That's an interesting take on the Satmar!! I don't think they're that bad, I live near many. Not a very well liked bunch.

I however agree that using them in these demonstrations is a tad bit exploitative. I first saw one at a "free Palestine" rally in DC, and it make my stomach turn a bit to see them cheering along with the "long live the intifada!" crowd.
