I believe I mentioned how the Israelis, by their conduct, managed to convert
the Diggings Tour group from mildly pro-Israel to fairly keen
pro-Palestinians. I have just had news of another group that has probably
undergone the same conversion.

Ultra-Orthodox Jews attack Christian tourists in Jerusalem
By Jonathan Lis, Haaretz Correspondent
A group of 50 pro-Israel Christian tourists came under attack Wednesday from
some 100 residents of the ultra-Orthodox neighborhood of Mea She'arim in
Jerusalem. Three of the tourists and a police officer were wounded in the
attack. They received treatment at the scene.
The tourists arrived at Mea She'arim wearing orange T-shirts with the words
"Love your neighbor as yourself" printed across them. As they neared one of
the squares, the local residents apparently identified them as Christians
and began to hit them. Police forces in the area stepped in to stop the
violence, but did not make any arrests. Police say they are waiting for the
tourists to file official complaints.

God bless,
