Naturei Carter, Yisrael Dovid Weiss, and Jimmy Carter.

Monsey, New York.

Sadly, it may be true, as Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss says, that "not all Jews are Zionists." Weiss also offers an argument that that "not all Jews are smart." It is ironic that the Rabbi's name, when rendered in English, is "Israel David Wise." He is against Israel. He is the polar opposite of King David. And he is wise in name only. His recent trip to Iran to participate in the "Holocaust Deniers Conference," also known as the "Conference of Nazis and Jews" violates every principle in Pirkey Avot, the book of Ethics of the Talmud.

But given that the Naturi Carter have such love for Achmadinejad and that they believe that Iran offers such benevolance to Jews, perhaps they should make an "Aliyah" of sorts to Iran. Maybe they could negotiate an exchange - they go to Iran and Syria, and the Syrian and Iranian Jews leave for Israel, Monsey, and Brooklyn.

If they do that, however, Weiss and his followers should leave their children here. First for reasons having to do with Jewish religious law, so the children can someday say "Kaddish," the traditional Jewish prayers, for their dead parents. And second because because it is illegal to endanger a child, and bringing a Jewish child to Iran or Syria is slightly more dangerous than say, Disneyland. Or Baghdad.

And they should turn down any real estate Achmadinejad offers them in the vicinity of Iran's nuclear weapons labs.

In the event that they don't want to go to Iran or Syria, but they want to leave Monsey, Weiss and his followers should consider Atlanta. The Carter Center is looking for a few "good" Jews. Weiss may get to hobnob with Jimmy Carter, or even a Saudi Prince.
