Neturei Karta, an ultra-Orthodox Jewish organization, rejects Zionism and supports Palestinians resisting occupation, according to Al Jazeera English. The group, which operates outside mainstream Israeli and Jewish institutional structures, frames its opposition to Zionism as rooted in religious doctrine rather than political ideology.
Members argue that a Jewish state established through secular nationalism contradicts religious law and that the occupation of Palestinian territories violates Jewish ethical teachings. The organization has drawn international attention for its visible presence at pro-Palestinian demonstrations and its theological critique of Israel's founding and current policies.
