Nationalist activists slammed Neturei Karta leader Moshe Hirsch who passed away Sunday.
Rabbi of the city of Safed, Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu said that Hirsch should be buried outside the cemetery boundaries just as suicides and violent criminals are buried. “This man separated himself from the Jewish people. The name of the wicked should rot,” he said. Meanwhile nationalist activist Itamar Ben Gevir said that “Hirsch was a wicked man who was an enemy of Israel.”
Hirsch had met with both PLO leader Yasser Arafat and Iranian leader Mahmud Achmadinejab and called on them to destroy the Jewish state.
