【テルアヴィヴ2008】イスラエル建国60周年のお祭り騒ぎの中で組織的な『新約聖書』焚書事件が発生
イスラエル建国60周年で国じゅうがお祭り騒ぎの真っ最中のときに、
キリスト教使節団がテルアヴィヴ行政区のベングリオン空港（旧名：ロッダ空港）
に隣接する新興都市（1949年の移入民キャンプから生まれ88年に都市宣言した）
オル・イェフダ市内で新約聖書を配っていたところ、住民から文句が出たので
同市助役がじきじきに妨害活動に乗り出し、拡声器つき車両で「ユダヤ神学校生徒が
お宅に伺いますので、配布された新約聖書などはその生徒たちに渡してください」と
町中アナウンスして回り、こうして数百人の神学校生徒を動員して回収作業で集めた
新約聖書を焼却処分した。
この助役はAP通信の取材に対し、焚書に関与した神学校生徒は数百人もいたのに
「ほんの少数」と過少申告し、異教徒による改宗の働きかけを拒否して焚書を行なう
のは「戒律」に適った行為だと正当化し、「焚書を責める気は毛頭ない。悪いのは
（新約聖書などを）配布した連中だ」と開き直った。
ヨーロッパ（とりわけデンマーク）のシオニストが、イスラム教預言者ムハンマドを
茶化した漫画を故意かつ執拗にばらまいてイスラム教徒を挑発し、宗教戦争の
激化を促してきたが、その一方で、シオニストの牙城のど真ん中で、こうした
組織的焚書活動が、しかもよりによってイスラエル建国60周年のさなかに
行われたのは、シオニストの排外主義・異教徒排斥の攻撃性を象徴した事件
だったといえる。
シオニストのテロ行為を応援してきた米国などのキリスト教原理主義勢力が
この動きをどう評価し、どう反応していくか注目すべきことであるが、それとは
また別に、この事件は、団地の集合ポストにチラシ類を入れていても（住民の
クレームで行政・警察が動いて）逮捕者が出るという日本の言論封殺状況と
あまりにも似通っている……。

Israeli youths burn New Testaments
JERUSALEM (AP) — Orthodox Jews set fire to hundreds of copies of the New Testament in the latest act of violence against Christian missionaries in the Holy Land.
Or Yehuda Deputy Mayor Uzi Aharon said missionaries recently entered a neighborhood in the predominantly religious town of 34,000 in central Israel, distributing hundreds of New Testaments and missionary material.
After receiving complaints, Aharon said, he got into a loudspeaker car last Thursday and drove through the neighborhood, urging people to turn over the material to Jewish religious students who went door to door to collect it.
The books were dumped into a pile and set afire in a lot near a synagogue, he said.
The Israeli Maariv daily reported Tuesday that hundreds of Jewish religious school students took part in the book-burning. But Aharon told The Associated Press that only a few students were present, and that he was not there when the books were torched. Not all of the New Testaments that were collected were burned, but hundreds were, he said.
He said he regretted the burning of the books, but called it a "commandment" to burn materials that urge Jews to convert.
"I certainly don't denounce the burning of the booklets," he said. "I denounce those who distributed the booklets."
Jews worship from the Old Testament, including the Five Books of Moses and the writings of the ancient prophets. Christians revere the Old Testament as well as the New Testament, which contains the ministry of Jesus.
Calev Myers, an attorney who represents Messianic Jews, or Jews who accept Jesus as their savior, demanded in an interview with Army Radio that all those involved be put on trial. He estimated there were 10,000 Messianic Jews, who are also known as Jews for Jesus, in Israel.
Police had no immediate comment.
Israeli authorities and Orthodox Jews frown on missionary activity aimed at Jews, though in most cases it is not illegal. Still, the concept of a Jew burning books is abhorrent to many in Israel because of the association with Nazis torching piles of Jewish books during the Holocaust of World War II.
Earlier this year, the teenage son of a prominent Christian missionary was seriously wounded when a package bomb delivered to the family's West Bank home went off in his hands.
Last year, arsonists burst into a Jerusalem church used by Messianic Jews and set the building on fire, raising suspicions that Jewish extremists were behind the attack. No one claimed responsibility, but the same church was burned down 25 years ago by ultra-Orthodox Jewish extremists.

Israel, Jewish Groups Condemn Burning of New Testaments
By Julie Stahl
CNSNews.com Jerusalem Bureau Chief
May 23, 2008
Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - The Israeli government and Jewish groups have condemned as "despicable" the burning of hundreds of New Testaments by a handful of Jewish seminary students in a town outside of Tel Aviv.
According to press reports, local Messianic Jews (Jews who believe that Jesus is the Messiah) distributed the New Testaments to new immigrants from Ethiopia in the town of Or Yehuda.
(Traditional Judaism believes in what is commonly called the Old Testament but not the New Testament.)
The initial story, which ran in the Israeli daily Ma'ariv on Tuesday, said that Or Yehuda's Deputy Mayor Uzi Aharon had encouraged youths from a local yeshiva (Jewish religious school) to retrieve the books and burn them. It happened last week.
In a radio interview shortly after the story appeared, Aharon defended his actions and called it "purging the evil among us." But later he apologized and said he never intended for the books to be burned. The town has been back-peddling ever since.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's spokesman Mark Regev condemned what he called "this despicable act" and said police should thoroughly investigate the incident.
"Israel is a country in which freedom of religion is one of our highest principles," Regev told Cybercast News Service. Jews should always remember whose books were burned in the past, he said.
Evangelical Christians from around the world are some of Israel's most loyal supporters. Many of them continued to visit Israel during the violent Palestinian uprising that began in 2000, despite a drastic tourism slump.
Regev said he is hopeful that Christians around the world will realize that the people in the Israeli government "are not represented by a few misguided extremists."
Or Yehuda Mayor David Yosef issued a statement condemning the act and said his town had no connection to it.
"We are shocked at this act. The Nation of the Book remembers other dark and horrible times in the history of mankind in which the burning of books was used to advance deviant purposes," Yosef said.
"In our perception, the Book [the Jewish Bible] represents everything we want to teach our children - culture, ideas, language, and tolerance," he said.
Or Yehuda, which means the light of Judah in Hebrew, was established as a camp to receive newcomers to the nascent state of Israel in 1949, said city spokeswoman Nurit Shulman. It is now a city of 33,000 with a large number of its residents adhering to traditional Jewish values, she said.
Israeli religious leaders have not yet commented on the New Testament burning. But Rabbi David Rosen, international director of interreligious affairs for the American Jewish Committee, welcomed Aharon's apology and urged Israeli leaders to speak out against such "despicable behavior."
"Burning books, especially scriptures of any religion, is a travesty of Jewish ethics and historical experience," Rosen said in a statement. "No provocation can justify such outrageous behavior. We hope a strong reaction from Jewish leaders in Israel will serve as a deterrent against the repetition of such deplorable acts."
Rosen, who has been involved in top level inter-religious meetings for years, told Cybercast News Service he hoped top Jewish, Islamic and Christian leaders here would issue a joint condemnation.
The Anti-Defamation League also issued condemned what it called "this heinous act" as a "violation of basic Jewish principles and values."
"The Jewish people can never forget the tragic burning of Talmuds and Torahs [Jewish commentaries and the Bible] throughout history. It is essential that we respect the sacred texts of other faiths," said ADL Interfaith Director Rabbi Eric J. Greenberg.
Greenberg said that any legitimate concerns about proselytizing should be addressed through proper legal channels.
The alleged burning of the New Testaments comes at a time of growing fervor against Israel's Messianic Jewish community by small groups of radical anti-missionaries.
Israel's chief rabbis called for a boycott of an international Bible quiz on Independence Day, after anti-missionaries discovered that one of the finalists was a Messianic Jew.
In a more serious incident in March, a Messianic Jewish teenager, whose father is a prominent pastor here, was severely injured when a bomb exploded as he opened a package sent to the family home disguised as a holiday gift basket.
No one has yet been charged in the crime and the court has ordered that details of the case remain under wraps for the time being.
Attorney Calev Myers, who represents Messianic Jews, told Cybercast News Service that it is against Israeli law to desecrate or destroy a religious place or object that is considered holy to a group of people with the intent of humiliating the religion or with the knowledge that it would be offensive to practitioners.
It also is illegal to say something in a public setting that could cause gross offense to a person's religion or hurt his religious sensitivities, Myers said.
If people in other countries were making bonfires out of Torah scrolls, Israel and the Jewish people would hope that those countries would prosecute the perpetrators as having committed a serious crime, he said.
Victor Kalisher, director of the Bible Society here, told Cybercast News Service that the incident was "very dangerous," particularly because it appeared to have been instigated by the deputy mayor. He said he hoped the incident would not be dismissed as the prank of some youngsters.
Kalisher, a Messianic Jew and son of a Holocaust survivor, said he was born in Israel, had served in the army, worked in a high-tech company and was part of mainstream Israel. As such, he expects to have the same rights as any other Israeli.
"As the director of the Bible Society, our goal is to distribute the Holy Scriptures, and the New Testament is one of them," said Kalisher. "We think it's a blessed thing and religious people should respect it." He also offered to give a copy to the deputy mayor and discuss it with him.
David Parsons, spokesman for the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem, said the book burning was an "outrageous act." In the past centuries, Christians sometimes burned Jewish books but that is a "totally outdated" way of dealing with issues, Parsons told Cybercast News Service.
Parsons noted that the issue of Messianic Jews has come to the forefront in Israel recently.
"Christians need to realize the history and sensitivity behind this," said Parsons, and Israel and the Jewish people need to discourage violence against a religious minority here in the land.
ICEJ brings thousands of Christian pilgrims to Israel for the annual Feast of Tabernacles Celebration. It is the leading Christian Zionist organization and represents the pro-Israel views of millions of Evangelical Christians around the world.
Parsons said that Christians worldwide would be watching to see how the Israeli authorities deal with this latest incident.
Attorney General Menachem Mazuz asked police to open an investigation into Aharon, the Jerusalem Post reported on Friday. Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said earlier that police were examining the press reports and would decide on what course of action to take.

Bible Burning in Zionistan
Project Humanbeingsfirst
May 25, 2008.
------------------------------------------------------------
The following is an update to Project Humanbeingsfirst'spublic service announcement of May 15, 2008 made on the occasion of Celebrating Israel's 60th Birthdaybash, when the President of the United States along with the First Lady had just arrived in Israel.
------------------------------------------------------------
[May 20, 2008]
It is known to be customary to celebrate independence day with much mirth, joyous merry-making, firecrackers, and bonfires. The "New Israel" which excitedly welcomed the fervent Evangelical Christian American President, George W. Bush Jr., and his fair lady, to its holy lands for three days of love-fest and merriment, the moment their guests departed, lit the brightest bonfires to continue on with its "Three thousand years old, and going on sixty" traditional celebrations of "protect[ing] the freedoms given to us by an Almighty God", as reported today by the Tel Aviv based Hebrew language Daily, Maariv, the second largest in Israel.
AP translated it for the rest of the world who haven't yet learned Hebrew:
"Orthodox Jews set fire to hundreds of copies of the New Testament in the latest act of violence against Christian missionaries in the Holy Land. The books were dumped into a pile and set afire in a lot near a synagogue. The Israeli Maariv daily reported Tuesday that hundreds of Jewish religious school students took part in the book-burning. Israeli authorities and Orthodox Jews frown on missionary activity aimed at Jews",
as observed by DAWN, MSNBC, IHT, all eloquently headlining it "Orthodox Jewish youths burn New Testaments in Israel", and all narrating the 'biblical' epiphany from the Associated Press supplied renditionof events.
There were no BBC television news camerason hand to record the bonfires as there usually are when some DVDs featuring scantily clad women are put to the torch by "islamofascists".
Too bad the First Family of the United States of America, Der Judenstaadt's primal benefactors, did not stay a few extra days to witness the full spectrum love-fest that perhaps awaits the rest of Christendomas 'god's chosen peoples' are grown into the "Zion that will light up all the world"!
It escapes the humble imagination at Project Humanbeingsfirst headquarters how can the lowly, deftly cultivated "islamofascist " pirates ever hope to hold a candle up to this naturally occurring light of Judeofascism ?
Perhaps the greatest "Western Scholar[s] of Islam" and the "Middle East" in the United States of America, Bernard Lewis, Daniel Pipes, David Horowitz, et. al., can explain it to the erstwhile Christian President of the United States whose most sacred Holy Book, and that of approx. 2 Billion other Christian peoples sharing the same planet, was just desecrated by the most fervent 'Believing' Jews in Zionistan!
It is Project Humanbeingsfirst'sprofound wisdom – which the "Almighty God" in Its own Profound Wisdom seems to have denied those whom He apparently CHOSE as the custodians of "protect[ing] the freedoms given to us" – that "islamofascism" will magically instantly disappear from the international scene, just as it was deliberately instantly brought into existence by "God on your side" with people in foreign 'suits and ties', if only the President of the United States would equitably distribute the veritable "shock and awe" of collateral language across all of: "Islamofascism – Zionofascism – Judeofascism – Christofascism – Neofascism etc."
Project Humanbeingsfirst offers its humble lifetime guarantees that doing so will leave behind the more harmless and normative struggles for Renaissance within each of the respective cultures and societies. These are the social struggles normal for every generation in every epoch as forward thinking courageous human beings in these civilizations attempt to keep up with the new modernity of their respective times, and continually attempt to overcome their respective demons of history and its concomitant cultural baggage in defiance of the status quo that is known throughout history to overwhelm them. Socrates was forced to drink the Hemlock, Galileo was forced to recant, Martin Luther was forced to Reform against all odds, not to mention Jesus Christ who was crucified! The indigenous struggles for full spectrum Renaissance can do without external subversion for world conquests!
By eliminating the exploitation of social-cultural-religious-legal vulnerabilities through its major and minor cracks and lacunas by a tiny handful of the 'ubermensch' Fascist types who calculatingly inflict its exploitation upon the rest of the world as the fabricated "WAR on TERROR", indeed provides the much needed genuine "Lebensraum" to conduct a genuine Renaissance. Rather than the devilish one being so Machiavellianly orchestrated by the friends and exponents of Zionistan for premeditated "imperial mobilization". The latter in turn, equitably endeavors to devour all friends and foes alike, as the ubermensch "chosen peoples" of "an Almighty God" ethereally appointed to rule upon all the world's Goy in a New World Order of their own devilish making!
Wake up Mr. President of the United States of America. Between Christian Zionism and Zionistan, you are grooming the real 'ubermensch' Devils that will devour you just the same when your services have been dutifully rendered. Their "Almighty God"is apparently far more powerful, as evident from the birthday bash in Zionistan! No harm has come to them for boldly lighting bonfires from other people's Holy Books! Never mind their cataclysmic conquests and re-settlement of another far 'lesser' people's inhabited lands as their personal Redemption handed them by the same "Almighty God"! Thou shall equally not escape its wrathful vengeance for 2000 years of anti-Semitism in Christendom – "Eye for an eye" – against its "chosen" peoples!!
A public service message of Renaissance rationalism humbly brought to you by Project HumanbeingsfirstTM.org.
