Page 142 - Attractive Deception - The False Hope of the Hebrew Roots Movement

When this happened, all of these ministries in Israel had a choice to make on what they were going
to do. In response to this threat of this advance law... as it turns out, fifty of the major evangelical
organizations that go to Israel signed a pledge that they would refuse to allow anybody associated
with them or their group at any time to proselytize or share the gospel with anybody while they’re
there. I had heard this first mentioned sometime from someone that some people might think may be
of dubious motive and you think, “No, that cannot be true.” But, actually I went and did the
homework through Christian sources and other major news wires, and they confirmed all of this. The
members of Knesset said, “Hey, this is better than a law. We’ve got them to capitulate completely.
They are willing to send money and no strings attached, with the restriction of any other type of
Christian practice in the area.”

I highly recommend listening to the entire interview. It can be downloaded or listened to online at the

I too have done my own research and verified the profound hatred expressed by Orthodox Jews in
Israel toward Christ and those who profess to be His followers. An article in an Israeli newspaper
reported the following:

Ultra-Orthodox (Jewish) young men curse and spit at Christian clergymen in the streets of
Jerusalem's Old City as a matter of routine...

When Narek Garabedian came to Israel to study in the Armenian Seminary in Jerusalem half a year
ago, he did not expect the insults, curses and spitting he would be subjected to daily by
ultra-Orthodox Jews in the streets of the Old City.

"When I see an ultra-Orthodox man coming toward me in the street, I always ask myself if he will spit
at me," says Narek, a Canadian Armenian, this week. About a month ago, on his way to buy groceries
in the Old City, two ultra-Orthodox men spat at him. The spittle did not fall at his feet but on his
person...

Other clergymen in the Armenian Church in Jerusalem say they are all victims of harassment, from
the senior cardinals to the priesthood students. Mostly they ignore these incidents. When they do
complain, the police don't usually find the perpetrators...

A few weeks ago four ultra-Orthodox men spat at clergymen in the funeral procession of Father
Alberto of the Armenian Church. "They came in a pack, out of nowhere," said Father Goosan.

As I am writing this an article has been posted on Haaretz about a Christian cemetery being
vandalized in Northern Israel. Below the story is a link to an article from a few weeks back regarding
a Christian center being vandalized and set afire. The vandals spray painted phrases denigrating Jesus
Christ/Yahshua the Messiah. Such actions are common. They are a natural byproduct of the teaching
of the rabbis whose hatred of Yahshua has been preserved for millennia in the Talmud.
