John Leoffler Steel on Steel: Christian Persecution in Israel-Electoral Change? Anti-semitism!-Deerborn Duress! Jews for Jesus harassed!

Christian Persecution in Israel

We're featuring a potpourri show today.

A fast-moving agenda to eliminate the electoral college from the voting process in the United States is close to success. Tara Ross (www.taraross.com) is author of the book, "Enlightened Democracy: The Case for the Electoral College."

Many mainline churches are adopting an increasingly hostile attitude towards Israel, bordering on anti-semitism. The Presbyterian Church just had such a battle in its convention. Dexter van Zile from the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting (www.camera.org) comes on board for a report.

Freedom of speech is under duress once again. The city of Dearborn, Michigan, is under increasing criticism for arresting four Christians, who were peacefully handing out literature at an Arab festival in that city. Robert Muise is the attorney handling their case for the Thomas More Law Center (www.thomasmore.org).

Finally, we'll cover an often-overlooked area of persecution, where Jews who believe in Jesus as Messiah are harassed by ultra- Orthodox Jews in Israel. Eddie and Lura Beckford (www.kingsmenarad.com) have had their chess club firebombed and they premier on the program to describe these events in Israel.
