I had NO idea until I went to the parade this year. Apparently the hasidics believe Israel cannot be a Jewish State until the Messiah comes and calls Israel “illegal”.

I am in about the 9th or 10th row down, 2nd from left with my “protest” sign. Look down 2 rows below that, on the right and see them. There are plenty of pics of them.
Excellent pic! LOL I bet shmucky got whip lash turning his head the other way.
The pics of the hasadic jews are just bizarre. They must be insane!

Just a small note. The people you saw are part of an anti-Zionist Haredi group called Neturei Karta. They number between maybe 4,500 - 5,000 and their beliefs are in no way indicative of all Haredim.
