STATEMENT FROM AGUDATH ISRAEL OF AMERICA       There should be no need to state the following, but to avoid any misconceptions in the media or among members of the public, Agudath Israel of America proclaims strongly and unequivocally that the visibly Jewish men who regularly appear publicly with virulent anti-Semites and claim to represent Jewish Orthodoxy not only do not represent anyone but themselves but are a disgrace to the Jewish people. Most recently, they presented themselves at the much and properly vilified Holocaust denial conference in Teheran, where widely-disseminated photographs captured the pitiful spectacle of their greeting and shaking hands with Irans demonic president.  Neither their professed determination to protect the interests of Jews nor their haredi garb can obscure the fact that all they accomplish is to offer succor and support to people who eagerly wish to do grave harm to Jews. There are many groups within the Orthodox community, and they represent widely differing positions on the concept of political and religious Zionism.  All responsible Orthodox groups, however, have condemned the group at issue in no uncertain terms.  Agudath Israel joins in that condemnation and declares that the group is not only deeply misguided and misleading of the public but dangerous to the true interests of the Jewish People.
