When I search this, I just see protests against conscription

u/MilesTheDistance 6h ago

There are orthodox folk who are staunchly anti zionist

u/Altruistic-Exit3518 6h ago edited 6h ago

Sure, just doubting the title of this video, if it's even real

u/Cool-Ferret2589 6h ago

But they are in Jerusalem... to some, anti-Zionism means being against the existence of Israel.

3

u/cockypock_aioli 5h ago

Well those people are idiots. Zionism does not mean being against the existence of Israel. Also, Jerusalem is not the sole property of Jews. It is a holy site for all 3 Abrahamic religions. Jerusalem should be an international site akin to a world unesco site. Israel is slowly trying to take over the whole of Jerusalem but it's wrong an ahistorical.

u/Hexent_Armana 5h ago

Well...judging by the effect the country is having on the rest of the world maybe that wouldn't be the worst thing ever.

Though I'd rather Israel just chill TF out instead.

u/Cool-Ferret2589 5h ago

I live in a predominantly Muslim country, and sometimes I have this conversation with people, most are staunchly against the existence of Israel and I remind them that millions of Jews are middle eastern and north African descendants.

I don't think most people think that far.

u/RockAndBok 6h ago

By definition antizionism (and “anti-Zionism”) are opposition to the existence of Israel.

2

u/Active_Unit_9498 6h ago

These are not them so don't post pointless information. These are ALL Zionists, fighting over whether Ultra-orthodox Chabad types should have to serve in the Israeli military or not.

u/Eastern-Advice-3017 6h ago

Yes but those are not them.
You mean Neturei Karta** **but those are not them

u/Kaleb_Bunt 2h ago

Yeah but most of them aren’t pro Palestine.

u/ATechnicalSquid 6h ago

They are anti military. Not anti zionist. Zionist just means he believe Isreal should exist. That shouldn't be controversial. What he opposes is military action

u/Altruistic-Exit3518 6h ago

Israel shouldn't exist

u/ATechnicalSquid 6h ago

That simply makes you a nazi.

u/polarice5 5h ago

America, Britain, Australia, etc., do not have a right to exist. They can be dissolved tomorrow and the people within those borders will organize to create something new. Saying that a country does not have a right to exist is not saying that the populace should be harmed. People are not their country. The country is simply their extension.

The whole argument of "does Israel have a right to exist?" is just a distraction from what Israel is doing as a political entity.

For example:

"I am staunchly opposed to Israel's warmongering in the middle east and their treatment of the Palestinian people."

"So you don't think Israel has a right to exist?"

It's just another distraction tactic, no different from "Do you condemn KHAAMAS?!"

Widespread slaughter is the product of a political entity. People are criticizing the political entity. It, like all other political entities, does not have a right to exist.

Imagine this tactic used at an HOA.

"Do we really need to pay so much for brush clearing?"

"Do you not think the HOA has a right to exist?!"

u/cockypock_aioli 5h ago

It is a bit baffling why Israel exists though. Especially when you learn the history that led to its creation. At this point Israel already exists so it's not going anywhere but it should exist as a secular country with equal rights for all in the region and not as an explicitly Jewish ethno-state.

2

u/whattheydeserve_ 4h ago

> not as an explicitly Jewish ethno-state

I'm always confused by this bit because what do you actually mean? Apart from the 20% Arab Israelis, we have all sorts of jews that were refugees/migrants from surrounding Arab states and that got their citizenship explicitly on the ground of them being jews. So that mean they no longer get to be citizen and are going to be expelled back to the arab states?

Also, the ethno-state claim is always off to me. Which ethnicity in particular? Are all the jews in israel the same ethnicity now?

1

u/cockypock_aioli 4h ago

Israel is an ethno-state. That is different from a nation-state with a particular ethnic majority. There should be no ethno-states anywhere in the world. There should not be muslim theocracies, there should be no hindu-nationalist state, there should be no christian nationalist state, there should be no Jewish ethno-state. Read about the difference between an ethno-state and nation-state and you'll see the difference. And yes, getting citizenship based on being Jewish is bullshit, just as getting citizenship anywhere on the basis of religion should be bullshit.

1

u/whattheydeserve_ 4h ago

Haha, is this a bot? you literally ignored my questions and proceeded to repeat the same thing as before? So which ethnicity forms the Israeli "ethnostate"?

1

u/cockypock_aioli 4h ago

Jews consider themselves an ethno-religion. So the answer is broadly the Jews.

This is an attempt to normalize antisemitism and pretend it isnt a big deal, and an overreaction.

u/The_Submentalist 6h ago

There are many anti zionist Jews because of their interpretation of the Talmud. The Meshiagh, the Jewish Messiah, is the one that's going to build the third temple. Zionists believe that they don't need to wait for the Meshiagh. They believe they can speed things up.

u/Warm_Afternoon6596 6h ago

So...kinda like Evangelicals?

u/Outrageous-Sort-5742 6h ago

There's a lot of overlap.

u/Particular_Dare2736 5h ago

You are wrong. There are heredi orthodox here already that are anti-Zionist. They are very few but they exist.

1

u/Mobile-Analyst8580 5h ago

That’s not what it means. 

1

u/cockypock_aioli 5h ago

That is not what Zionism means. Educate yourself and don't buy into Israeli propaganda. Many Israeli officials have already admitted this out loud.

1

u/ATechnicalSquid 2h ago

This is a nazi.

u/VitaViolet 3h ago

Zionism is the belief that Israel can be taken back whereas Orthodox Jews believe forcing themselves onto the land subverts God's plan. You can't rush armageddon, no matter what Kegsbreath says.

u/hoosier_catholic 5h ago

This dispute has absolutely nothing to do with Palestine. This dispute is about military drafting.

u/octoreadit 5h ago

Also this video is ancient.

1

u/Ok-Completion 5h ago

Drafting for what?

4

u/hoosier_catholic 5h ago

Mandatory service in the IDF

1

u/16198008455 5h ago

So, killing Palestinians.

3

u/hoosier_catholic 5h ago

These same hasidem make up the bulk of settlers in the West Bank; so, don't take their reluctance to be drafted is in charity of Palestinians lol

2

u/DribbleYourTribble 4h ago

The Orthodox community isn't trying to protect Palestinians or feel the war is unjust. They just feel that they are suppose to be constantly exercising their religion without the burden of IDF service.

7

u/dawgblogit 6h ago

No they are not.   They don't believe in serving... they are protesting sending their people to the front. These are the same people who are settling Palestinian areas

u/Eastern-Advice-3017 6h ago

There is no mentioning in the video about Palestinian fake post

u/Fun_Trick2172 5h ago

Yeah nothing to do with being pro-palestinian. These are free riders that cause most of the trouble in the settlement area refusing to serve in a war they helped start, and when the area is properly ethnically cleansed will move right in and set up shop.

u/SinclairSummerset 6h ago

An out-of-shape cop beating down civilians. Gotta love Benny's government.

2

u/Hexent_Armana 5h ago

The US Government probably hates this post because it makes the government that owns the presodent look bad. They REALLY want the world to believe Zioists (the modern day nazis) and literally all jewish people are one and the same.

Probably best to not trust anyone in the comments. If they're not bots they could still be part of the crowd sourced propoganda program in Israel. 

2

u/LangstonHublot 6h ago

God's chosen people huh...

u/Galitzianer0 6h ago

Just for anyone that thinks chosen denotes superiority, being "chosen" in the context of Judaism means having to follow additional commandments, not that Jews think they're better than others

Chosen to do the dishes, as it were.

Just because they’re “standing in solidarity” doesn’t mean they get a pass. They’re the same.

u/CaliOranges510 6h ago

Your comment is an actual example of anti-semitism. That’s like saying all Muslims are the same as the ones who perpetrated 9/11.

2

u/nDeadPurple 6h ago

These aren’t the people dropping bombs or ordering attacks, they’re being attacked by the same people dropping bombs. The IDF might be Jewish, but not all Jewish people are IDF.

That being said there may have been a point where these men supported the attacks. But to stand in solidarity with the victims shows me that they are trying to be better, and trying to lead by example.

u/Dry_Yogurt2458 6h ago

The orthodox Jews have NEVER been Zionists. There core belief is that the jewish people should not have a homeland.

1

u/trymypi 5h ago

This is false. You're talking about a particular sect of extreme Orthodox.

1

u/nDeadPurple 5h ago

I didn’t know that, thank you.

I do know that Isreal didn’t exist before WW2. It was created so the Jewish people would have a safe place in the world. I also know that Isreal wasted no time violently expanding its borders. I ALSO know that not all Jewish people could be blamed or judged for the actions of a governing few. It’s easy to recognize the influence of propaganda and how messaging has warped the opinions of civilians.

u/_trashcan 4h ago edited 3h ago

to clarify for you :

We have issues with Israeli’s ; not Jews. Israeli’s being Jewish is not why people hate them.

2nd, you can definitely blame the general population of Israel. 80-93% of all Israeli citizens openly support the genocide.
In Israel, from childhood, they are raised to believe that Israel is a beacon of righteousness surrounded by filth. They are taught to believe that every single Palestinian is worthless - terrorists lying in wait, they openly believe that killing children is righteous so as not to let them grow up & take up arms against Israel. There are thousands of clips prominent Israeli’s speaking such beliefs.
They are invaders. & if nothing else, every single person on earth is born with the inalienable right to resist occupation by other people, by any means necessary. There is nothing more natural in human nature than fighting for your freedom, fighting against your oppressors. It’s one of the most natural instincts a human being has.

Israel is a failed state at this point. They’d be a fucking crater if it weren’t for US military support. They’d have no iron dome, nor the interceptors to arm it even if they miraculously constructed it alone.
Israel is a rotten society, from the core to the outer layers. It is a textbook supremacist ethnostate.

To folks like me, it’s never been about Judaism.
Make no mistake, there is antisemitism, all across the political spectrum. I’m not denying it exists.
But the idea that criticism is inherently antisemitic is just exhausting to me & likeminded folks.
It’s not their religion that bothers the world, it’s their behavior.

Sidenote : I’ve always found it funny how they are so quick to label something as antisemitism, but when it comes to their own bigotry, they have no issues using Islam as a catch-all in their rhetoric.
It’s never “Iranians”, or “Lebanese”; it’s Muslims as a population, as a religion.
It’s ironic they engage in the behavior that they are constantly projecting onto anyone that stands against Israel.

No they aren't. They're following "know better, do better" and standing up. No one is all the same in a country.
