1) As an example of open support from satmar to the TTJ Consider this, as you watch the clips and slide shows on the website of the TTJ from the numerous demonstrations called by satmar, you will - in almost every instant - come across a sign with the TTJ web site plugged and even sometimes the banner behind the head table was dedicated to the TTJ group”
[1] The Forth picture is the one with the head table back banner for TTJ
2) Another example these letters:
File:Traditional Jews Appalled by Connection to Israel.pdf
Published by the TTJ in the Washington post and the Washington times with signatures of three leading and most senior of satmer rabbi’s each one in there own respect.
Take for example Rabbi Nathan Joseph Meisels of blessed memory (he passed away just this week) he was the chief dean of the yeshiva (rabbinical college) from ??? Until his retirement in 1982.
The position of chief dean can be characterized as the second in commend of the dynasty, given the fact, that at that time almost 100% son’s of satmar’s studied in this college.
In addition, he was a very close confidant and personal adviser to the Rabbi, Rabbi Joel (of blessed memory) on all aspects and on anti-Zionist issue’s in particular.
In fact, the famous - and one of the most important in regards to anti Zionism - book published by the Rabbi, Al HaGeulah V'Al HaTemurah was written and published by Rabbi Nathan Joseph Meisels.
Rabbi Mayer Weberman (may god grant him a complete health recovery), was the only English speaker at most anti-Zionist demonstration called by satmar, which makes him the face to the media or the press secretary if you will, when it comes to satmar, the media, and anti-Zionism. (A clip from one such speech can be heard here [2]
In addition, until recently (when he fell ill) Rabbi Weberman was the official censor of the satmar boys & girl’s school’s, censoring all - secular studies - books for Zionist and adult content.
Rabbi Abraham Leitner, probably one of the most revered and respected student’s of the Rabbi, Rabbi Joel (of blessed memory) still living among us. . (A clip from one such speech can be heard here [3]
The group chose to take signatures from the most senior rabbis in respect to the satmar battle with the Zionists state.
