They have ideological commitment. I think there will probably gonna be some more riots if they continue to try to conscript them.

Not reform here, im reconstructionist. But yeah lots of Reform jews are Zionist and many many Conservative Jews are highly zionist as well.

To add to this, yeah Israel has done a lot of work to make people conflate Judaism as a religion with Zionism and muddying the waters, when Zionism is first and foremost a secular settler colonialist ideology.

You might be thinking of Karaites, which is a split from Rabbinical Judaism and they only think the Torah is valid and not the Talmud.

Karaites are a SUPER small religion worldwide, off the top of my head I'd say probably a couple thousand people. (Edit: more then I thought I guess, Wikipedia says 50k max)

The Haredi are definitely rabbinical Jews like 99% of jews worldwide and Talmud is extremely important.

Like important to the point where they dont even work a job, their wives work so they can study their entire life. But yeah "studying Torah" is just a shorthand for Torah + Talmud study.

This is what I've been trying to express but poorly, this is much more succinct.

Haredi don't tend to migrate in large numbers, and the last big wave was in the 50s. Most of them were born there. Their parents + grandparents + great grandparents mostly moved there either during Mandatory Palestine or right after Israel was established as a state. Most of the Jews moving to Israel recently are American and European reform/conservative Jews.

Most Haredi oppose Zionism as like a core principle. They think that only the Messiah can establish Israel, not humans.

But some that are born there live there for the same reason your average Death To America left type broke white person still lives in America.
