I’m a little lost, I’ve heard there was a religious group in Israel that despite not participating in the IDF are some of the worst reactionaries in the knesset; are the Ultra-Orthodox that group? I’m reading some posts in this thread that this group has people in it that are pro-Palestine? I’m lost on this one.
I’m also lost and dumb. But as I understand both groups exist. There are the ultra nationalist Orthodox that are also the main group settling the West Bank. Then there are other Orthodox groups that are religious but not nationalist, i.e. they are actually educated and seem to realize that God doesn’t want all Palestinians to die.
All of the Orthodox groups have been exempt up until now. But I definitely think they want them to enlist not just for numbers but as others suggest as the opportunity for re-education
I think there are like 8 versions of the ultra Orthodox, not to mention I think they tend to get super anal about which rabbi they descend from ideologically. It’s hard generalizing a diaspora when you aren’t a member of it.

The ones who dislike the state and the IDF believe it’s an illegitimate entity because they were propped up by humans and not god.

Anti-zionism is not necessarily pro Palestine. But yeah, most of the haredi over there are anti-zionist.
