      Ok, so a third of settlers are Ultra orthodox. That means the majority, two thirds, aren’t, and the statistics for what percentage of ultra orthodox Jews are settlers are still not present in this conversation. Just to make it clear, there are many legitimate reasons to hate Ultra orthodox Judaism. Just trying to make sure it’s for the right reasons and not a scarecrow.

          I didn’t say I hated anyone either. I hate the ideology of Ultra orthodox Judaism, not any individual person. Mostly for the harm it causes to people and animals, but also because it isn’t true.
