[It may seem preposterous to some, but you can look it up. The founders of Israel followed the East European Socialist line and had no use for Judaism or Jews who observed the religion. Back in the day, when planes arrived with a contingent of religious immigrants (from Yemen , e.g.), leftwing apparatchiks were waiting on the tarmac to shave off their payot, and from there took other measures to strip them of their religious practices - only too successfully. Today, that tradition continues and has now leached into sectors of the so-called "rightwing" community who have found common cause with the left on the subject of Jews who are seriously observant. This has morphed into the demonization of the "settlers," most of whom are pious Jews with a deeply held belief that Israel belongs to the Jews, and actually live like it does in Judea and Samaria. df]
