The leader of a Messianic Jewish ministry isn't surprised by the recent report of blatant anti-Semitism in Spain.
The Israeli Haaretz news service has reported that the government of Israel lodged a formal complaint with Spain, charging that anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism are being instilled in elementary school pupils across parts of the country. The Israeli embassy in Madrid has received dozens of postcards from five- and six-year-old children addressed to the Israeli envoy. They include handwritten messages such as "Kill Jews for Money," or "Evacuate the country for Palestinians," and "Go to someplace where someone will be willing to accept you." The Spanish envoy explained to the embassy that the postcards were a private project and not one that is part of Spain's education ministry. The Israelis still stressed that these types of initiatives have no place in schools and asked that steps be taken to end the campaign."This isn't just unique to Spain. [In] much of Europe, because of the Muslim influence...and because Spain and the other countries are trying to get along with the Muslims and grant them their Sharia law and things like this, Israel is on the sacrificial altar," contends Jan Markell, founder and director of Olive Tree Ministries. "And they don't really care about Israel. They care about appeasing the Muslim world." She believes Israel had no choice but to voice disapproval of the blatant anti-Semitism in Spain and virtually everywhere else in the world.
