‘1,000 Americans coming’
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3101969,00.html

Messianic Lubavitchers vow to thwart pullout as Hasidic movement grapples with internal debate over anti-disengagement battle. Leading rabbi says thousand Hasidim to come from New York, head to Gaza

<snip>

"The Hasidic movement is currently embroiled in a biting internal debate regarding the suitable response to the upcoming Gaza Strip and northern West Bank disengagement, Ynet has found.

The controversy pits the movement’s leadership, which adopted a moderate line, against more radical, messianic Lubavitchers who have vowed to “stop the pullout with our bodies."

<snip>

"Rabbi Shalom Dov Wolpe from Kiryat Gat, who is among the messianic branch’s top leaders, is expected to lead the active resistance to the pullout and has called on soldiers to refuse evacuation orders.
Wolpe is coordinating his moves with rabbi Yekutiel Rap, who he refers to as “our man in New York”. Rap is planning to bring a thousand Hasidic Jews to Israel to join the anti-pullout battle.

Wolpe says security forces would be unable to stop a thousand Americans at the airport and would have to allow them into the country.

“We’ll stop the disengagement with our bodies when we bring hundreds of thousands of Hasidim to Gush Katif and northern Samaria,” he says. “About one thousands Hasidim will arrive from New York alone, God willing.”

i would love to "bash" some of them around.....nothing gets me more pissed than having some religious wakos living elsewhere, coming here and endangering me and my family, and then leave. (well ok...there are other things as well, like when they stay)

and i would gladly volunteer to be with those that get to face them (trouble is there would be a lot of us....I would probably have to wait in line....)

ok this is was just an emotional reaction.....to the wako religious nuts who believe their messiah who was buried a couple of years ago is going to show himself "any minute now"....
