I was alone at Eddie and Lura’s, and the Datim stayed outside shouting for 2 hours. I just ignored them, but then I heard these guys throwing things at the glass door trying to break in. I called the police twice and they hung up on me both times. The authorities in Israel aren’t really concerned about the rights of Christians because it is a Jewish country. Even though I was born Jewish that doesn’t seem to matter. Since I believe in Jesus and the New Testament and not the Talmud, my human rights have been taken away.

The Talmud states that Christians are animals without souls and could be treated as such. These Orthodox don't practice true Judaism, which teaches to love your neighbor as yourself. They even hate the secular/non religious Jews as well. They hurt Israel by fueling anti-Semitism. Outsiders see how they act and begin to hate Jews. They don't fight in the military either, nor do they contribute to the economy at all because they don't work. They just collect Public assistance and harass people who don’t believe like them.

People look up to them here, because most Israelis are ignorant to the Bible and because these Orthodox look holy with their tzit tzit and prayer shawls. Jesus went through the same thing here 2,000 years ago and I'm beginning to really appreciate the Bible more now. It's a shame there is such hatred towards a man who did nothing but heal people and forgive them of their sins (not to mention give his life for us). As a Jew, it's hard being hated by your own people.

If you think what I said might be severe or ant-Semitic, think about this. What if a Jewish man was being harassed by Christians in the United States and they were trying to break into his home telling him they were going to kill him. What if he called the Police and they hung up on him or if they told him. “Sorry, there is nothing we can do for you. The United States is a Christian country”.
