We see Orthodox Jews burning Israeli flags in protest...why are they being ignored by the media? Zionism is in no way related to Judaism! A racist regime that promotes apartheid and ethnic cleansing is truly against true Jewish morality, the Jewish Zionist leader is not that much different for the Christian Nazi leader or the Muslim Talban leader.

And to those who believe in the 'supremacy' of the Jewish race, the 'Jewish' gene called the Cohen gene has actually been found in Palestines, and many Arabs, infact the 'Cohen' gene has spread to many other nations around the world, so the suicide bomber or even the President of Iran could very well be about as 'Jewish' as the Ashkenazi Jews.
From a religious perspective, many of the religious Orthodox Jews are against Zionism, and Israel is just another secular state. A secular state that promotes ethnic cleansing and apartheid.
What is your take on this?

You make a very valid point. Zionism is a racist apartheid system. They also own a lot of the Media. That is one very big reason why you do not see these things. A caution though. Using terms like Zionist even though it is accurate and factual will make some see you as a racist. They have been conditioned by the Media to accept that anything at all that is negative and connected to the Eastern European Jews who live in Israel is a bad thing. It is a sad truth that many have no idea what Zionism is really about.

Well, my take on the genetics issue is that you are even more ignorant on the issue than I am, but at least I have the intelligence to realize that it has absolutely nothing to do with your original point.
As is the case, the media has not ignored the Orthodox Jews who are seen in such extreme acts as you mention (or worse, e.g. cuddling up to the president of Iran).
What the media DOES ignore is exactly how insignificant this particular group (they are called the "Neturei Karta" are). To give you an idea how insignificant they are, let me clue you in on the Orthodox Jewish view of Zionism.
A majority of Orthodox Jews are either Zionist or non Zionist (that means they are not that opposed to it but do not follow that political ideology). A minority are anti Zionist. Within that minority are the Neturei Karta. Satmar, the "gold standard" of anti Zionist Orthodoxy (if there can be such a thing) has gone on record to CONDEMN the Neturei Karta for their antics. With their last antics (that would be the Iran thing) they have been BANNED from entering Satmar synagogues.
Yet these clowns still get their press time and fools like you complain that they are not given enough press time. What gives?

The US has invested everything into Israel and we are now simply followers in the Zionist cause. To bad.
The news media ignores a lot of things such as Jews that are against Zionism. Such as good news from Iraq. Or anything that shows President Bush in a good light.
Btw, why does the US give China "most favored nation" status and yet blocks out Cuba? Quite moronic.

Its simple- Neturei Karta are a tiny fringe group of fanatics- at last count there membership wa sunder 100 since they have been put in cherem (a form of excommunication) by most Jewish sects. Since they are such a tiny frnge group of fanatics, they don't get media time since they don't deserve it.
Now, if Satmar (a chassidic group) protested against Israel they would get media time since they are around 100,000 strong and very cohesive- but while they may not be Zionists, they will not add to anti-Semitism by protesting against their fellow Jews (particularly since Neturei Karta used to join in with them and then claimed that the huge crowds agreed with their hate speech against other Jews).
And Israel does NOT promote ethnic cleansing or Apartheid (around 1 million of Israeli CITIZENS are ARABS with full rights. Their is no distinction in Osraeli law between them and anyone else.)

because Zionist Jews control the media and they pretend that the non-Zionists are an insignificant minority.
You will probably get answers from the Jewish who will insist that almost all Jews support Zion.
