At the height of the protests of Israel's actions in Gaza, I noticed an interesting sight on the streets of New York. There seemed to be what looked like Orthodox Jews holding signs against the nation of Israel in the midst of other protesters who were holding Palestinian flags. I decided to look into this, and here is what I discovered.
Yes, believe it or not, there is a very small group (possibly numbering in the low thousands) of Orthodox Jews known as Neturei Karta (Aramaic term meaning "Guardians of the City") who oppose the creation of the modern state of Israel. The basis for their opposition to the nation of Israel is their belief that the Jewish exile must continue until the Messiah comes to return the exiles to their land.
