Hirsch is gone.

The colorful almost clown like head of the Extreme wing of anti-Israel Orthodox Jews has died. Moshe Hirsch also known to some as Rabbi Moshe Hirsch passed away. This organization called Neturie Karta believed that any manifestation of Jewish nationalism before the coming of the Messiah was wrong and contradictory to Judaism. Where this man and his followers received this info and direction is not completely clear. The very outspoken leader of The Satmar movement Rabbi Yoel Titlebaum though virulently against the state of Israel was also against the Neturie Karta because of their political connections to Arab terror groups.
Hirsch was unswayed by other rabbis in every section of Jewish tradition who said that his actions were completely off the mark. Many viewed him as a sad comical figure who was being used for propaganda by Israel enemies as a show piece.
He will be remembered as a small piece of the complicated process of the ingathering of the exiles.
There were those that were happy at his demise though they should have been instead sad at a life dedicated to acts of perfidity against his own people.
