To all those who rush to bash Messianic Jews or Jews for Jesus

1. Messianic Judaism is another religion?

Perhaps so. Yet tens of thousands of Israelis today practice Buddhism, Hinduism and Paganism, have no connection at all to Judaism nor do they believe in the Jewish religion. Should they be denied citizenship as well?  And after them, who else? Jews who are Atheists? If the Jewish Haredi Aryan fundamentalists carry out their extremist policies, there will be no citizens left in Israel who are will fit their absolutist categories but the ultra-Orthodox and the Arab citizens.

2. Following the Legacy of Nazism

Those who support the current ideology of discrimination  against Messianic Jews are following the Nazi legacy.  The Brother Daniel and Edith Stein are two examples of Jewish converts to Catholicism who were prosecuted by the Nazis. Yet if the Jewish state existed in the 1940s, it would turn its back on them.

3. Messianic Judaism uses deceitful messages and is a form of Fundamentalist American Protestantism

 However, they are still better than the Haredim since the latter do not serve in the army altogether, nor do they see it as their ideal to contribute to the society they live in while Messianic Jews are idealistic and committed citizens and even overly-committed at times.
