This is indeed very interesting. Surprising to say the least.
In communications with Israeli bloggers in the last couple of years I have been surprised to learn a couple of things.
Many if not most Israeli Jews wholly discount the argument that the only difference between a torah believing Jew who also believes Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah is one of timing of the Messiah’s visitation to mankind. Once a Jew accepts Jesus as Messiah he has wholly left the religion of Judaism to their way of thinking.
The other even more shocking discovery I made is how much many Jews deeply hate any Christian evangelism or proslytising. I have been told it is an extension of the genocide of the Jews. Indeed that it is in fact genocide.
Yeah, it is a tough situation, the lines were drawn a looong time ago unfortunately, I can see both sides of the matter though, the Messianics no doubt feel they are still Jewish, the serious Jews think they have left the Religion and that lessens Israel as a whole.
ehh, what can anyone do but love G#d and their neighbors?
