    The Israel Police also suspect other members of the extreme sect who attended the meeting.
    Footage of the suspect's visit to Jenin was posted on social media earlier this week, and an investigation was subsequently opened.
    Police asked the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court on Thursday to remand the man to custody, claiming that the acts attributed to him were severe and that they were concerned he may obstruct the investigation.

    The group said that their visit was to stand in solidarity with the Palestinians in the face of the so-called Israeli oppression.
    "We are Palestinian Jews, we want to live under the Palestinian flag and not the Israeli flag, in one country which is the Palestinian state," a member of the group, which refuses to recognize Israel for religious reasons, said.

    Nope to trope
    Rod. Dear friend. NK are as anti haredi as you are, if not more so. And Nigel...next time you wish to repeat banal mantras of hate that ignore the complex underlying issues, please get your spelling right. It's p-a-r-a-s-i-t-e-s. Good luck to all..

    Actually not true
    Haredi/ultra-orthodox religious sects like Chabad also do not recognize the State of Israel, and believe that only when the Messiah arrives can a state be conceived. They are close to Neturei Karta, not that far off, regardless of how you think.

    They want to move..
    ..so why not help the haredi sect to move and settle under the pal's banner. Then their wishes will blossom in their new situation, and at the end they must choose conversion just to stay alive as suspected agents....under pal's banner...at the al-aksa site....
