After the New Testaments were burned in Israel by the Orthodox Israelis, we now have the IsraelInsider publishing an article which calls the New Testament trash and garbage. What is the purpose of the IsraelInsider giving an orthodox Jew a PUBLIC MEDIA forum whereby he/she is allowed to spin and spew hatred toward Jesus Christ and the New Covenant other than to adversely provoke and incite others?
This is one of the most irresponsible pieces of journalism I have witnessed coming out of Israel. If the people who took the New Testaments from the Messianics did not want one, they could simply have said no thank you, or given them to someone who did want one. Was it really necessary to publically burn the Christian Holy Scriptures? And to add insult to injury, publically call the Christian Scriptures trash and garbage after the fact?
Harrassed by Christian missionaries, Israelis Take Out TheTrash
By Penina Taylor May 21, 2008
It was reported yesterday by several major news outlets that recently the religious Jews of Or Yehuda set fire to hundreds of copies of the New Testament and other missionary propaganda. Ha'aretz called it "the latest act of violence against Christian missionaries in the Holy Land."
Calev Myers, attorney representing the Messianic communities of Israel called for the people who did it to be brought to trial. But brought to trial for what? The people who burned these books and pamphlets broke no law. Despite the allusions being made to the burning of Jewish holy books during the times of the inquisition or the holocaust, there is absolutely no comparison here. The New Testaments and evangelistic leaflets had been basically thrown out -- they were unsolicited garbage, and there is no law against incinerating garbage, even by religious Jews, even in public. continues here
This is not freedom of the press, friends; the Israeli Insider is being equally as immoral as the guilty one(s) who burned The New Testament for printing this twisted version of the facts and trashing The New Testament in their media. Shame on them.
