What's the Hebrew Word for "Quisling?"
Is this guy nuts???
MONSEY, N.Y. — The photograph is jarring, to say the least. Why on earth would a rabbi from New York travel to Tehran to embrace Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, a man who says the Holocaust never happened and that Israel should be annihilated?
In Rockland County, N.Y., a short drive north from New York City, "love thy neighbor" has been a hard commandment to follow in the weeks since a contingent of fringe religious leaders set out to shake the Iranian president's hand.
This small suburban county has the highest percentage of Jews in the nation, and many if not most of them have been seething since leaders of the ultra-Orthodox sect Neturei Karta (also here) attended the Holocaust conference in Tehran and seemingly lent their support to known Holocaust deniers.
Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss led the Neturei Karta delegation to Iran's capital on Dec. 11 to participate in a two-day conference on whether the Holocaust occurred. Among the other attendees were former Ku Klux Klan Imperial Wizard David Duke and French professor and gas-chamber denier Robert Fuerisson.

Hebrew for Quisling probably could be bui8lt from "Yisroel Dovid Weiss" (although, since I knew a Weiss who was an actual Holocaust survivor--his son was a childhood buddy of mine--that'd be a shame... )
How about we hang the dude, and then deny Ahmadinejad ever existed?
