Neturi Karta (Aramaic: נתורי קרתא; lit. guards of the gate) is an anti-Zionist alliance of Orthodox anti-Zionist religious groups in Jerusalem. Thgey are devout Jews who above all they fear that the ancient identity of the Jews as a 'chosen people' would be substituted by an Israeli national identity; they believe that the establishment of a Jewish state is contrary to the teachings of the Torah.
