Hardal anti-Zionism
A recent ideological faction has arisen among the Hardal community of Israel defined by its rejection of Israeli governmental authority, opposition to secular Zionism, support for Jewish theocracy, separatism, Haredi ideological leanings, and willingness to utilize violence to enforce Jewish control of the Land of Israel.[1][2]
The faction derives its origins from the Religious Zionist movement, specifically the teachings of Rabbi Zvi Yehuda Kook, son of Rabbi Avraham Kook. However, due to the State of Israel repeatedly conceding territory to Arab nations and deconstructing Israeli settlements, many followers of Rabbi Kook felt disillusioned with Zionism.[3][4]
