Messianic Jews Under Fire In Israel

CBNNews has an interesting story today about the persecution of Messianic Jews in Israel. When I traveled to Israel in May, one day of touring I had a Jewish tour guide, who told us, without hesitation that Jews who believed in Jesus were not really Jews and also that they were the most dangerous people in Israel. And I have to tell you that I was stunned because here this woman was hosting a bus full of Christians and some of us could've been Jewish for all she knew.

Well, the CBN story is interesting because it begins this way...

CBNNews.com - ARAD, Israel - The state of Israel promises religious freedom to all faiths.

However, in some Israeli towns, Jews who believe that Jesus is the Jewish Messiah face persecution.

One of those places is in a town called Arad.

Arad sits in the middle of the Negev Desert, about a two hour drive south of Jerusalem. For most of the nearly 25,000 residents, it's a quiet setting. But for others, it's been the scene of noisy protests and almost daily harassment.
