FULL TITLE: Ultra-Orthodox Jews who moved from Canada to Guatemalan village to find 'religious freedom' are forced to leave because the locals don't like them

A community of Orthodox Jews have been expelled from their homes in a bitter conflict with hostile villagers.

Just a few months after fleeing from Canada amid allegations of child abuse, members of the Lev Tahor community were forced to leave San Juan La Laguna in Guatemala yesterday.

The village Elder's Council voted to kick them out because the group refused to greet or have physical contact with the community, according to a member of the council. Miguel Vasquez Cholotio, a member of the elders' council, said the villagers decided to expel the group because they refused to greet or have physical contact with the community.

'We felt intimidated by them in the streets. We thought they wanted to change our religion and customs,' he said.

Antonio Ixtamer, who lives in the community, said that several members of the group had upset residents because of their 'arrogant' attitude.

He said they would go into stores and pay whatever they wanted for the products rather than the marked price and that they bothered tourists.

'On one occasion there was a tourist taking pictures of a hill and the Jews thought he was taking photos of them and they clashed,' Ixtamer said.

This group sounds as Jewish as Warren Jeffs is a Mormon and as David Koresh was a Christian..

Basically

The group rejects the state of Israel because it views the Jews as a people who must remain in exile

And who's fault is that? They expect to be welcomed into Catholic communities, however. They're led by a Jim Jones type of Rabbi, more cultists than orthodox.

The Guatemalans who have no problem casting away their people to the USA so they can illegally enter Our country have some nerve to cast away immigrants to their own country.

Just a bunch of hypocrites who have no respect for other cultures.

No problem, they can just walk over the southern border.

Guatamalans in Guatamala are the ones that have stayed in their own country to make a life for themselves, how are they hypocrites just because other Guatamalans are illegal immigrants in the US?
