Neturei Karta

From Conservapedia

Neturi Karta (Aramaic: נתורי קרתא; lit. guards of the gate) is an anti-Zionist sect of ultra-orthodox Jews. They believe that Zionism is demonic^[1]. They support the destruction of Israel on the basis that only God can set up the Israeli state, through the Messiah. The Rabbis of Neturi Karta publicly support Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has called for Israel to be "wiped off the map". They also back his claim that the Zionist Jews exploit the Holocaust^[2]. They cheer for Palestinian suicide bombers and burn Israeli flags on a regular basis. Recently, one of their synagogues in New York City was burned. They claim it was a terrorist attack and a hate crime, but officials suspect it was accidental^[3]. In March, one of their Rabbis was beaten in Poland by two Polish Jews^[4].
