10 – In all honesty, they are harassing the missionaries, and G-d willing will continue to do so. I can’t think of something more annoying to a missionary than to lose clientele

8 – J Witnesses aren’t christians, their a unique cult with their own set of whacky beliefs.

7 – Unchecked vigilante violence… yay! Complete societal decay is just what Israel needs right now…

If this whole thing happened as reported in the article, the victim must have earned great schar. Maybe when they go out, they could be trailed by a Yid who is strong, maybe a veteran, in case something like this happens. If anyone resorting to violence is made to really regret what he did, it should help put an end to this kind of thing.

The U.S. State Department may be partly to blame for the violence against Yad L’Achim volunteers.

Please see their 2010 annual report on Israel:
http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/hrrpt/2009/nea/136070.htm
and search for “Yad L’Achim”.

With their convoluted logic, they accuse the Tzadikim and Tzidkanios of this wonderful organization of “harassing” the missionaries. I understand that these distortions have been published by them for years (under our “friend” President George W. Bush and — of course — under the current secretary of state, [Arafat kisser] Hillary Clinton).

If the police won’t do anything then learn some basic self defense or carry a weapon.

It seems that (on the yahrtzeit of Rav Meir Kahane zatzvk”l) we are reminded that perhaps now even Eretz Yisrael needs a JDL chapter!

I believe that it is already illegal to missionize in Israel.

A secular law may not make that distinction.
Be careful what you wish for. We’re still in golus even in eretz yisroel.

Last I checked, those were Jewish kiruv, not gentile Christian missionary, groups, any oymer. Lehavdil.
