Thank you for the links. It seems I missed the mark on that one.
Your definition of Zionism is almost certainly not what the word means in Israel
They are a minority in Israel, but powerful because they all vote as a block, so their votes are almost guaranteed.
They believe that their prayer and study provides divine protection to Jews in the land of Israel, so is better than military service. Most Israelis consider that bs and say that they are living for free off of the state.
Hopefully they leave the government in protest and trigger an early election. They are the only parties left keeping Netanyahu in power. (IE if any one of them left, he would lose the majority)
The vast majority of Hareidi Jews are Zionist. There are small groups totalling a few thousand who are Anti Zionist but live in Israel.
The Ultra Orthodox majority not only supports the state, but are represented by religious parties in the current government under Netanyahu.
Edit: Survey data shown below shows that although Hareidi Jews in Israel participate in the government, are represented by designated parties, and those parties are members of the current government under Netanyahu, the majority of those same people consider themselves either “not too” Zionist or “not at all” Zionist.
Its not true however. This is Neturei Karta, a small group of a few hundred members that has been denounced by even other Ultra Orthodox groups such as Satmar. Most ultra Orthodox Jews are Zionist [edit: based their participation in the state], although there is a minority who believe that the State of Israel is illegitimate because only God can create a Jewish State in the Land of Israel.

“Accused” by whom?
Just before he was detained on Wednesday, the alleged plotter Zúñiga sowed seeds of doubt, telling journalists – without providing evidence…
Burried in the EIGHTH paragraph, past the break. FML that should be in the headline, Guardian. Please do better.
Lukewarm, chilly…
No, source is linked in the comments.
Dunno, I think it was already pretty famous. The movie likely increased its notoriety a bit though.
It is weird. Lemmy is the second largest fedi platform, having long since passed Pixelfed. But it is rarely mentioned in articles like these. I’m not sure what makes it such the black sheep.
Yes.
I think not exactly - it appears to be a fork, or more correctly a patched version of the official Android version.
I use FFUpdater, but I’ve been planning to switch to obtainium, so I’m definitely following this.
Yes aleph posted links to survey data below that shows most Hareidi Jews do not consider themselves “somewhat” or “very” Zionist. Hence that statement. I was basing my statement on government participation. Hareidi Jews vote at or above national voting rates, and their parties (Shas and UTJ) are members of the governing coalition. Anti-Zionist parties (such as Ra’am) would never be willing to join a ruling coalition.
