“Israeli” Knesset Member Tears Up Bible Copy
Local Editor
An "Israeli" lawmaker has torn up a copy of the New Testament to protest against the dissemination of the "despicable book", which was sent to members of parliament by a Christian organization.
According to sources, MP Michael Ben Ari of the ultra-nationalist National Union opposition party was one of the Knesset members who received by mail on Monday a copy of the "Book of Testaments".
It contains the Jewish Bible, known to Christians as the Old Testament, and the New Testament, the Gospels and epistles of the Christian faith written after the time of Jesus.
A letter sent with the book from the Bible Society in "Israel" director Victor Kalisher said the new edition "sheds light on the holy scriptures and helps understand them. In addition, the references show the close correlation" between the two.
A picture published on "Israeli" news website NRG-Maariv taken by Ben Ari's aide shows the lawmaker tearing up the book.

Christians & Muslims would never get away with this!
We can burn The Holy Quran, no punishment. We can rip apart the Holy Bible, no punishment. When someone sprays graffiti on “Zionist” synagogues, denies the Holocaust occurred or makes an accusation of any kind against “Israel”, the whole world bans together and cries, how unfair the “Israelis” &”Jews” are being treated. I wish the world would wake up and think before they rush to defend “Israel”, because someday I fear they will regret every action that they did to protect the “Zionist” entity!- Related News
