100% !
62. Sounds like many of the Jews
Jim044 ,   USA   (03.06.12)
commenting here are pretty well full of hate for Christians as if the Christians had done something to them (recently, I mean). I know that historically, wars have been fought over religious differences and will be again, but the modern message of Christianity is love one another and always do the right thing. This skips the main message of Jesus because I assume you have all heard that before you rejected Him. This simplified message of love and morality is far different than the Koran's message of "my way or I'm going to cut off your head". I'm sure that the missionaries are not trying to ram Christianity down yours or anybody's throats, they just want to make sure you have the opportunity to see the remarkable difference between Jesus and the pedofile Mohammed. I'm not a prophet, but I'm going to predict that in the coming few years, many many of you Jews (including some commenting here) will join "Jews for Jesus" and be very happy you did. For information on NT prophesy go to uofe.org and read Prince Handley's posts and blogs...jf
63. Thanks to religious people...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (03.06.12)
Israel will stay a Jewish country.
64. #20 - Yoni the Jew
Dino Domingo ,   Vancouver, Canada   (03.06.12)
you are wrong...there are far more Christians in this world than there are Jews...and the Jewish religion is a couple thousand years older...this should tell you something, Judaism is for those who are unrealistic and believe in only what suits them! Jesus could not tolerate the unethical ways of your Jewish Rabbi's and so of course they brought him to be crucified...he made examples of their hypocrisies and exposed them for their political and financial gain during the Sabbath and in several other examples you should EDUCATE yourself with. if you choose to disregard the Messiah thats your problem...we accept him and love him...I dont believe in Christians supporting Jews...i believe in all mankind supporting each other and doing and supporting what is right in this world regardless of religion! I wont support a Christian who does wrong to a Jew...just because he's a Christian...but you Jews will find a way to justify any Jews wrongdoings to support your own right or wrong!
65. Another Step Toward Theocracy
Gordon Silverman ,   Bronx, USA   (03.06.12)
While people might think that the refusal of postal workers to deliver Christian written materials is insignificant, the message that these men sent by doing so, combined with the inaction of the Minister of Communications, who wants to study the "legality" of such a boycott, should be taken as an action that endangers Israeli democracy -- another step toward theocracy.

Your polished remarks are why we are so sceptical of you xtians...esp. the last part of your post.
67. # 62
Birdi ,   Israel = Jewish land   (03.06.12)
Not interested thank you. Go peddle your wares somewhere else.
68. postal workers
Tieneke Musch ,   Heemskerk   (03.06.12)
Communication will solve a lot. Read Isaaia 53 and know that the Mashiach came that time. You need HIM, Ask Jeshua into your heart only than you can understand the 53 chapter of Isaaia.
69. Ora , secular postmen also refused !
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (03.06.12)
Not only the religious ones . Secular Jews are 100 % Jews too , maybe more than some charidim , you know whom i mean ! Where are our "humentaschen" ? i miss them ! Happy Pourim !
70. Dino , in the name of your "messias"
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (03.06.12)
millions of people were murdered , perished , were burned and banned from their countries . So we don't need your "education" , we have seen the results of your fake messias . Jews don't support wrondoing by other Jews ! try to learn something about us !
71. #70 - Charles, Petach Tikva
Dino Domingo ,   Vancouver, Canada   (03.06.12)
"millions of people were murdered" ok...yes, that happened 67 years ago...and? how does that have anything to do with what I am talking about? I am learning about Jews/Judaism...I am pro Israel but not pro anything Israeli/Jewish. you need to learn to be fair and get your head outta your ass and stop crying about yesterday...how long are you going to do this you poor little guy?
72. Talk about a Slap in the Face!
Leah ,   Seattle, USA   (03.06.12)
The church must be saying "ha ha Jews, the joke is on you" by forcing us to be participants in their campaign to convert Jews. Shame on the church!!!
73. 69 Charles, Happy Purim.
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (03.06.12)

Daniel ,   USA   (03.07.12)
So, you call believe in Jesus or burn in hell not ramming Christianity down the throats of those who choose not to? G-d talks about the people that fear & pray to him, but bow down to false idols, sounds like Christians to me.
75. To 20, Yoni
Luiz F Haddad ,   Niteroi, Brazil   (03.07.12)
Brother Yoni, the Jew. You, and other talkbackers, are right, but not entirely. On being, Israel, a Jewish State, her law may forbid missionaries from different faiths. But it can not mean intolerance or hate against us, true Christians, which support and love your country. I do not believe you like to follow Muslim State's attitudes about "no believers". I salute you with all respect and friendship.
76. Charles - Petach Tikva
Dino Domingo ,   Vancouver, Canada   (03.07.12)
...and another thing...your propaganda and ignorance shows clear when you say "in the name of our messiah"...you are refering to the fact that many people killed Jews...but none in the name of Christianity...don't be so ignorant...I know you don't have the capacity to accept another truth other than what is convenient to you but you are typical...spread lies until you believe them...typical! May God Bless you Charles...so that you stop to feel the pain and feelings of a victim one day...I wish you could feel free to live the rest of your life without blaming a Christian for a rainy day or for the sun to go down at night! you seem miserable and spiteful which must be hard for you...I hope you can find peace in God...there is only 1 God....for you and for all!
77. Imagine if
Taxpayer ,   Hod Hasharon   (03.07.12)
Imagine if i ordered an Artscroll sidur from New York and the American post office refused to handle it because it was Jewish - what would he reaction be? It is amazing how insecure some people are in their beliefs that they fear this stuff so much. What is next? A refusal to hand out postfrom banks because the postman don't agree with their morals?
78. Jewish suffering
Markos ,   Ethiopia   (03.07.12)
throughout the centuries ie. crusades, spanish inquisition, progroms, & holocaust to name of few have been committed under the "Christian banner" which is an irrefutable fact. However, those "Christians" like many "Christians" of today, have a wrong understanding of the will of God regarding His love for the Jewish people. I am so sorry for what has befallen your people through all this time. I love Israel and the Jewish people and though I know you won't agree with me on this one, Yeshua (Jesus) is the Messiah of Israel, the Hope of your nation and all mankind. God bless you!
79. Jewish missionaries
Line Singer ,   Denmark/Israel   (03.07.12)
I'm sorry to tell you but I've met plenty of Jewish missionaries. In the airport, on the streets. If it really is illegal in Israel to try and push your religion on others than clearly these (many!) people don't know it. You're no better, or worse, than anybody else. And the postal workers should do the job they're paid for. The receivers of the NT can just throw it in the bin. It's not some magic book that will jump out and onto your kitchen table again and again. It will not open on it's own. If you throw it away it will be gone. Really, it's true!
80. Son of Avraham
Yitzhak ,   Jerusalem   (03.07.12)
I'm happy to know that my fellow Jews will defend the Torah and our people against all cost. Just because of humble people as them we deserve the Geula soon in our days AM YISRAEL CHAY YOO!!!!
81. missing the point
avi ,   london   (03.07.12)
I don't get what you're all arguing about. The postal service in Israel sucks, most post gets lost on the way anyway, so instead of making a big deal out of this why don't the postmen just chuck them all in the bin like they usually do with all our other post?
82. Postal service can do Irans Job
Trevor ,   Modiin Israel   (03.07.12)
SO instead of wiping out Israel and the Jews Physically - they will be wiped out spiritually. I, as a mostly secular Israeli to all those who believe "the religious circus is back in town" there has to be a line drawn, as much as you might not be observant....for G-d Sake protect our Jewishness!
83. dino , 71 & 76 . Who does'nt want to know here ?
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (03.07.12)
I , at least , dislike people who tells liesor don't want to know . Tell me , were it not catholic crusaders , who on their way to "liberate" Jerusalem , murdered quantities of Jews ? In other periods Jews had a choice : to convert or to be murdered . Nazi german soldiers had "gott mit uns" engraved on their belts , not a catholic god maybe ? Msgr Tiso , a catholic priest headed the Slovak stae , founded in the name of god , and send thousand of Jews to the death camps , Is all this not "murder in the name of your god" ? High ranking german clergy made the hitler salute . Those are FACTS not beliefs inspired by hate or ignorance . When i was a soldier , in 1956 , a guy did'nt believe that i was Jewish , at the end he said : Because Jews have horns . He had a good excuse for his ignorance : lived in a small village , where the priest had the greatest influence . What is your excuse for your igtnorance ? or maybe that you don't want to know , that's worse . let me tell you that i was hidden by a catholic priest during WWII , he , as many others , did it out of humanity , not because he was a catholic priest .
84. Line 79 , it are Jews , in a Jewish State
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (03.07.12)
Not christian missionaries . A big difference , Not ?
85. Taxpayer # 77
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (03.07.12)
Believing or secular people , who are STRONG in their belief or Non Belief don't fear any missionary . Those missionaries can succeed with people who are weak , in distress , lonely , in one word WEAK . It's to protect them that we don't want missionaries to act here .
86. Dino , poor little guy ? that shows your level
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (03.07.12)
But how could i await somerthing better from a "person" who believes that a virgin had a son , the son of a god and who ressurected . Your name is truely well adapted to your belief . the dino's also lived in a world that was ignorant .
87. 83 Charles I can t stop laughing...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (03.07.12)
a catholic what ?on the germans belt ? You are "riezig".
88. #86 Charles
Dino Domingo ,   Vancouver, Canada   (03.07.12)
Its ok, go ahead and make fun...make fun of Jesus, the virgin mary and disregard the priest that saved your life and other Jewish lives. pretend that him saving you had nothing to do with him being a religious man if thats what makes you feel better. read over all these points that you have made and anyone can clearly see you are ungrateful and miserable...but thats your problem and not mine!
89. Ora ,
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (03.07.12)
Yes they had "god mitt uns" on their belts , "their god" who as they pretend is full of love !
90. 88 , dino , To low your level !
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (03.07.12)
I'm A Jewish secular who respects people who deserve it . Sad for you , you are NOT amongst them . I sincerely pity you and all those who ressemble you . Ungratefull ? You don't know what it means . Miserable ? At least i'm a 21st century man who DOES not believe in your tales , while you still live in the dino's era .
