Rabbi Lando's anti-Zionist remarks stir Israel election row

Footage of Rabbi Dov Lando, spiritual leader of Degel HaTorah, questioning whether Jews needed a state has ignited a political storm three weeks before Israel's October 27 election. The 96-year-old also said religious Zionist soldiers were killed because their rabbis taught a distorted Torah. His remarks resurface amid fierce debate over ultra-Orthodox military exemptions.
