All the nations of the world would soon be marching on
Israel, led by President Obama
WASHINGTON (JTA) -- After years of focusing on gays and lesbians with
its protests, the Westboro Baptist Church
has a new target -- the Jewish community.
The Topeka, Kan.-based church, which features the slogan "God Hates
Fags," protested at three Jewish sites here last
Friday afternoon. The protests are part of a series of upcoming rallies
that will bring members of the church to Jewish
community institutions in Omaha, St. Louis, South Florida and
Providence in the next few weeks, according to the
church's Web site and fliers the group is distributing that list
scheduled protests and proclaim "Jews Killed the Lord
Jesus."
Deborah Lauter, the ADL's director of civil rights, said the church has
always been "anti-Semitic" but never targeted the
Jewish community until recently. She said the ADL isn't entirely sure
what triggered the new focus on Jews, but
speculated that the help the ADL provided to a school that the church
picketed last month for performing the musical
"Rent" could have something to do with it.
Alluding to prophecy in the book of Revelation, Phelps said that all
the nations of the world would soon be marching on
Israel, led by President Obama, whom she called the "antichrist."
She said "Israel is doomed" and that only the 144,000
"righteous Jews out there" would survive the "persecution" that
all other Jews will experience
NO coincidence. The wrath of Hashem, AND the evil work of the Rasha Gamur, who had a conference with the heads of all the churches, didn't you read what I sent you? HE DID THAT RIGHT ON HAR ZION, during his idolatrous minyan against which I repeatedly warned the rabbis, chief rabbis whoever wanted to hear.
the RABBIS refused to listen, they thought they were smarter than the Torah.
Because of CHET HAMERAGLIM, the Jews of Chuts laaretz who refused to come to Eretz Yisrael, THE RABBIS, including Rav Eliashiv, PERMITTED THE ABOMINATION TO TAKE PLACE, so as not to endanger YOU, JEWS OF AMERICA, EUROPE, ETC.
AND LOOK WHAT IT BROUGHT UPON YOUR HEADS!!??
NOW DO YOU GET IT? Will you get your family here , NOW??? before they attack you personally???
DS
it is a strange coincidence.
2.DS replied:
Didn't I just WARN YOU, not even 2 hours ago???

Militant anti-gay church turns its sights on Jews
By Eric Fingerhut · May 12, 2009
WASHINGTON (JTA) -- After years of focusing on gays and lesbians with
its protests, the Westboro Baptist Church
has a new target -- the Jewish community.
The Topeka, Kan.-based church, which features the slogan "God Hates
Fags," protested at three Jewish sites here last
Friday afternoon. The protests are part of a series of upcoming rallies
that will bring members of the church to Jewish
community institutions in Omaha, St. Louis, South Florida and
Providence in the next few weeks, according to the
church's Web site and fliers the group is distributing that list
scheduled protests and proclaim "Jews Killed the Lord
Jesus."
Led by Pastor Fred Phelps, the 71-member church, according to
Anti-Defamation League research, first gained
notoriety about a decade ago when it began picketing the funerals of
gays or those they thought were gay -- including
Matthew Shepard, who was the victim of an anti-gay attack.
In recent years, church members frequently have protested outside the
funerals of soldiers killed in Iraq and
Afghanistan, or at other events that are likely to bring news coverage
and, in turn, publicity to the church. One such
event was the funeral of three young girls killed in a traffic
accident.
While picketing outside the Washington office of the Anti-Defamation
League last Friday, Phelps' daughter Margie told
JTA that the group is now focusing on the Jewish community because
church members have been "testifying" to
gentiles for 19 years that "America is doomed" and they haven't
gotten the message.
"Now it's too late," she said. "We're done with them."
Margie Phelps added, "one of the loudest voices" in favor of
homosexuality and abortion is "the Jews, especially the
rabbis."
"They claim to be God's chosen people," she said. "Do you think
that God is going to wink at that forever?"
Deborah Lauter, the ADL's director of civil rights, said the church has
always been "anti-Semitic" but never targeted the
Jewish community until recently. She said the ADL isn't entirely sure
what triggered the new focus on Jews, but
speculated that the help the ADL provided to a school that the church
picketed last month for performing the musical
"Rent" could have something to do with it.
Mark Potok, director of the Southern Poverty Law Center's Intelligence
Project tracking hate groups, said he didn't
think there was any real significance to the church's new focus on
Jews.
"With a group willing to picket the funerals of little girls killed
in a school bus crash, it's hard to be surprised by anything
they do," Potok said.
"They're the farthest fringe," he said, noting that even hard-line
anti-gay groups are embarrassed by Phelps' church.
Lauter added that the protesters are not violent and don't try to
recruit others to their cause. But they are provocative
and are "baiting the Jewish community to respond."
"We're advising Jewish institutions not to give them the publicity
they crave," she said, and not engage the protesters.
In Washington, the group first picketed the funeral of former
congressman Jack Kemp, and then protested outside the
ADL offices, the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and the city's largest
synagogue, Washington Hebrew
Congregation. (The group positioned itself across the street from the
museum -- on the edge of the National Mall --
meaning that visitors to the museum that afternoon did not even
necessarily see them when entering the facility.)
Margie Phelps and three fellow church members stood on the sidewalk and
held signs stating that "God Hates Israel,"
"Jews Killed Jesus," "America Is Doomed," "Israel Is
Doomed," and "ADL Jew Bullies." One of the four women had an
Israeli flag tied around h
er waist that dragged on the ground; she
stepped on the flag as she walked.
Alluding to prophecy in the book of Revelation, Phelps said that all
the nations of the world would soon be marching on
Israel, led by President Obama, whom she called the "antichrist."
She said "Israel is doomed" and that only the 144,000
"righteous Jews out there" would survive the "persecution" that
all other Jews will experience.
