Members of controversial Jewish sect speak out against ill treatment at hands of religious Jews in wake of blast that severely injured 15-year-old youth belonging to their community.
Police are pushing ahead with the investigation into the explosion that wounded a 15-year-old youth in Ariel on Thursday. The explosive device is believed to have been concealed in a gift basket similar to those traditionally exchanged during the Purim holiday. The youth, who belongs to a family of Messianic Jews, is still hospitalized in serious condition at the Beilinson hospital in Petah Tikvah and underwent major surgery well into the early hours of Friday morning. Doctors were forced to sever one of his limbs and warn his eyesight is still in danger.
The Messianic Jewish community has voiced its outrage after initial reports linked the cause of the attack to the youth's religious affiliation. Some are now saying that the community has long since been subjected to harassment by religious Jews.

I think one of the most disturbing things about this article are some of the comments in the Talk Back section... very rabid! I pray the boy recovers... I pray for our brothers and sisters there who are up against the same vipers of Jesus' day.
