It covers all spectrum's.

Their are the Religious Zionists that believe that the state of Israel is the precursor to the Messianic age and as such one must show full support and loyalty to the state.

Their are Haradim that while they were against the idea of a Jewish state realize that now that it is here one must work with it. These Jews have nothing against Israel, but prefer to keep it many of its social policies at arms lenght and away from their society.

And then their are the tiny fraction of anti-Zionists that to this day fight against the existence of Israel as a Jewish state.

The vast majority of orthodox Jews support the state of Israel- there are a couple of marginal sects that don't, but they are a minority. There is a very small sect that is insane enough to support Israel's enemies called Neturei Karta, which has around 500 members, that has been excommunicated by all other Orthodox Jews.

There are actually Ultra-Orthodox Jews who stand on the steps of the Kenesset (government) and deny the existence of the State of Israel.

The very orthodox do not recognise the state of Israel. The argument is that it was not given by Jahweh but taken by man.
