Yes, it does seem like an awfully strong term. These people believe what they believe, and are eager to share it with others who they sincerely believe will benefit from it. However misguided their approach and/or their beliefs may be, they're hardly "enemies". Seems like everything out in that part of the world gets hyperpolarized -- not a healthy mindset IMO. Why should a 15 year old have been raised to believe that missionaries from other religions are "enemies"?
Exactly, if the Christian Missionaries are not insulting or defaming the Jewish Religion then what is all the hoopla about?
It seems to me that many in Israel STILL do not even know who Jesus is? they do not know he was a Jew who in fact was an Orthodox Jew? they have a pre-conceived idea that Christianity is like ISLAM.
This organization is working with youth without violence, hate, alcohol and drugs, I would think it would be embraced...
