Haredims and Kahanists ?
✡ Hindu Zionist ॐ:
I want to clear some concepts here. According to information i researched over the internet... The Haredims seem to be very close to Jewish belief, and they seem more pro-active. (In a way that they respond to injustice meted out on the jews). Given that Kahanists are not very much allowed to put their philosophy into actions in Israel today. Haredims do seem to bring some hope.
Unfortunately there is lot of propoganda on the internet. Read through some sources that Haredims are not exactly Zionists. Also that haredims are disconnected from the local israeli populace (is this true?). But they would do anything to protect jewish life, something that should be done by all means in Israel.
So where do Haredims and Kahanists stand when it comes to national key issues?

Ir really depends on who you talk to. There are levels of charedism. For the most part, the ones I know are pretty much Zionists, too. I mean all (normal) Jews want Israel to prosper and other Jews to be happy.

Rabbi Kahane always said that "the Haredim are irrelevant!". And shame to tell, this is basically true!
Witness the 2005 Hitnatkut: apart from a handful of Lubavitchers, not one Haredi took part in the demonstrations against the dastardly Gaza Deportation of their fellow Jews.
Had even a few % of the Haredim with their vast numbers taken part, it would have blocked the whole deportation.
There were no calls at all by Haredi leaders, politicians, rebbes, ravs or roshei yeshivahs to demonstrate. And the Haredi parties kept Sharon's government afloat during it, in exchange for $$$!

Rabbi Ya'akof Yosef Shalita, Rabbi Morechai Eliyahu Shalita HaShem Yishmerehu V'Yechayehu, Rabbi Dov Wolpe Shalita openly support Kahanism and admire Rabbi Kahana.
Also there is a large group called Charedim Leumi'im who are mostly Kahanists and Rabbi Kahana himself was a Chareidi Le'umi. There are many Charedim who live in Judea and Samaria and the Chabad, Breslvev etc Hasiduyot are awesome.
