Jews Who Hate Jews
As another day passes, I've lived a little longer, learned a little more and realized that the world is even a more bizarre place than I had thought the day before. Meet Neturei Karta, a group of Jews, living for the most part in Jerusalem, but having followers scattered around the world. They are completely against Zionism.
The Neturei Karta believe themselves to be extremely religious. They believe that god originally drove the Jews out of Israel because of their sins, and only the coming of the Messiah will restore the Jews to their homeland. Any attempts by people to restore Israel is therefore an affront to god from their perspective. They believe this so strongly, that they support the PLO and Iran's position of anti-Zionism.
Check out the Wikipedia reference to the group, and read the history. Religion and modern politics are so intertwined that this feels like a story someone made up.
