NEW YORK (JTA) What do murderous anti-Semites and yeshiva education activists have in common? Nothing at all. But you wouldnt know that from recent comments by prominent members of the haredi Orthodox community, who have taken to connecting the recent spate of anti-Semitic attacks to those who advocate for improved curricula at Hasidic yeshivas, including myself and others whose entire elementary and high school education took place within such schools

Yisrael Beiteinu party leader Avigdor Lieberman depicts himself as a leader of efforts to curb draft exemptions to ultra-Orthodox yeshiva students. He even scuttled the formation of two coalition governments over the issue, but a Haaretz investigation found that, while he was defense minister, his office arranged military exemptions for hundreds of ultra-Orthodox men.

Photo Credit: Wikimedia {Originally posted to the Abu Yehuda website} Anshel Pfeffer, a very smart guy and one of the few writers that regularly appears in Haaretz who is worth reading, does not believe in Zionism.

Zionism isnt an ideology

In the United States, The Cognitive Campaign to Co-opt Zionism is in full force.
