My good friend who lives just north of Tel Aviv once opined that Christians were better than Jews or Muslims because they "weren't shooting at each other all the time." *gawk* <BR/><BR/>I said, <I>If you grow up in the mainstream culture in Israel, to you, Christianity is a strange, fringe religion whose believers mostly live far away, and most of your experiences with Christians will be shaped by either Maronites or Europeans. I should mention that it's also illegal to proselytize in Israel, so they don't get exposed to very many missionaries, either. (I personally think that's a draconian law and very distasteful, but I understand why it's there: If it weren't, every fundie wingnut in the world would be in Israel, trying to convert everyone else, and I don't like that idea much, either.)</I><BR/><BR/>From the comments of the Israeli tourism minister, it sounds like he has an inkling, and just doesn't care, so long as the tourist dollars keep flowing (maybe he's relying on the anti-evangelism laws), but I'd be willing to bet there'd be a great deal of protest among average Israelis if they actually knew what a bunch of Jew-hating deranged scumbags Made Marion and his gang of Robbin' Hood(lum)s actually are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
