   You meant kibbitz.

   Neturei Karta is a small Haredi Jewish group formally created in 1935, that opposes Zionism and calls for a dismantling of the State of Israel, in the belief that Jews are forbidden to have their own state until the coming of the Messiah. This wingnuts are no better than the Chistine O’Donnell’s that we have right here in DE, except while they oppose the Israeli government, they have their greedy hands out for all of the government money they can get.

   Neturei Karta stresses what is said in the mussaf Shemona Esrei of Yom Tov, that because of their sins the Jewish people went into exile from the Land of Israel (“umipnei chatoeinu golinu meiartzeinu”). Additionally, they maintain the view – basing it on the Babylonian Talmud [6] – that any form of forceful recapture of the Land of Israel is a violation of divine will. They believe that the restoration of the Land of Israel to the Jews should only happen with the coming of the Messiah, not by self-determination.

   I know that I shouldn’t speak ill of my fellow Jews (I’ll repent on Yom Kippur), but these few are as bad as the (im)Moral Majority, et al.

   DV, you should have gotten a more legitimate source.

   Right MJ, and all those Jews marching in NYC tomorrow, and have been marching around the world are all wingnuts, while the zionist war criminals are terrorizing all their neighbors.

   What they resent is that Zionism has stolen their Jewish faith. Even the most intellectual Jews who planned the protest in NYC know that zionism is causing hatred for all Jews worldwide.

   Jews say, Not in Our Name in opposition to the zionists, as our Peace protestors here said, Not in My Name when the bush neo con zionsts invaded Iraq.
