Give them a large enough donation ($18 for 10 months) and they’ll send you a special book cover.

Nonetheless, the fact that the IDF granted him permission to enter the Palestinian Authority controlled Area says a lot about Israel’s commitment to democracy and free speech.

There is something a bit fishy about this story, one possible legal pretext for the police seizure may very well be residential zoning laws, Yad L’Achim’s seizure about missionaries is an altogether different matter!

Shim’on Cohen of the Ashkelon city council welcomed, Thursday, a raid by police on Wednesday, in which missionary material was seized at an apartment on Olei Hagardom Street in the city’s Shimshon neighborhood. Police were responding to information provided by the anti-missionary group Yad L’Achim.

Interviewed by Arutz Sheva’s Hebrew service, Cohen – who witnessed the raid – said, ”I received a frantic phone call from a friend who told me about a group of missionaries who came to the neighborhood and distributes missionary material from the apartment.” He continued, ”We called the Ashkelon Police, who arrived within three minutes.”

Yad L’Achim warn of being baptised into Christianity by Messianic Jewish passover food!

During Passover this year Yad L’Achim were at it again with their over-the-top hysteria-mongering.

This time the propagandists at Yad L’Achim were warning about being confused by Christianity whilst at the same time claiming those who attended a seder meal run by Messianic Jews would be baptised by food!

Yad L’Achim are terrified by Messianic Jewish seders:

“The shocking public seders organized by the missionaries in a number of places, the main one being on Rechov Yefet in Yafo, are terrifying. They only proves that it is incumbent on all of us to push for legislation of a missionary law that bans such activities.”

Well Yad L’Achim certainly know how to make a meal out of things!

There is one brave man with his biker helmet on using traditional biker language at 1:10.

At 1:36 we see the Missionary nature of Yad L’Achim as they want no other competition for their Jewish Rabbi they claim is Messiah. Yeshua is such a threat to their apparently fragile faith they cannot tolerate other daring to believe differently from them.

Haredi Orthodox burn Israeli flag in Antwerp

May 14, 2012

THE HAGUE (JTA) – Dozens of haredi Orthodox schoolchildren participated in a Lag b’Omer bonfire in Antwerp that featured the burning of an Israeli flag.

An eyewitness who photographed the event on May 10 said the boys attended a cheder of the Satmar community — an anti-Zionist Chasidic stream of approximately 150,000 adherents worldwide.

The picture, taken in an interior courtyard, shows a middle-aged man burning a handmade Israeli flag as some 30 boys watch.

“This is one of the first times we have seen this sort of thing in recent years,” Michael Freilich, editor in chief of Belgium’s leading Jewish publication, Joods Actueel, told JTA.

According to Freilich, the flag-burning ceremony provoked “a lot of anger” within Antwerp’s haredi Orthodox community. Followers of the Chasidic schools of Lubavitch and Belz spoke out against the burning, Freilich said, but the Satmar leadership in Antwerp remains unrepentant.

The last organized instance of flag burning by Belgian Jews was in the 1980s during a few demonstrations outside the Israeli Embassy.

The Satmar movement opposes Zionism because it believes the establishment of a Jewish state should only come after the arrival of the Jewish Messiah.

Interestingly Messianic Jews concur with the Satmar view on the establishment of the Jewish state only after Messiah has come, hence the support of the State of Israel now.

“They are waiting for you at the junction” warns Yad L’Achim!

Yad L’Achim are Israel’s version of The Simpson’s Helen Lovejoy screaming hysterically “will somebody think of the children”. They are the masters of over-the-top scaremongering.

In their latest offering Yad L’Achim propagandists are scaring Israeli drivers by warning of the dangers of missionaries waiting to catch, confuse, and convert them up the junction! Beware, beware, beware they scream, the soul hunters are after you…. spooky!

However at Israeli junctions the missionaries you tend to find are the ones from Chabad or Breslov!

This also a great excuse for a Squeeze song, Up The Junction!

This kind of argument motivates Yad L’Achim and other opponents to Jews expressing any kind of positive belief in Yeshua.

Another argument against our belief, is that Messianic Jewish belief in Yeshua is the continuation of religious antisemitism and blood libels.

For these reasons, Yad L’Achim oppose Christians sharing their faith with Jews.

In a similar vein, Yad L’Achim oppose Muslims sharing their beliefs with Jews, writing:

Conventional wisdom has it that while Christian cults attack Judaism with missionaries, radical Islam uses Kassem rockets and suicide bombers. Recent findings, however, show that Muslims are becoming increasingly active on the spiritual battlefield as well.

“In the past year, we have seen the establishment of an Islamic organization that seeks to influence Jews to become Muslims,” says Rabbi Moshe Cohen, who heads a special unit at Yad L’Achim, the countermissionary organization. “After several months of intensive field work, we’ve managed to make direct contact with a number of Jews who have gone over to the other side. They’ve been converted in Islamic religious courts, live in Arab villages and carry papers that identify them as Muslims.”

Last month however, Neturei Karta’s leader Meir Hirsch welcomed the Blood Libel Sheikh Raed Salah, a religious antisemite, back to Israel.

In this speech, Hirsch praises Allah:

I wonder, will Yad L’Achim oppose Neturei Karta as vocally, as publicly, and as zealously as they oppose Messianic Jews, Christian missionaries, and Islamic missionaries to Jews?

Due to Neturei Karta’s respected status within Mea Shearim and other haredi communities, I strongly doubt it.

I rather expect that Yad L’Achim will prefer to focus their zeal on the relatively vulnerable Messianic Jewish community.
