NONSTOP WAR is being waged upon the Jewish people. Make no mistake about this multiple-alarm fire warning. Tragically, it won’t be the last.
But while typically one thinks of flying bullets and explosive-laden bombs as the weapons of choice, anti-semites (and this is what they are, even if some Missionaries are former Jews, as they currently choose to steal fellow Jewish souls to “revert” to Christianity) employ many methods, to essentially kill Jews.
Assuredly, while bullets and bombs generally cause the target’s death (after all, that’s the plan, even when not 100% successful), the fact of the matter is that a spiritual death is no less assaulting, often reverberating for generations to come.
How so? One generation cascades upon another. Consider the latest Missionary thrust, atop countless others:
A cadre of Zionist activists in Israel recently received PM’s (personal messages) via Facebook. The message link read as follows, and came from the following group of Missionaries:

| IRVING SALZMAN who went to a Lubavitch Yeshiva found Yeshua. |
 Irving Salzman’s father had survived the Holocaust, and was committed to raising “good Jewish boys.” So Irving went to synagogue, attended Hebrew school, and was observant to kashrut (the “kosher” dietary laws) and went to a Lubavitch Yeshiva. He became very active in synagogue life, apprenticing with the local cantor and learned how to be a Torah reader, a position he held for fifteen years.To meet new friends, Irving was on a chat line one evening, and talking with a born-again Believer. The two told each other about their respective faiths. Every week, this young man would share with Irving the Messianic prophecies from the Hebrew Scriptures.Irving took all of this with a grain of salt as he trusted the wisdom of the rabbinical interpretations of these prophecies over this born-again Christian’s understanding.
He thought to himself, “Who is this Gentile Christian and what does he know about the Messianic Jewish prophecies?” Irving later found out that his friend spent hours and hours in the Jewish public library researching all the questions that came up in their weekly conversations.For an entire year the two debated on the phone, but Irving’s trust was solidly in the rabbinical authority. “Can I read to you from the New Testament?” Irving’s young friend asked one day. Irving agreed, as he had never heard a word of the New Testament. He was then treated to the entire Sermon on the Mount, when Yeshua (Jesus) spoke the life of faith to the multitudes. “I had not seen anything like this in the rabbinic writing of my youth.I was overwhelmed by the authority, wisdom, and compassion of Yeshua in the Sermon on the Mount,” said Irving. “Could we have all been wrong?” This was a hard pill to swallow. It would mean that the Jewish people had seen their Messiah and denied Him and for 2,000 years we have all been telling our people a lie [that Jesus is not the Jewish Messiah]. And so Irving began his own study of the Messianic prophecies.“I vowed I would not allow the rabbinic interpretations to influence, but let the text show me who He was. After a couple of months I knew that Jesus of Nazareth was the only candidate who fulfilled the prophecies. It was a matter of fact, so I accepted Him as my Savior.” Irving Salzman is now a Messianic Rabbi in New Jersey. He has been an outreach worker with Chosen People Ministries, reaching hundreds, maybe thousands of people with the truth of Yeshua, giving them the opportunity – much like he had – to find their Savior.
In tandem with the above proselytizers, too many Facebook pages are devoted to Missionary work, and they congregate at pro-Israel sites. Wonder why….Tangentially, designated websites often piggyback with social media, no stone left non-turned. As a matter of record, one such link is emblematic of enumerable others: introducing, Jason Lawrence, whose profile states he lives in Jerusalem. Outrageously, he is PM’ing all over social media for Jewish converts to Christianity. Really now. מה חוצפה, what a nerve! Does Jason understand that he is (and others who do the same, either as residents of Israel or targeting those who live in Israel) VIOLATING Israeli law, as cited below? Does he (and others) understand that this blogger’s site attracts worldwide attention, both within and outside Israel? Does he (and others) really want to entangle within its pages? NOT a good move. As a result, the ball, so to speak, is in his (their) court. Ditto the rest.
We’re far from done.
The above has yet to be fully disclosed. On the hunt.
Do you see what Jews – in Israel and the diaspora – are up against?

NOW, imagine how dangerous and pressing the problem is that these words – from Israel’s highly urbane (previous) Ambassador to Washington – required a public airing, from a sophisticated diplo not known for shooting from the lip – Dr. Michael Oren:
Following an address at a church in Irvine California in which he thanked Christians for their support, Israel’s Ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren, granted an interview to journalist Dan Wooding and raised the red flag on proselytizing and messianic Christianity.
When asked if the growth of Israel’s Messianic community concerned him, Oren responded,
“I have no statistics on the size of the Messianic community, but I think certainly that the State of Israel wants the Jewish people to remain Jewish…” While noting that “Israel greatly values its relationship with the evangelical community and other Christian communities in the world,” Oren cautioned that, “we are very sensitive to the notion of proselytizing — very sensitive.”
Hopefully Ambassador Oren’s prudent remarks signify something of a departure from former Ambassador Daniel Ayalon’s no holds barred embrace of evangelicals. As we noted in a previous post, Daniel Ayalon told several church leaders, as he left Washington, that he intended to be “their ambassador to Israel” – and he continues to work in that direction in his current position as Deputy Foreign Minister.
In an attempt to escape Soviet communism Oren said, “Literally hundreds of thousands of Soviet people who were not Jewish, came into Israel and became Israeli citizens. So much so that at one point theIsraeli army was printing out the New Testament in Hebrew so that soldiers could use it to swear in because they were practicing Christians serving in the Israeli army. We now have a great number.” He included in those numbers Russian Messianics, Pentecostals, Baptists and a significant Russian Orthodox population.
Arutz 7, also reporting on Oren’s interview, claims that “Proselytizing in public is illegal in Israel, but the prohibition increasingly has been violated.”
But Oren actually said, “The Christian churches that are active and there are a great number of them — have an agreement with the Israeli government that they can enjoy complete religious freedom, but that they should refrain from proselytizing.”
Back in December 25, 1977, Israel enacted an “anti-missionary” law. This is a statute that decrees a prison term of up to five years for any gentile attempting to proselytize a Jew away from his faith. Now, understand the facts at hand: Missionaries are so intent on capturing the souls of as many Jews as possible, not only do they ignore Israeli law, but they are aghast at the “audacity” of Israel’s leaders for legalizing it! They view it as an affront against their own beliefs. What utter gall.
FAR too many have yet to recognize the audacious manner in which Missionaries operate. Unconscionably, one’s personal message box is no longer safe from their proselytizing. Not only that, by targeting said high profile Jewish activists it becomes inordinately clear: NO Jew is safe from their clutches, wherever they stand on the Jewish spectrum. Imagine how vulnerable the average Jew is, as they run up against the hard-line tactics of those who want nothing less than their souls! They are relentless. On a mission. Clearly, their divergent activities require spreading a wide net.
As such, understand that these major efforts, employed by Missionaries, are in order to bring Jews to the “true savior”, as if their Jewish G-d is a figment of “tribal” indoctrination. You got that?
And, whatever the Missionaries motives are, it doesn’t matter a damn. Not only is it outrageous and disrespectful, but it is ILLEGAL in Israel. Really. No smack-talk.
That being said, let the following serve as TARGETED notice to the latest Missionary putsch:
ANYONE who is familiar with this site knows that the efforts within are emblematic with “taking no prisoners”. Just ask those who have been swept up in its net:
And, just in case Ynetnews believes it is preferable to ignore the evidence within, they would do well to rethink their calculus. Post haste. Pray tell, what’s the hurry? Well, they may want to query the Jewish Press (and other heretofore referenced miscreants), as to how toxic certain writers/editors become when they fail to conduct their due diligence. This is the case, even when publishers swing leftward and reflexively lean towards an Arabist tilt. If for nothing else, their (fiscal) bottom line is in play. Up for grabs.
In this regard, a repeated target featured at this site (linked above) is no longer at his editorial perch at the Jewish Press’s online site. Coincidence…oh yeah…yippee too.
In other words, regardless of this, that and the other, if ANYONE dares to mess with Israel and America – most inherently the Jewish people – well, hell hath no fury is a prudent axiom to bear uppermost in mind. Does a “dog with a bone” resonate?
AGAIN, Missionaries: “you be” warned! Stay far, far away….
