  Neturei Karta   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Neturei Karta (Aramaic: "Guardians of the City") is a group of Orthodox Jews which not only rejects Zionism (as do many other orthodox communities), but actively opposes the State of Israel.
With their help, Neturei Karta was able to withstand paying taxes to the state that they did not recognize and conversely, to avoid obtaining any benefits from that state by revitalizing the halukah distribution of funds that characterized earlier generations.
Hirsch notes that there is a striking accord between the views of Neturei Karta and those of Fatah, which is the dominant party in the present Palestinian Authority: both seek to distinguish Judaism from Zionism, both favour a secular and nonsectarian government in Palestine.

 The Guardians of the City
