Burning of Christian churches in Israel justified, far-Right Jewish leader says


HT to Steve Lumbley (Apostasy Watch)

The leader of a far-Right Israeli group has risked arrest by apparently voicing support for arson attacks on Christian churches amid an official crackdown on Jewish extremism.

Benzi Gopstein, the outspoken head of Lehava – which has drawn notoriety for its violent assaults on Jewish-Arab assimilation – made the remarks at a panel discussion for Jewish yeshiva students when asked by a fellow panelist if he believed burning down churches in Israel was justified.

He later tried to evade accusations of inciting his followers to fire-raise, saying it was the government’s responsibility to carry out what he presented as a religious teaching of the 12th century Jewish philosopher, Maimonides.

“Did the Rambam [Maimonides] rule to destroy [idol worship] or not? Idol worship must be destroyed. It’s simply yes – what’s the question?” Mr Gopstein told the panel.

  1. More proof showing that regardless where one stands in their belief, if it is not secure in God the Father and Jesus Christ our LORD and Saviour, the Gospel of Jesus Christ, they are antichrist and lost, unless they eventually come to the Light of Jesus Christ!
    All praise and glory to God our Father and Jesus Christ our LORD and Saviour!
