Haredims and Kahanists ?
Zelhar:
There is a relatively small group of Charedim that are anti-zionist, isolated, and they don't even vote for the knesset. But even the other Charedim are politically very selfish. I mean they vote monolithically to the same two hideous parties (Yahadut hatorah- for ashkenazim, Shas- for sfaradim). They might send thousands of people to block the construction of a new rail road building or whatever if there is an old and likely not even Jewish burial site, but when the government destroys living settlements including their synagogues and grave yard, and expel righteous religious Jews from their homes- the Charedim are silent.

that is exactly what i observed from internet reports. Haredims would react strongly to Messanics activities, evengilical churches, but no protest over mosques or muslim settlements in gaza. Although i do endorse the stand taken by haredims against missionaries. But then why dont they apply the same yardstick to muslims?

I'm not too familiar with those guys, but anybody with the word "shlita" after his name usually has big impact with the masses.
Lisa:
If that small group of Charedim are anti-zionist, why do they even bother living in Israel? Why don't they go live somewhere else?

Yes. Rabbi Ya'akov is already well known since he's the son of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef Shalita.
Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu is well known in the Dati-Leumi+Modern Orthodox+Haredi Leumi/etc groups. He's the spiritual leader of the Religious Zionists. Also he was he Sephardic chief Rabbi before Rabbi Ovadia Yosef. A HUGE Rabbi.
Rabbi Dov Wolpe is a huge Chabad leader, the head of an organization working for saving the Jewish people and the State of Israel aka "המטה להצלת העם הארץ". Also he's the leader of "Our Eretz Israel" movement which is a part of the National Union. MK Rabbi Michael Ben Ari is also a memeber of it.
PS: Rabbi Ya'akov Yosef is also a memeber of the spiritual leadership of the National Union, and also Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu, Rabbi Dov Li'or Shalita, The huge Rabbi Baruch Zalman Melamed Shaltia.
