    Your definition of Zionism is almost certainly not what the word means in Israel

      I mean, probably, yeah that’s a safe bet.

      But I meant you replied to me and said one thing, and someone else replied to me saying the exact opposite.

      But yeah, you seem to know what you’re talking about and I was curious. So thanks for answering my questions.

        Yes aleph posted links to survey data below that shows most Hareidi Jews do not consider themselves “somewhat” or “very” Zionist. Hence that statement. I was basing my statement on government participation. Hareidi Jews vote at or above national voting rates, and their parties (Shas and UTJ) are members of the governing coalition. Anti-Zionist parties (such as Ra’am) would never be willing to join a ruling coalition.
