Jews A New Focus for the Westboro Baptist Church
JTA, the Jewish news service, reports that Fred Phelps and his Westboro Baptist Church are now targeting Jews in their hateful campaigns.
Bearing signs reading, "The Jews Killed Jesus" and "Israel Is Doomed," members of the militant group have already appeared at three Jewish sites in Washington, and is planning to demonstrate at a host of others. The JTA reports that,
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."
