Or Yehuda deputy mayor incites burning of New Testament, then apologizes
Over at Yeshive World News Yechiel Spira reports:
Backed by Shas officials, students from Or Yehuda yeshivas gathered hundreds of copies of the new testament along with missionary materials, which were later taken to a central location in the city and set ablaze last Thursday night.
Shas officials in Or Yehuda explain that missionaries are working with fervor in the city, which they point out is against Israeli law.
Attorney Meyers, representing the missionaries, told Galei Tzahal (Army Radio) on Tuesday that the action of the Orthodox Jews is illegal and immoral, drawing an analogy to the Nazis who burned Jewish books, leading to violence and the Holocaust.
