ISRAEL. Anti autopsy demonstrations.Jerusalem. 1967. - Jerusalem.May 1967.Orthodox jews demonstrating against autopsies, in the Mea Shearim district of the city.A demonstration by ultra-orthodox Jews against autopsies, Jerusalem.Ultra Orthodox Jews - a category that in fact includes many different communities - are non Zionist or anti Zionist. Though they identify with the biblical land of Israel, many believe there should not be a Jewish state until the Messiah arrives.They do, however, participate in Israeli politics to pursue their own goals.Because Israel's multiparty system usually means that their support is required to form a coalition government, they wield more political power than their numbers in the population would suggest (under 5 percent, a quarter of those who identify themselves as observant).Subjects that touch off protests among the Ultra Orthodox include driving near religious neighborhoods on the Sabbath, autopsies, archaeological digs that may disturb ancient Jewish graves, and recognition of the Reform and Conservative mevements in Judaism. - Micha Bar Am
