a Neturei Karta delegation to Tehran last week for Iran's Holocaust Conference.



Those who participated in the conference, which saw a panoply of anti-Semites gather to deny the Holocaust, “trampled on the memory of their ancestors and people. They embraced the disciplines and followers of their murderers," a statement by an official Satmer group said.



Similarly, the Agudath Israel of America condemned the visit as well. “Neither the Neturei Karta's professed determination to protect the interests of Jews nor their hareidi garb can obscure the fact that all they accomplish is to offer succor and support to people who eagerly wish to do grave harm to Jews,” a statement by the group said.
