Members of Jewish Sect Spend Weekend in Gaza to Show Support for Palestinians

The Associated Press reports today (January 3, 2010) that several members of an anti-Zionist sect have spent the Jewish Sabbath in Gaza with some of Israel's most bitter enemies, including the militant Islamic group Hamas.

Yisroel Dovid Weiss, a leader of the radical Neturei Karta, said that his group is in Gaza to show support for the Palestinian people.

The sect decries Israel's existence, because they believe Jews must live in exile without a country of their own until the coming of the Messiah.

Neturei Karta is believed to have a few thousand followers, and is mostly shunned by mainstream Judaism.
