Jewish believers in Y’shua are under a
massive and coordinated attack by the enemies of the Gospel. Antimissionary Groups such as Outreach Judaism,
Jews for Judaism, and
the Messiah Truth Project continue to harass and intimidate individual
Messianic Jews and their groups. For
years these groups have used the rhetoric that all Messianic Jews are highly
paid missionaries, that we are not and never have been Jews, that we are
uneducated in Torah. Lately the
rhetoric has taken a harsher note, with claims that we exist only to steal
Jewish souls and as such we are worse than Hitler. Other groups of Gentile
believers are trying to steal the message and identity of the Messianic movement
for themselves. Antisemitic groups and psuedo-Messianic groups have begun to attack the Messianic Jews
by compromising the integrity of our witness and in some cases trying to
promote the subjugation of Jews to Anglo-Saxons who they claim are the lost
tribes.
The advent of world wide communications and global internet
communities through such services as Yahoo and Paltalk has produced a more
alarming trend toward personal attacks and intimidation, even to the point of
threats. The Messianic Defense League is dedicated to educating the
Messianic Movement and the public pertaining to the tactics, policies, and
persona of these so-called Anti-Missionary groups, which in our opinion,
actually a cult like missions outreach for a particularly hateful sub-sect of
Rabbinic Judaism. At this point in time we are gathering information in
preparation for a catalogue of techniques and activities of these groups.
We will also be preparing a guide to countering the attacks of such groups in the near future. Unlike
them, we are not soliciting funds. However,
we do solicit your prayer to the Most High G-d, that he will give us wisdom and
strength to combat this enemy of the gospel. We also solicit any and all information concerning harassment
by members of these groups… in particular:
