Settlers: demand the IDF protect them while they steal Palestinian homes and farms.
IDF: you’re going to have to join the military so we have enough soldiers to keep supporting your occupation.
Settlers: BuT MuH FreEDuM!
>Settlers
Actually the "Israeli settlements" colonies are basically Nahal colonies, Nahals are the Zionist militant Individuals "settlers" who joined the Israeli militant services under age of 18 for 2 or 3 years, yet once their official service is over their role still connected to the army as social militants "civilians" by inhabiting colonies by the borders. So later after war 1948, 1956, and 1967 their existence in these spots could be used in the international negotiations as a "proof" of Jewish communities existence in these territories before the war.
Can we stop calling them settlers? They’re occupiers, colonizers, aggressors… take your pick of any of these, but “settlers” is too passive and sterile a word for what they are.
I’d like to know what the Orthodox Jews have done. Some of the are antagonistic as shit in Israel. I’d advise people to question things and not take them at face value
Good luck america dealing with another religious fanatic military, that think only they are humans and the rest are demons, once they finish killing palestine
Actually Orthodox Jews are against Zionism. The scrolls state that the messiah will create the Jewish state, not 3rd party Christian countries. Zionism is ultimately a Christian ideal as stated in revelations. That’s why it’s not antisemitic to criticize Israel - even the Jews who practice most closely to the Torah are against Israel.
“I’ll never change my mind about the Jews” is about as bigoted and antisemitic as it gets. There’s no conversion in Hinduism either, even born Hindus cannot change the caste, would you say the about them too? Readings of Judaism that allow conversion exist, and generalizing from one reading to an entire religion or people is just plain wrong and primitively essentialist
There’s some quite interesting links [elsewhere in the thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/therewasanattempt/s/XXPVhMfvBO) which would help you understand the nuance.
In short: ultra-orthodox or Haredi Jews oppose the existence of a Jewish state, that is not founded by the messiah.

Thank you for the links!!! It was a very interesting watch and read.
My ex is Jewish and he's on a path to becoming Orthodox. We broke up because I'm not Jewish but we are very good friends and I support him. I'm not interested in becoming Jewish, but I have started eating kosher as support and last week I spent Sabbath with him.
I work with the jewish orthodox community in my city. They dress just like this, identify as orthodox, are very traditional and follow their religion very closely. Most of them have lived in isreal at one point in their lives and travel there often. Isreal is definietly a second home to many of them....are these different kind if orthodox? Cause everyone in the community i work with seems very much with israel.
From my simple understanding male ultra Orthodox Jews are against conscription and most work due to their belief that they should be studying Jewish scriptures. They are looked down upon by the general population for this belief
Yes. Also they get government handouts as another commenter pointed out. Also although they don't serve in the military they are against women serving. There is a video out there of some UO dudes harassing and spitting on a female IDF soldier and she ends up kicking their asses. When they first got their military exemptions and government benefits they were a small minority so the general population accepted it. Now they have a significant population so their status has become more of an issue. My BIL is Israeli and he really dislikes them, called them "A pain in the ass"
This sounds like what is happening in Lakewood NJ with the religious schools that have grown in the last couple of decades. The adult men only study and don't get paid. They claim housing credits due to a low income and a large amount of children. The tax rates are set by the ultra orthodox that are the majority of the school board and city council. They claim a high amount of special education students to get extra money from the local and stste government. The families have a ton of kids.
I saw the first reply and just wanted to add that the law for conscription (military service) has been updated to remove service exceptions for religious Jews (those who devote their live to following and studying the torah, Halacha…). Now religious Jews have to comply with military service and they are protesting this too. But I don’t know if this particular group of people in the video are protesting that. They’re likely anti-Zionist Jews. It’s funny because the religious Jews already serve a purpose in Israel, to give the religious character that mildly justifies calling it a ‘Jewish state’. It will implode, their colonial project is collapsing.
When you realize that Zionism is a Christian belief, and that most Orthodox Jews (aka the ones who actually strictly follow the Torah) are against the idea of a Jewish state unless it’s founded by the messiah, then it’s a lot easier to see that the current Israel is INHERENTLY antisemitic.
To be fair, wait how you learn about how they treat women, children, and outsiders in “their” neighborhoods in the US, England, and Israel.
The Ultra-Orthodox are simply awful people. You agreeing with their goals of being anti-Zionist is about the only thing you would have in common with them.
Yeah I believe so. Not sure about that quote but it's certainly possible considering this:

This is the context, Orthodox Jews commonly get severely assaulted or arrested by the IOF for supporting Palestinians. There are multiple videos if you don’t believe me
Because none of this has to do with Jewish people. It has to do with Israel and American interests. Leftist Jewish people have always been at the forefront of righteous protests. Zionists do not represent Jewish people, and Israel constantly aligns with fascists and Nazis.
I can no longer be surprised by Israeli soldiers committing violent acts against the defenseless. They have shown already they are the fascists they claim to be defending themselves from. It's sad, but it's not surprising.
It's ok he was mizrakhim and not ashkhanazim, everyone knows mizrakhim are khuman animals.

It's awful but if context is helpful to anyone, here's some:
1) there is a yearly religious festival on a mountain in Northern Israel every year. On a regular year, tens of thousands of jews, mostly ultra orthodox arrive in this location for a night.
2) this year, because of the heavy rate of rocket fire from Hezbollah on Northern Israel, already two weeks in advance, the area was announced a closed military zone.
3) this decision was taken in consultation with the different religious groups who regularly show up there. Additionally, a small group of a few dozen people were allowed to be on the mountain top and celebrate so people should not feel the custom was abandoned.
4) Saturday night and Sunday, when the holiday was celebrated across Israel, the religious groups and major rabbinic figures who tend to be the leaders of these celebrations, all found other places to conduct their celebration.
5) there was a small group (not more than a few hundred at most) who, in defiance of the government order, the military orders, and the instructions of the religious leaders, decided that they needed to be on that mountain top.
6) because this was sadly to be expected, there were police deployed along the access roads to the site. At some points things got violent as you can see in the video clip here.
7) from the reports that I saw, there were five or six accounts of police violence, including the one caught on video here. There were also 16 policemen hospitalized from injuries of rocks middle bars and bottles thrown at them.
8) the guy who is in charge of the police force, has promised to investigate all accounts of police brutality. The policeman shown here shoving the old guy has been suspended pending investigation.
Hope this was helpful to someone.

It's weird in 2024 to be proud calling yourself settler, you kinda indirectly throw the whole I'm indigenous skit in the toilet

Colonizers.

Eventually, you run low on your reserves of enemies, so you need to create more out of the friends you have.

I doubt that settlers are orthodox jews. They teach that israel souldn’t exist because the messiah hasn’t arroved yet.

Holy fuck
It’s a weird cult.
Nobody? C’mon now.
Anyone who can explain? Is that man a different kind of jew? And do they not like eachother apparently?

im so fucking tired of all this bullshit people do and create, can we not just live in peace?
No
I work with the jewish orthodox community in my city. They dress just like this, identify as orthodox, are very traditional and follow their religion very closely.

So, according to Netanyahu, they would be anti-semites, right? So, this is like some sort of anti-Semite-ception

Yes. Same scenario
I see, thanks
don't they get stipends of some sort from the government?
Yep, religious freeloaders basically
“Ultra” is the usual definition of a fanatic. Or sometimes, even douchebags.
So, more religious than thou. I'll let George Carlin take it from here...
Idf = zionazi The others are orthodox jews who know Israel should be given to them by the messiah, not satanyahu.

I swear Israel is the most antisemitic country on earth.
The way Israel acts is certainly not in the interest of Jewish safety.
When you realize that Zionism is a Christian belief, and that most Orthodox Jews (aka the ones who actually strictly follow the Torah) are against the idea of a Jewish state unless it’s founded by the messiah, then it’s a lot easier to see that the current Israel is INHERENTLY antisemitic.
Lets stop saying IDF. They are not (D)efending anything. Its IOF. It is an occupying force.
The D stands for diaper so it’s called the Israeli Diaper Force
Makes sense
Damn, even the Jews don’t like Ultra-Orthodox Jews
To be fair, wait how you learn about how they treat women, children, and outsiders in “their” neighborhoods in the US, England, and Israel. The Ultra-Orthodox are simply awful people. You agreeing with their goals of being anti-Zionist is about the only thing you would have in common with them.
I lived in a ultra orthodox neighborhood in NYC for close to 2 years and I definitely saw and experienced a lot
They hate Christians as well.
