In 2006, he participated in the International Conference to Review the Global Vision of the Holocaust, a Holocaust denial conference which was condemned by the US, Canada and the Vatican, where Friedman claimed the Holocaust was a "successful fiction," and that it is "legitimate to cast doubt on some of the statistics".His participation led Rabbi Yona Metzger, Chief Rabbi of Israel to call for Friedman and all members of Neturei Karta to be refused admittance to synagogues or Jewish institutions worldwide. .
His participation led Chief Rabbi of IsraelYona Metzger to call for Jews to not permit entry to synagogues worldwide to Friedman and all members of Neturei Karta. As a result of his participation, his children were expelled from the Talmud-Torah school they were attending in Austria where the family lived.
He is an Anti-Zionist who has stated "Politically and historically, the land of Palestine doesn't belong to the Jews and should be returned to Palestinians." Rabbi Yona Metzger, the Chief Rabbi of the State of Israel has stated that Friedman is not actually qualified as a Rabbi.
After leading an Orthodox community in Austria, he moved to Antwerp. In 2012, while living in Antwerp, he went to court and won a case that ordered a Jewish school for girls to admit his two sons or face heavy fines.
