Thank you for your consistency of prayers in this matter.. May God continue to bless this ministry and you for participating in it.Once a week as part of an inter-faith county prayer ministry my husband and I set apart a time to pray for Israel and the Peace of Jerusalem. This and various county and state prayer objectives are being done by various churches 24/7. Our church team prays every Monday when we all sign up for half hour or hour commitments. Been doing this for almost two years (when this ministry began in our county) and during this time the Lord has increased my own awareness of the significance of the chosen people in God's plan not only historically but in this present age. I will continue to pray as long as so directed and part of this awesome ministry. So far this has led me to make more inquiries from several, celebrate Passover, and even come to this section to learn more.
That's a standard Jewish belief; he's not saying anything new.
How do we know that the money is distributed through the Interior Ministry into groups that oppose Messianics?
If they want "Christian money" that sounds like a stupid thing to do.

Its Normal for Jews to Spit on Christians in Jerusalem, says Top Catholic
It is normal for Jews to spit on Christians in the streets of Jerusalem, a senior Catholic church leader in that city, Father Pierbattista Pizzaballa, custos (Latin for guardian ) of holy sites on behalf of the Vatican has said.
Quoted in an interview in the Haaretz newspaper after a new arson and vandalism attack on a Trappist Monastery in Latrun, upon which the words Jesus was a monkey was scrawled in Hebrew, Pizzaballa cautioned Israelis over how Christians are treated in Israel.
In a reference to the long-standing, continual incidents of Orthodox Jewish extremists in Jerusalem spitting at Christian clergy, Pizzaballa said: When I came to the country, I was told that I should know that if I walk around with a frock in the city [of Jerusalem], people would spit on me, and I shouldnt be offended, its normal.
No matter how high his position, any priest who makes his way around the city will sooner or later be spat upon and cursed by a yeshiva student, he added.
Pizzaballa, who has been living in Israel for 22 years, is the head of the Franciscan order in the Middle East. As custos, he is one of the senior figures in the Catholic Church and has custody of most of the Christian holy sites in the country, including Jerusalems Church of the Holy Sepulcher, which Christians regard as the site of Jesus crucifixion and resurrection, and Bethelems Church of the Nativity.
After more than two decades here, he said he knows the areas of Jerusalem where he is at risk of being spat upon, including the area of Jaffa Gate and the Armenian Quarter.
This weeks vandalism at the Latrun monastery is the latest in a recent streak of attacks on Christian institutions.
In February, following incidents in Jerusalem, Pizzaballa wrote to President Shimon Peres that in recent years, he and his colleagues had learned to ignore provocations, but that now they were escalating to the point that they had become intolerable.
Following his letter to Peres, however, anti-Christian animosity even surfaced in the Knesset, after Christian bibles were sent to parliament members and National Union MK Michael Ben Ari ripped a copy of the New Testament in front of the camera.
It was shocking, said Pizzaballa. If you as a Jew want people to respect you, you need to respect others. There are billions of Christians for whom this book is holy.
He also took exception to what he said was the weak response by the political system and the public at large to Ben Aris act, saying it was limited to statements that Ben Ari didnt need to do what he did. Its a lack of sensitivity, said the cleric. Such a serious thing occurs and no one does anything. In practice, it negates our existence here.
israel and palestine religious conflictThat's one person's rather biased opinion piece. Noted, but discarded thereafter.
according to that fact sheet in post 48, Jews treat Christians like dirt. That is very anti Christ like behavior. A true Christian would never support them.

No man is innocent of crucifying Christ.... quite playing the blame game.he called Jews a nest of vipers, so he did not look to fondly at Jews. After all it was the Jews who plotted to have Jesus crucified.
[bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] The Jews crucified Jesus through the Romans. At the time of Jesus' crucifixion, the Romans had conquered all the area in which Jesus lived and taught. The Romans allowed the Jews to continue with their Sanhedrin (their government), but the Romans took away capital punishment from the Jews. In order to have Jesus crucified, the Jewish leaders had to manipulate Rome into doing it. First, the Jewish leaders had to lie - make up charges (Luke 23: 2, 3). The Jewish leaders persisted in their demands for crucifixion (vss. 5-19). New Testament writers charged the Jews with having crucified Jesus (Acts 2: 36, 3: 13-17).
It seems you don't much like Jews. Let me point out the obvious....your Messiah and savior was a Jew. And I doubt he would be very pleased with how you speak about his people.
No man is innocent of crucifying Christ.... quite playing the blame game.
