And as if it is proves anything at all, many Jewish self-haters post and share pictures of Neturei Karta Chasidim at anti-Israel rallies. For those of you who don’t know, this radical Chasidic sect, is vehemently anti-Zionist and so, anti the State of Israel. A good number of them actually live in Israel, and sponge off the government as they travel the world to lambaste the country that is too democratic to just kick them the hell out. “Hey look! Here are some Jews, even Rabbis, who hate Israel!”

To my minimal knowledge on the topic, this comment misrepresents the Chasidic objection to the secular Israel (as legally constituted) for its lack of compliance to Torah. Some may in fact hate non compliant Jews but I don't know that and suspect that sentiments vary considerably. I'm pretty sure they detest the Marxists in their midst.

You may be correct. You may want to comment on the article at the original website and ask the author; I know he will answer you. Here is the link to this story (I accidentally put on the wrong title to it):
