Talk:Haredim and Zionism

message: There is clearly a disagreement here about Sephardic Haredim. First of all, I have removed the following sentence:
:"In contrast to real Zionist parties, Shas has expressed a willingness to agree to land-for-peace negotiations, and former Shas chairman Aryeh Deri was highly praised by Palestinian negotiators."
As I have already said, Zionist parties such as Meretz, Kadima, Avoda, and now, under Benjamin Netanyahu, the Likud, have all advocated the principle of land for peace. To argue that "real Zionists" do not support land for peace is absurd. It is also clearly NPOV since it makes a determination about who is a "real" Zionist and who is a "fake" Zionist which, with all due respect Piz, you are neither qualified nor permitted to make. Please stop reverting to this nonsensical statement.
Secondly, I have once again restroed the section about Rav Ovaida's position on Hallel on Yom Ha'atzmaut. The quote which you sourced from Yabia Omer specifically says (emphasis added):
:Yabia Omer, part 6: ""כיוצא בזה ראיתי בשו``ת ישכיל עבדי ח``ו (או``ח סי` י אות ז) שג``כ העלה שאין לגמור ההלל בתוך תפלת יום העצמאות אפי` בלא ברכה, מפני שעדיין אויבינו קמים עלינו לכלותינו, ואין לך יום שאין קללתו מרובה מחבירו, ועונותינו הטו אלה, כי היצר הצורר בעוכרינו להסית את ישראל מדרכי ה` וכו`, ומכיון שאין כאן אלא אתחלתא דגאולה, ואינה גאולה שלמה לכל עם ישראל, לכן אין לתקן לומר הלל גמור בתוך התפלה אפי` בלי ברכה, ורק אפשר לומר מזמורי ההלל לאחר סיום התפלה, בלי ברכה, כי פשוט שאין לנו להכנס בספק ברכה לבטלה. עכ``ד".
The parts in bold say: "One should not say a full Hallel in the tfila, even without a blessing", and, "One may say Hallel after the end of the tfila, without a blessing." So please stop saying that Rav Yosef "opposes" saying Hallel - that is not a proposition born out by the source which you cite.Sstr (talk) 03:54, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Sephardic Haredim and "Real Zionists"

message: I deleted all references that ger vizhnits or any other hareidi support Zionism because they join the Keneset, this is a false POV by very extreme elements who make this accusation unjustly on all those groups they are opposed to Zionism and its state, but they also vote to get money for the Torah institutions but not at all saying that the Zionists are good this is a lie. Please don't revert it without any source.--יודל 00:02, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Most Hareidim still don't support Zionism nor its state

message: We need to fix the sephardim section - add Yaakov Hillel (a famous Sefardi anti-Zionist), as well as lbcl"c the Baba Sali, and the Sephardi Eida Chareidis. Also, the school (something Yoel) - the sephardi school that doesn't take any money from the govmt. Why does the article say no sephardi opposition. Also, Ovadia Yosef used to be a big kanoi; maybe this should be mentioned? Lobbuss 10:06, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: the word opposition means something more active or voicefull not just an opinion, i think they are not more opposing in this then vizhnits ger and all other hareidim unless u can find sources.--יודל 11:42, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The jpost blog article was simply false, as many of the responders to it said. The writer was totally ignorant and simply IGNORED the entire Sefardi opposition to Zionism. That's the Zionist way of handling criticism: simply deny that the criticism exists. You have vandalized my previous version. Please stop doing that. --Eidah 13:43, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Sefardim

message: They used to be plain Mizrachi guys with little kippot, shirts and sandals, and the girls wearing short sleeves and nude lower legs. That's pretty much the definition of Modern Orthodox. And are you really going to claim that they are no longer Religious Zionists?! They don't believe in Religious Zionism any more?! --Eidah 13:43, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: They are not MO's. MO's is mostly an American thing. In Israel, the RZ are not neccesarily MO's. In addition, the fact that they are Chardalim show that they're not MO, but Charedi in hashkafah. I would venture to say that they are primarily from the RZ camp, but also from the growing camp of American olim who don't fit into the pure Charedi mold. Yossiea (talk) 13:46, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That's what I am saying - they USED TO BE modern orthodox. Israeli RZ *is* Modern-Orthodox. Machon Meir, Merkaz HaRav etc, IS modern-orthodox. If the women there wear short sleeves and skirts barely covering the knees, the guys wear plain t-shirts and sandals and shorts and small kippot, then that is called modern-orthodox and that is not by any standards 'Haredi'. What I am saying is that they USED TO BE like that, and they left that, and started becoming stricter in these things: dress, and other things such as shabbat observance and kashrut and general halachic things. You fail to understand that America/the OU does not have the copyright to the term 'modern orthodox' - Israel has 'modern orthodoxy' also, and the vast majority of the settlement movement still falls under that category. --Eidah 13:49, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I understand what you're saying, but you are incorrect. RZ and MO ARE NOT ONE AND THE SAME. Some MO's are RZ, some MO's are not RZ's. Some RZ's are MO and some RZ's are not MO. Dress is irrelevant. Again, they're chardalim because that's how they identify. They are from the RZ camp, not the MO camp. There is no MO camp. There are Charedim, Chassidim, Litvaks and RZ. MO doesn't really fit in. Yossiea (talk) 13:52, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree with Eida on this one, MO they were before becoming Hardel, nothink has changed in regards to their Zionism beliefs. Most religious Zionists are in the category of the American modern orthodox, modern orthodox has nothing to do with America its simply a term described of orthedox jews who a'rnt Hariedim. So Yosias edits are false uncalled and simply out of line to revert it from MO to RZ, please stop doing it--יודל 15:07, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Yossiea: Hardal

message: Yidisheryid: we have previously had big wars about this here. We came to the conclusion that the best thing to do would be to divide the section about Haredi groups in 1 section about those groups which typically adopt a pragmatically supportive stance vis-a-vis the state (such as Ger, Belz, the Litvaks, Klausenburg, Chabad), and those groups which typically adopt a negative, opposing stance vis-a-vis the state (such as Satmar, Dushinsky, Neturei Karta, and organizations such as the Edah and the CRC). Could you explain exactly why you keep completely destroying this division? Further: Dushinsky is a separate group, just as Satmar is a separate group. Further: the CRC is not a subdivision of Satmar. Yossiea, I ask you also to look at this and thus to revert the order of the groups to my previous version, which was made in consensus and which 'Yidisheryid' keeps messing up. --Eidah 13:43, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Dear eida, i have no issue on the sections just a few chabad i can see in devided but al other Hasidim cannot be divided because they are the same opinion towards Zionism, crc isn't even a different group they are just a rabbinic organisation controlled and comprised mainly by satmar so i would not give it a separate header, we cannot make sections for a the satmar rabbis and organizations that have been expressing somewhere sometime a statement about this issue why make so much headers to inflate your cause please consider that their are other people here reading this who will get the false picture that satmar is huge and bigger and more then others which isn't true let all stamar ideas and statement be under their respective section. i agree that Eidaa groupd should not be part of satmar since they are a organizing organization of all those jerusalem groups, dushinsky included, which are indeed opposed to Zionism, why make dushinsky extra group? are they not just like Toldos ahron and other eidanikas?! and stop using the word consensus as if i am not part in this process, everybody can revert minor thinks without talk pages until somebody explains why its not a minor edit which u only now did and i successfully answered--יודל 15:20, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Check the way it was *before* he started messing things up. We had a list of "groups that typically support the State of Israel" (such as the Litvishe, Ger, Belz, Chabad) and list of "groups that typically oppose the State of Israel" (such as Satmar). That was the consensus we had. Now look at the way things are! It's a huge MESS now! --Eidah 13:51, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I beg u not to just revert al my edits to that Inst because that list was slanderous unsourced POV, they do not support any form of Zionism. it is an opinion and i agree some satmars are by this opinion, but don't write it down as fact, u can write that the satmars look at them as supportive of Zionism but not as given fact that they are indeed which they are not, i dont have sources that they aren't, but i may and i am obligated to erase those accusations even though most users want it inside.--יודל 15:25, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Yossiea, at this point I am unsure how your actions are any different from those of Yasheryid.  You are both edit warring, and at least he is offering explanation for his edits using edit summaries.  You, on the other hand, are simply rolling back his edits with no explanation other than "discuss on the talk page" (and, worse, describing them as "vandalism" when they clearly are not).  Please explain on this talk page just why the entirety of his edits are unacceptable to you. Neil ム 14:30, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  This article was heavily edited before and protected as well. We came to a consensus using the talk page and the article is pretty much "final." His edits are extremely controversial and he is not discussing it beforehand. All I am doing is reverting to a prior acceptable edit and telling him to discuss his changed on the talk page. This is a fairly large talk page and many things were discussed. He is not interested in discussions, he is interested in pushing his POV across. Yossiea (talk) 14:34, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  my edits are only controversial in your single issue of Hardel which was addressed by me and user Eida, unfortunately he is blocked now but u were clearly in the minority on this point, on the other disgreements i have spoken here above to the respective users and sections please don't try to block this article.--יודל 14:43, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Hardal 

message: The section headed "Groups which are generally supportive of the State of Israel" starts with Ger and Belz. Later on the article says that Hamodia publishes articles attacking Zionism. Since Hamodia is a Gerrer-controlled paper, this is inconsistent. An earlier section lists Chazon Ish et al as "opposed to the State of Israel" notwithstanding that these same Litvishe leaders approved of voitng in Israeli elections. The article needs to distinguish voting and participation in the democratic process, on the one hand, from support for Zionism, on the other. The two are not synonymous. --Redaktor 14:46, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

One can be supportive of the state and still continue the old hundred-year-old argument. Rabbi Porush z"l, the leader of Agudah, did in fact come close to calling Agudah Zionist.

thread_title: U Tube videos

message: This seems to be almost a coalition of anti-Haredi Zionists and anti-Zionist Haredim to give a rather lopsided picture. I recently heard an academic lecture at which the lecturer (a woman in full Dati Leumi regalia) has done a study which showed that Haredim participated in all aspects of the state including the underground and the illegal immigration. The people in the DP camps were tired of running, and didn't want to go anywhere but Israel - there are plenty of sources for this.
Participation in the Army was higher than now, not lower. For one thing, there were few exemptions before Menachem Begin. There used to be Gerer units. The Ponovitcher Rov is widely quoted as not saying Tachanun on Yom Ha'atzmaut. And Hesder is Dai Leumi (except for half of Shala'avim); you are thinking of Nachal Heredi.
Also, please differentiate between anti-Israel and anti-(or non-)Zionist. Agudah-type publications (how come no-one mentions Mishpacha?) are very pro-Israel, at the same time as they attack the movement. I was in Meah Shearim during the shelling in 1980 that led to the First Lebanon War, and they were saying Tehilim for three days straight.
Finally, this is all if one defines Haredi based on Zionism (which I believe to be correct). If one considers Chassidim Haredi, then I recommend the (positive) article that appears in Kulmus (supplement to Hamodia or Mishpacha) last Pasach which mentioned the Zionist (and socialist!) Chasidim who founded Kiryat Ata (just North of me) and K'far Chasisim.

thread_title:  Rav Moredchai Eliyahu is Chareidi? 

message: Hi anon. The Edah, and affiliated groups, strongly oppose Zionism. Not secular Zionism - but all forms of Zionism. Our viewpoint is that it is forbidden for Jews to rule over the Land of Israel, forbidden to organize massive immigrations to the Land of Israel, forbidden for Jews to oppose/rebel against the peoples of the world, and more, until the coming of the Messiah. Our opposition to Zionism has absolutely nothing to do with it being secular or it being so-called 'religious' Zionism. For us, 'religious Zionism' falls into the same category as kosher pork.

message: This article is in need of a major overhaul. There is some decent information here, and I suggest we keep a lot of it, but the article as a whole is not encyclopedic. Virtually all references are to Haredi groups' websites, almost invariably anti-Zionist Haredi groups. These have a place in an article like this - we can say that Haredi group X takes position Y, and use a Haredi website as the source. But these kinds of sources cannot be the foundation of an objective article. I strongly suggest that we look for published, reputable, academic sources, rather than relying exclusively on the websites of Haredim that have a stake in this dispute. In the next few weeks I will be making changes based on these principles, and would welcome any help or comments. Sstr (talk) 07:45, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

message: from the ny times it said "Other Western “revisionists” presented what they called new facts about the Holocaust at the conference, which also attracted attendees from some ultra-Orthodox Jews belonging to anti-Zionist sects that reject the state of Israel." calling new facts about the holocaust meaning that they say holocaust is a lie if you didnt understood that mean and  which also attracted attendees from some ultra-Orthodox Jews belonging to anti-Zionist sects means that the anti zionist sects also believe. new facts about the holocaust mean holocaust denial if you didnt read this quote right.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.246.133.234 (talk) 01:35, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Dispute 

message: We have "Around 80% of Israeli Jews identify as secular, and of the 20% who identity as religious, 6% are Haredi."  Taken literally, that means only 6% of 20%, or 1.2% of the population, are Haredi, which is a ridiculously low figure.  On the other hand, it is an accurate report of the source (Yates).  The solution to this is that the source (which appears to be a student paper) is bunk, as is easily seen by examining the citation (Ben-Rafael)  it gives.  There we read entirely different figures: "As recent findings have shown, about half (51%) see themselves as “non-religious”, one-third— 32%—opt for a “traditional” category, one-tenth, or 11%, perceive themselves as “religious”, and a small minority of 6% choose the label of “ultra-Orthodox”. The ultra-Orthodox (who represent approximately 7-7.5% of the population) tend to be underrepresented in survey samples as they generally avoid being interviewed (especially the women).  Accounting for this, each of the other categories should be estimated by half a percentage less."  So Yates preposterously included "traditional" in "secular" and entirely misreported the "6%".

replies: text: You have stats from the Israeli Bureau of Statistics, and they have very different figures for people over 20 (in 2009): 42% seculars, 25% non-religious traditional, 12% religious traditional, 12% national-religious, 9% haredim. Other studies give similar figures. Haredim are now estimated to be 12% of the Jewish population. Benjil (talk) 16:15, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

: According to a 2012 Democracy Index survey: 62% of Haredi Jews in Israel claim to be Zionists as well.https://www.inn.co.il/news/243783 This is likely to be seriously out of date as Israeli Haredim now volunteer for the army in increasing numbers, even though this is controversial 
Reason: The fact that Settler News published something doesn't make it true, and in any case the 2012 Democracy Index is readily available in both Hebrew and English so we can check it for ourselves. I have failed to locate the 62% in this survey, and instead found a statement in the text that contradicts it (page 29 in the English version: "the ultra-Orthodox, who classify themselves mostly as non-Zionist"). Can anyone suggest where the 62% comes from?  The second part "This is likely..." is an editorial comment that is not allowed here. I agree that we should use a more recent version of the Democracy Index, which appears every year.
