Orthodox Jews set fire to hundreds of copies of the New Testament in the latest act of violence against Christian missionaries in the Holy Land.
Or Yehuda, May, 20, 2008 (AP) - Orthodox Jews set fire to hundreds of copies of the New Testament in the latest act of violence against Christian missionaries in the Holy Land.
Yehuda Deputy Mayor Uzi Aharon said missionaries recently entered a neighborhood in the predominantly religious town of 34,000 in central Israel, distributing hundreds of New Testaments and missionary material. After receiving complaints, Aharon said, he got into a loudspeaker car last Thursday and drove through the neighborhood, urging people to turn over the material to Jewish religious students who went door to door to collect it. The books were dumped into a pile and set afire in a lot near a synagogue, he said.
The Israeli Maariv daily reported Tuesday that hundreds of Jewish religious school students took part in the book-burning. But Aharon told The Associated Press that only a few students were present, and that he was not there when the books were torched. Not all of the New Testaments that were collected were burned, but hundreds were, he said. He said he regretted the burning of the books, but called it a "commandment" to burn materials that urge Jews to convert. "I certainly don't denounce the burning of the booklets," he said. "I denounce those who distributed the booklets."
Earlier this year, the teenage son of a prominent Christian missionary was seriously wounded when a package bomb delivered to the family's West Bank home went off in his hands. Last year, arsonists burst into a Jerusalem church and set the building on fire. The same church was burned down 25 years ago by adherents of Orthodox Judaism.
HOFFMAN'S AFTERWORD
Notice this admission: "He ...called it a 'commandment' to burn materials that urge Jews to convert."
Where is this commandment found - in the Old Testament, which we are told is supposedly the holiest book of Judaism? Not at all. It's found in the Talmud, the actual rabbinic holy book. Why doesn't the media report this? Talmudism = totalitarian mind control.
Notice too the lack of outrage over this book-burning from Churchianity, the pope of Rome and the president of the United States. If Muslims or neo-Nazis had perpetrated this outrage, condemnation would have been world wide (and rightly so) and we reckon that demonstrations against it would have taken place in the streets of France, for example. In the US, talk show hosts would be livid and the pulpits would be brimming with indignation.
Ah, but "the West" is Talmudic, not Christian, although it clings to a Christian cultural facade. The "clash of civilizations" is between Islam and Talmudic Churchianity. Jesus has nothing to do with it. His Word is burned and when it comes to rabbinic assaults upon it, defenders of His Word are few and far between. It is the rabbis who are worshipped by Churchianity, not Jesus. They are more sacred by far.
Rabbis and your college professors are still wailing about the burning of the Talmud in the Middle Ages. The burning of hundreds of copies of the New Testament this month in "Israel" doesn't register, however, and will soon be down the memory hole.
