Neturei Karta Defile The Memory of the Murdered

The madmen of Neturei Karta have used the massacre of eight innocent yeshiva students for their own perverse political gains.
Day and night over these past decades we have been pained and trying to prevent these terrible incidents in the camp of the Hebrews, because ever since the dispute and warring with the non-Jews began here in the Holy Land, they have been trying to avenge themselves with fury and wrath, and Jewish blood has been spilt like water all this time... Perhaps at such a bitter time as this, the time has come to take stock and to say to the Angel of Death, 'Stop!' Perhaps we have all been mistaken, perhaps we must recognize that our forefathers were correct during the 2,000 years of Exile in acting with the Gentiles by seeking only peace, mercy, and appeasement, and maybe we will then merit to have G-d sweeten our decree and prevent terrible calamities in the future among our brothers, the entire House of Israel.

We well know that by our perpetual acts of seeking peace and submission to the Gentiles, we have been suspected by many among the House of Israel as having aided those who murder [us], Heaven forbid - but what can we do that we are commanded by the Torah to look ahead; in order to prevent terrible things and to save the nation, we are marching in 'the path of Exile'... We wish you from the depths of our heart [Divine consolation] and may G-d strengthen your shattered hearts and may you know no more pain.
Effectively, they have the same opinion as Yossi Beilin - Don't fight back, it only makes them hate us more (as if that were possible).
I wish the Whole Wide World a Shabbat of true Shalom...
