Trying to Use Israeli Independence Day to Proselytize
A team of some 50 missionaries from around the world arrived in Israel at the weekend to bolster local cults and help them take advantage of the large Independence Day crowds to reach unsuspecting Jews with their missionary material and message. Yad L'Achim had received early warning and was out in force to foil them.
On Monday evening and Tuesday, the missionaries took up positions at central locations in major cities, including: Allenby Street in Tel Aviv, Bialik Street in Ramat Gan and the Machaneh Yehudah open-air market in Jerusalem. To their surprise and dismay, they were greeted everywhere by Yad L'Achim activists who were cautioning passersby not to be taken in by them and not to take any of their material.
"These are enemies of the Jewish people," an activist would call out to anyone the missionaries tried to engage in conversation. "They want to get Jews to convert out of their religion."
