"#NetureiKarta, which has been estimated at around 100 members, has been doctrinally #antiZionist since long before #Hamas#Oct7, 2023 attack that launched the war in #Gaza. While anti-#Zionist #Jewish groups have reported significant growth since the beginning of the #Gaza war, according to surveys, most American #Jews feel an attachment to #Israel even as many disapprove of #Israeli government policy.

Other, much larger #Hasidic movements eschew #Zionism, but Neturei Karta is unique in consistently showing up to protest Israel and adopting the language and symbols of pro-#Palestinian activism.

The group’s leadership has met multiple times with the leaders of #Iran, an #Islamic theocracy and Israel’s chief regional adversary, including former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who denied the #Holocaust. The group faced particular backlash, as well as condemnation from #haredi leaders, in 2007 for appearing at an #Iranian conference centered on Holocaust denial.”

NEW YORK (AP) — A federal judge said the #Trump administration’s effort to deport #MahmoudKhalil because of his pro-#Palestinian activism at #ColumbiaUniversity likely violates the #Constitution.

In a lengthy order issued Wednesday, Judge Michael Farbiarz wrote the government’s primary justification for removing Khalil — that his beliefs may pose a threat to U.S. foreign policy — could open the door to vague and arbitrary enforcement.
