c'è puzza di bruciato

TEL AVIV - Le immagini di decine di testi cristiani ridotti in ceneri
fumanti nella cittadina di Or Yehuda, presso Tel Aviv, hanno destato
ieri incredulità e sdegno in Israele. A denunciare la profanazione è
stato, con grande energia, il quotidiano Maariv. Espressioni di
esecrazione sono poi giunte da opinionisti, intellettuali, e da
privati cittadini in conversazioni alla radio o in interventi nei siti
Internet. MA NESSUN ESPONENTE DI GOVERNO NE' ALCUNA PERSONALITA'
RABBINICA HA FINORA PROTESTATO PUBBLICAMENTE
Secondo il giornale l'episodio è avvenuto giovedì quando il
vicesindaco di Or Yehuda Uzi Aharon, un ebreo ortodosso sefardita, ha
avuto sentore che in un rione era stata appena distribuita «propaganda
di missionari». Su sua istruzione, gli allievi di un collegio
rabbinico sono passati di casa in casa per raccogliere i libri (vi
erano testi del Vecchio e Nuovo Testamento e anche pubblicazioni in
ebraico a sostegno della dottrina di Gesù) che sono stati poi raccolti
in un campo e dati alle fiamme.
«Secondo la nostra ortodossia, un libro che incita contro gli ebrei
può essere arso» ha poi osservato.
«Se c'è motivo di scandalo - ha concluso - esso scaturisce dalle
attività dei missionari cristiani, che bruciano le anime di fedeli
ebrei».

He (Aharon) said he regretted the burning of the books, but called
it a "commandment" to burn materials that urge Jews to convert.
"I certainly don't denounce the burning of the booklets," he said. "I
denounce those who distributed the booklets."
Still, the concept of a Jew burning books is abhorrent to many in
Israel because of the association with Nazis torching piles of Jewish
books during the Holocaust of World War II.
Earlier this year, the teenage son of a prominent Christian missionary
was seriously wounded when a package bomb delivered to the family's
West Bank home went off in his hands.
Last year, arsonists burst into a Jerusalem church used by Messianic
Jews and set the building on fire, raising suspicions that Jewish
extremists were behind the attack. No one claimed responsibility, but
the same church was burned down 25 years ago by ultra-Orthodox Jewish
extremists.

Russian human rights center urges Israel to assess the fact of burning
the New Testament books in Or Yehuda
Moscow, May 21, Interfax - Human rights center of the World Russian
People's Council is outraged with "unprecedented act of blasphemy" in
Israeli town of Or Yehuda.
"Demonstrative mass burning of the New Testament books as a protest
against obtrusiveness of some missionaries is outrageous. The fact
that it was organized by a state official and carried out by students
of a Jewish educational institution on the 60th anniversary of the
Israel state is unmasked challenge to the Jewish-Christian dialogue,"
the Human rights center statement reads as it has been conveyed to
Interfax-Religion on Wednesday.
"It is absolutely impossible to imagine that local officials in
Russia, Europe or the USA urge seminarians to burn holy Jewish books
as a whatsoever protest," human rights advocates stressed.
They hope that Israeli authorities will adequately react to the anti-
Christian action and urge Jewish leaders "to assess this provocation
so that it wouldn't reach its goals and provoke deterioration in
Jewish-Christian relations in the world."

la difesa d'ufficio:
Despite the allusions being made to the burning of Jewish holy books
during the times of the inquisition or the holocaust, there is
absolutely no comparison here. The New Testaments and evangelistic
leaflets had been basically thrown out -- they were unsolicited
garbage, and there is no law against incinerating garbage, even by
religious Jews, even in public.
we read in 2 Chronicles 34:33 that "Josiah removed all the
abominations from all the country that belonged to the children of
Israel, and made all who were present in Israel diligently serve the
Lord their God. All his days they did not depart from following the
Lord God of their fathers." Now, King Josiah removed the objects of
heresy and idolatry forcibly, he did not give the citizens a choice in
the matter, including regarding their service to God and this is where
the two stories diverge. Truth be told, we could go on about how the
burning of the New Testaments was simply an exercise in freedom of
expression or even freedom of religion.
But the bottom line is this: there was no persecution or violence
against Christians here, and no one was forced to do anything he/she
didn't want to do. If anything, it is the missionaries who are guilty
and deserve to be brought to trial for mass harassment, not to mention
the countless number of trees who senselessly gave their lives for the
printing of the unwanted material and the ridiculous amount of space
this story is now taking up on web pages and newspapers the world
over.
