Vandals have defaced the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem with graffiti denouncing Zionism.
Suspicion for the attack has fallen on radical ultra-Orthodox Jews who oppose the creation of the state of Israel.
I'm not Zionist, but it's not unheard for the ultra-orthodox Jews to be against Zionism. They don't think the time is right for Israel to exist because their Messiah hasn't appeared yet, like their holy texts state should happen.
Neturei Karta is a Jewish group formally created in Jerusalem, British Mandate of Palestine, in 1938, splitting off from Agudas Yisrael. Neturei Karta opposes Zionism and calls for a peaceful dismantling of the State of Israel, in the belief that Jews are forbidden to have their own state until the coming of the Messiah.

Next time you StormFronters claim that you're not anti-Semites, please remember how you all cheered people who vitiate the memory of the holocaust, people who claim that Hitler was right. Aren't you tired of being in constant denial? I say your useless opinions would gain much more validity if you have shown your true-colors; you don't care about Zionism, it's the very existence of Jews you're after. Otherwise, you wouldn't have cheered these anti-Semitic Jews.
You support the defacation of the memory of the holocaust. You don't get more anti-Semitic than that, short of advocating another holocaust, which you all do as well, under the title of anti-Zionism. Anti-Zionism is by far worse than anti-Semitism. The claim "I'm not an anti-Semite, just an anti-Zionist" is both pathetic and counterproductive, as anti-Zionism is worse. It's like you said "I don't just stink, I'm the worst kind of skunk imaginable". Better be overtly anti-Semitic than anti-Zionist.

A similar example could be if Christian fundies would be against what they perceived as Armageddon occurring if something like say, no one had the Mark of the Beast on their heads and hands. I really don't know if they would fight against it because of that reason, because it seems like Orthodox Jews are on a completely different level of fundamentalism than Christian fundamentalism.
Nuts is what it is.
There was another vandalism in Israel last week, but I can't find the link.edit on 11-6-2012 by satron because: (no reason given)
What is happening right now in the ME is prophecy beginning to breach fulfillment.
