[Peace-discuss] Re: Chabad

[n.dahlheim at mchsi.com]

 I live here in NYC, and I have had a couple of encounters with people from Chabad.  The Chabad movement is very cultish---they practically worship their late Rebbe.  They are fanatics and paranoid extremists.  They do a lot to give Jews a very bad image and name.  An Israeli friend of mine complained that they are taking over many parts of Israel----shutting down trains on Sabbath for instance.   Chabad searches for people to take in, and they indoctrinate them.  They certainly are as formidable an enemy of peace in the Holy Land as Hamas.
