More info

Is there any way some one who knows alot about this topic can post some of the political idears within this party?

It really needs to be adjusted to reflect the passing of Rav Eliashiv Zatzal — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bennyb613 (talk • contribs) 19:48, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Boston?

Regarding Agudat Yisrael, this article says "The leading members of this party are the followers of the Ger, Vizhnitz, and Belz Hasidim." The article about Agudat Yisrael says "Political power is vested in the Hasidic Rebbes of Boston, Ger, Vizhnitz, and Belz." Not to split too many hairs, but I wonder if the leading members of Agudat Yisrael include any Bostoners. Leading members is an ambiguous term, but I assume it refers to those who are very active in the party rather than the rebbes themselves (who might be more influential than active).

More Infromation?

I agree with BennyB613. This article needs a lot more information and citations for veritability. This also needs to be updated. Can someone with a bit more knowledge of this subject edit this? It would help a lot.Imurmate | (talk) 19:09, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Right-wing not far-right

United Torah Judaism, while a deeply religious and conservative party that is increasingly more concerned with Israeli security, is hard to consider as a far-right party. For starters, UTJ has never explicitly labeled itself Zionist. Even the wiki it states that the Degel HaTorah (Banner of the Torah) party, one of the two main parties in the UTJ coalition, is named as a contrast to the flag of Israel. Its other partner, Agudat Yisrael, has always had a contentious relationship with Zionism. Many Haredi parties like UTJ or Bnei Torah, especially those with a strong support base in Jerusalem (which UTJ has), don't often affiliate with Zionism, even actively opposing it at times. We can see this both with how average Haredi Jews in Jerusalem are protesting potential conscription into the IDF and how conscription of Haredi Jews into the IDF is threatening Netanyau's emergency coalition, ESPECIALLY with members of UTJ. Thus, while I think it would be accurate for UTJ to be described as conservative and even right-wing, especially on issues related to the Chief Rabbinate, using public transportation on Shabbat, and Israeli pride parades, I wouldn't call it far-right because it lacks any commitment to either religious fundamentalism or ultranationalism, let alone both. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.141.4.65 (talk) 20:02, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
