Those Americans seem like they're trying to provoke the Jews. They shouldn't have done that.
What are Hasidic Jews and what difference does it make?Aren't they Hasidic Jews?

It sounded like that gives license for harrassment?They would probably never join an organization such as "International Fellowship of Christians and Jews".
No. They are the Haredi Jews. IT is an ultra orthodox sect that is NOT chassidic.Aren't they Hasidic Jews?
Chasidic Jews are an offshoot of Orthodoxy started in the early 1700s by Rabbi Yisroel ben Eliezer, known as the Baal Shem Tov. He lived in the Ukraine. They are a mystical (at times bordering on black magic) sect. Prior to WW2 there were over 200 Chassidic groups, now there are only about a dozen or so with the largest being the Chabad Lubavich.What are Hasidic Jews and what difference does it make?
True. They see Christians as more of a threat to their existence than radical jihadi Islam. They even see the more secular Israeli society as a threat. As a result they are very insular. They have even gotten exemption from Israel's universal service law. (everyone spends 2 years in the Israeli Defense Force)They would probably never join an organization such as "International Fellowship of Christians and Jews".
Thanks for the clarification. It must be quite a mad atmosphere to be in Israel with all the different sects vying to be heard.Chasidic Jews are an offshoot of Orthodoxy started in the early 1700s by Rabbi Yisroel ben Eliezer, known as the Baal Shem Tov.

Indeed. The Haredi stay away from most of the country and keep to their own communities. But other groups like Shas party (orthodox Sephardi Jews) and Yad Vashem (hand of God) seemingly interested in specifically on finding and expelling US - Messianics.Thanks for the clarification.

Tactics for media attention ... I can't help but compare that with a part of the statue that Nebacanezer saw, called media (off-topic I know )I suspect that the guy in the videos must have specifically went into a Haredi area; KNOWING that he would have a very poor reception.
lol, just think, in N. Korea there wouldn't be all that vying but the Christian would fair even worse.Thanks for the clarification. It must be quite a mad atmosphere to be in Israel with all the different sects vying to be heard.
Yes it seemed more a territorial thing with the Jews claiming rights to God yet not wanting to defend their position.lol, just think, in N. Korea there wouldn't be all that vying but the Christian would fair even worse.
I don't know why the word 'Christian' is used in the thread. I did not hear any gospel witnessing going on. What I did see going on was provocation by the tourist (?). As far as I can tell, he didn't come with the Gospel. I can't imagine the fireworks if he had.
They are the Ultra Orthodox Jews; some of whom don't recognize Israel as Jewish enough for them.What are Hasidic Jews and what difference does it make?
