Neturei Karta: IDF Conducting Ethnic Cleansing In Gaza
The anti-Zionist Orthodox faction Neturei Karta denounced Thursday IDF operations in Gaza as "ethnic cleansing."

Established in 1935, Neturei Karta is an Orthodox Jewish group that rejects Zionism and calls for the peaceful dismantling of Israel, citing Jews are forbidden from having their own state until the coming of the Messiah.

"We are appalled by the terrorist massacre performed by the Zionists in Gaza. This ferocious act is just one in a long line of oppressive acts of ethnic cleansing performed against the Palestinian people since 1948 by the evil Zionist movement," said their statement.

The statement was issued on Wednesday, following the IDF operation in Gaza, in which 20 Palestinians were killed.

The official statement also carried a paragraph directed at hard-line Hamas leader Mahmoud al-Zahar, whose son was killed in the attack, saying the group condemns the "Zionist brutality."

2. I wouldn't take Neturei Karta's word for anything much...
They are a bunch of fundie nutcases. It's like taking Pat Robertson seriously.

4. That's right
Quote Jews only if they hate Israel.

Otherwise, their opinion makes them a part of the "Zionist cabal" like AIPAC or....shudder....the ADL.
