There is at least one group of anti-Zionist (against a state of Israel) orthodox Jewish group. This doesn't say what are his affiliations.
He renounced his Israeli citizenship so that's likely not so in a legal sense.
Well, Yasser Arafat wasn’t really a Palestinian either. He was born in Cairo, to an Egyptian father.
Yes, traitor is the only word to describe this POS!!!
My guess is that he won't last very long in the environment he has chosen for himself.
He’s not a Jew. He converted to Islam.
