Orthodox Jewish youths burn New Testaments in Israel
JERUSALEM, May 20 (AP): Orthodox Jews set fire
to hundreds of copies of the New Testament in the latest act of violence
against Christian missionaries in the Holy Land.
The books were dumped into a pile and set afire in a lot near a synagogue. The
Israeli Maariv daily reported Tuesday that hundreds
of Jewish religious school students took part in the book-burning. Israeli
authorities and Orthodox Jews frown on missionary activity aimed at Jews.
