Not sure about that...

I've heard that they used to abuse women on buses in Jerusalem and try to force them to sit up the back of the bus. I think the anti-Zionist part of the Orthodox Jews is Neterei Karta.

I like them coz they recognise that Zionism is a very complicated thing, and that those who go 'Anti-Zionism = Anti-Semitism' are willfully ignoring that what exists now is political Zionism, an ugly and distorted religious and nationalist thing that relies on the dehumanization of Palestinians to thrive. I believe in Israel's right to exist just as much as I believe in Russia's right to exist, but if being appalled and disgusted with their treatment of innocent civilians makes me a hater of either, so be it.
