Kesher Talk

Traitors. Naturei Karta are the small gaggle of ultra-Orthodox Jews who regularly appear at anti-Israel rallies supporting the anti-Israel movements. They believe it is blasphemous to establish a Jewish state until the coming of the Messiah. This used to be mainstream Orthodox doctrine until Rav Kook and others created religious Zionist theology, and is still held by some Orthodox sects even in Israel, but the vast majority of Orthodox Jews would never express displeasure with Zionism by supporting Arab terrorists. Except for the 30-40 kooks at NK, a tiny fringe who have been denounced by most other Orthodox groups.

Anyway, now it comes to light that they are actually being paid by Arafat. I think the word "traitor" accurately describes this behavior.
