This statement is not quite accurate. 
Ultra-orthodox Jews also believe in the Genesis account of creation.
And we should not forget Khumeini and his followers, they all belong 
to the creationists' crowd.

The Ultra-orthodox in Israel tried, unsuccessfully, to introduce
creationism pseudo-science into the public school curriculum.
(If they were successful they could potentially endanger Israel's
security, as Israel's existence depends heavily on science and
technology.)

I also read that the Ultra-orthodox in Israel were planning a
creationism conference.  American creationists (Fundamental
Christians) were supposed to speak in that conference.  This
seems to be a bizarre situation, considering the deep rooted
Ultra-orthodox Jews' resentment of Christianity!
