Israeli Mob Attacks Jewish-Christians
Hundreds of Jewish rioters attacked Jewish Christians on Saturday, Nov. 28, 1998 in Jerusalem
"after a rumor spread in the city's synagogues that missionaries were baptizing Jewish children."
Black-coated Jewish Orthodox Hasidim left their synagogues to go to a house in the Be'er Sheva
quarter, where a Christian congregation of more than three dozen men, women and children,
members of the "Jews for Jesus" movement, were meeting.
The Christians were trapped and surrounded and had to be rescued by the Israeli police.
One Jewish-Christian decribed the attack: "A mob of men in black surrounded us and were shouting
and throwing stones and they tried to jump over the fence. We were especially scared for the
children. We're not missionaries."
A few days ago in Kiryat Malachi, several dozen Hasidic 'Jews' stoned an American couple who
were accused of being missionaries. The Americans denied being missionaries. They said they were
working for a philanthropic group from Switzerland.
