READ MORE: israel today | Messianic Jews besieged in southern Israel - israel today: "Last week a huge mob of ultra-Orthodox Jews surrounded a Messianic Jewish congregation in the southern coastal city of Ashdod and demonstrated against what they called “the missionary situation.”
The chief rabbi of Ashdod participated in the event, and reportedly told the one thousand or so protestors that Messianic Jews are no better than Hitler. Ultra-Orthodox extremists often complain that Messianic Jews are trying to destroy the Jewish people by turning them into “Christians.”
“The missionaries want a final solution to the Jews, in the name of the same cursed name that created Christianity (he meant Jesus). That is what Hitler wanted,” local Messianic leaders Simcha and Bella Davidov quoted the chief rabbi as telling the crowd."
