Israel News : Jerusalem Post Internet Edition - YMCA compares Israeli actions to crucifying Jesus

B'nai B'rith has issued a report sharply criticizing Jerusalem's Young Men's Christian Association and its women's affiliate for its array of pro-Palestinian activities, including a recent campaign undertaken by a group called "Free Palestine."


The report notes that, as part of the campaign, which is being spearheaded by the YMCA of "Palestine"and the eastern Jerusalem YWCA, a brochure was issued that compares the treatment of the Palestinians by Israel to the crucifixion of Jesus by the Romans.


The brochure states, "Jesus was crucified with the people who were branded as 'terrorists' by the authorities of this time. The Palestinians are currently crucified, humiliated, and denied their human rights and dignity." [...]
