Al Jazeera Documentary Examines Neturei Karta, Ultra-Orthodox Group That Rejects Zionism
A new Al Jazeera World film looks at Neturei Karta, an ultra-Orthodox Jewish movement that opposes the State of Israel on religious grounds and has voiced support for Palestinians.
Al Jazeera has released a documentary titled "Neturei Karta: Opposing Zionism," which examines an ultra-Orthodox Jewish group that rejects Zionism, according to the network.
According to Al Jazeera's description of the film, Neturei Karta opposes the founding principles of the State of Israel and has expressed support for Palestinians in their struggle against occupation.
The documentary, part of the Al Jazeera World series, was published on the network's website on September 16, according to Al Jazeera.
Neturei Karta is a small ultra-Orthodox Jewish faction whose members hold that the establishment of a Jewish state before the arrival of the Messiah violates religious teachings, a position that has placed the group at odds with mainstream Zionist Jewish communities and with the State of Israel, Al Jazeera reported.
The film reportedly goes inside the group to explore its beliefs and its stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, according to the network's description.
Al Jazeera did not provide further details in the excerpt regarding the group's size, history, or specific activities beyond its rejection of Zionism and expressed solidarity with Palestinians.
