<p>In May 2010, the <a href="http://www.bethelbinah.org/">Congregation Beth el Binah</a> reported receiving a package from Westboro Baptist Church &#8220;hate group&#8221; labeled &#8220;Obama Hates Israel,&#8221; with a DVD &#8220;Jews killed Jesus&#8221;; this was <a href="http://www.dallasvoice.com/instant-tea/god-hates-jews-is-the-new-theme-for-americas-most-hated-family/">reported by the Dallas Voice on May 6, 2010.</a></p>
<p>In Dallas, a <a href="http://www.rcdallas.org/">non-profit organization the Resource Center Dallas</a> is <a href="http://www.rcdallas.org/release/wbc-protest-fundraiser.doc">calling for members of the north Texas community to donate a dollar for each minute that the Westboro Baptist Church protests</a> the <a href="http://www.bethelbinah.org/">Congregation Beth el Binah</a>, which has outreach to the LGBT community of Dallas.  Resource Center Dallas Associate Executive Director Bret Camp has stated that &#8220;the protestors have been known to abandon their protests when they&#8217;re turned into a fundraiser.&#8221;</p>
<p>The <a href="http://thejewishstar.wordpress.com/2009/09/17/fringe-baptist-group-to-bring-hate-to-great-neck/#more-9218">Jewish  Star has reported on the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC)</a>: &#8220;The automated telephone greeting at  the Westboro Baptist Church features a pleasant, Southern-accented  female voice who advises if you are a &#8216;Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, or  Christ-rejecting Jew,&#8217; that &#8216;God hates you all.&#8217;&#8221;</p>
<p>On June 24, 2010, the <a href="http://www.realcourage.org/2010/06/wbc-praises-terrorism/">WBC  also praised &#8220;world terror&#8221; and terrorist attacks on humanity</a>.  The  WBC group has praised <a href="../2010/05/wbc-mosque-bombing/">terrorist  bombings on a  Somalia mosque</a>, <a href="../2010/05/wbc-praises-attack-on-iraq-christians/">praised   terrorist attacks against Iraqi Christians</a>, and has praised <a href="../2010/03/westboro-hate-group-cheers-police-shooting/">the   shooting</a> and <a href="../2010/05/wbc-detroit-police/">the murder</a> of police  officers.  At the end of <a href="../2010/04/westboro-baptist-church-hate-group-finds-ally-in-dove-world-outreach/">April   2010, the Florida-based Dove World Outreach group decided to support   and defend the WBC</a>, and held a joint march with the WBC &#8220;hate   group.&#8221;   Dove World Outreach&#8217;s objective is to <a href="../2009/11/dove-world-outreach-center/">promote  a message  that &#8220;Islam is of the Devil.&#8221;</a> On July 4, the WBC&#8217;s ally <a href="http://www.realcourage.org/2010/07/dove-anti-mosque-protest/">Dove World Outreach held their own protest against an Islamic mosque in Gainesville, Florida.</a></p>
<p>==========================</p>
<p>Some view the Westboro Baptist Church <a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5j90-Kn_mjRl00SL_y3MwGg6YE0TQD9GQGV580">as  merely &#8220;fundamentalist.&#8221;</a> We challenge that definition and instead  view their efforts to seek to deny freedom of religion, freedom of  worship to others by intimidation tactics, as well as their <a href="../2010/05/wbc-mosque-bombing/">history  of praising</a> <a href="../2010/05/wbc-praises-attack-on-iraq-christians/">violence  against others</a> and <a href="../2010/05/wbc-detroit-police/">praising  violence against law enforcement</a>, as nothing less than a &#8220;Christian  supremacist&#8221; <a href="http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/hate-map#s=KS">&#8220;hate  group.&#8221;</a> We call upon all Christians to denounce the Westboro Baptist  Church&#8217;s activities and their interpretation of Christianity as not  representing the views of most Christians around the world.</p>
<p>==========================</p>
<p><a href="http://www.realcourage.org/">Responsible for Equality And  Liberty (R.E.A.L.)</a> <a href="http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/index.shtml">supports our   universal human rights</a>, including our universal human right of  dignity, and our universal human rights of freedom of religion, freedom  of worship, and freedom of conscience.   <a href="http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/index.shtml#a18">Article  18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states:</a> &#8220;Everyone  has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right  includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either  alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest  his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.&#8221;</p>
<p>We condemn such protests against houses of worship as seeking to  intimidate and spread fear among those seeking their universal human  rights of freedom of worship.   We urge those whose hearts are burdened by hate against others to remove the burden of hate from their hearts, and to find common cause with their fellow human beings in being responsible for equality and liberty together.</p>
<p>We  urge all to <strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Choose Love,  Not Hate, Love Wins.</span></strong></p>

Water rescues and helicopter extractions were performed as waters rushed over hundreds of roads through cities, towns and neighborhoods. Many residents have lost all of their possessions as homes were destroyed or sustained major damages.&#8221;</p>

<p>In March, the WBC <a href="http://www.realcourage.org/2010/03/westboro-hate-group-cheers-police-shooting/">praised the shooting of a police officer in New York City</a>.  On May 3, 2010, the WBC is <a href="http://blogs.sparenot.com/index.php/godsmacks/2010/05/03/godsmack-detroit-shooting">now praising the shooting of a police officer in Detroit</a> that <a href="http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/23430268/detail.html#">resulted in the police officer&#8217;s death</a>.</p>
<p>The &#8220;Westboro Baptist Church&#8221; (WBC) is <a href="http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/hate-map#s=KS">listed as    a &#8220;hate group&#8221; by the Southern Poverty Law Center</a>.</p>
<p>On May 3, 2010, <a href="http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/23430268/detail.html#">ClickonDetroit reported on the shooting</a> of multiple police officers in Detroit, which resulted in the wounding of four police officers, and the death of Officer Brian Huff.  The <a href="http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/23430268/detail.html#">report described</a> Officer Huff&#8217;s commitment to Detroit law enforcement and the loss to his widow and 10 year old son.  The <a href="http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/23430268/detail.html#">Detroit news report stated</a> &#8220;Huff graduated from the police academy when he was 32. He has worked with in the Public Housing Unit and the Gaming Unit before joining the Eastern District in 2004.&#8221;  Officer Huff literally gave his life in his commitment to law and justice in Detroit.</p>

<p>The Westboro Baptist Church <a href="http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/hate-map#s=KS">&#8220;hate group&#8221;</a> chose to mock the sacrifice of Officer Huff&#8217;s life <a href="http://blogs.sparenot.com/index.php/godsmacks/2010/05/03/godsmack-detroit-shooting">by praising his shooter</a>, <a href="http://blogs.sparenot.com/index.php/godsmacks/2010/05/03/godsmack-detroit-shooting">stating</a> <em> &#8220;THANK GOD FOR THE DETROIT SHOOTER &#8211; 1 OFFICER DEAD; 4 WOUNDED! &#8220;God blessed Detroit; they waxed worse in greed, fornication, adultery, and homosexuality&#8230;.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="../2010/06/">Responsible  for Equality  And Liberty  (R.E.A.L.)</a> supports <a href="http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/index.shtml">our universal    human rights</a> of <a href="http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/index.shtml#a18">freedom  of   religion, freedom of conscience, and freedom of worship</a> for ALL    people &#8212; without exception.</p>
<p>R.E.A.L. condemns the actions of any individual who claims to be representing a religious view of any kind when they commit terrorism.  R.E.A.L. is disappointed in the failure of the Jerusalem courts to swiftly and expeditiously prosecute Yaakov Teitel, and we urge the Israeli people and the Israeli government to speak out on this disgrace.</p>
<p>On May 4, 2010, a Jerusalem district psychiatrist submitted an evaluation to an Israeli court that <a href="http://www.haaretz.com/news/national/jewish-terror-suspect-unfit-to-stand-trial-1.288172">accused &#8220;Jewish terrorist&#8221; Yaakov Teitel was unfit to stand trial</a>.</p>
<p>In November 2009, American Jewish immigrant to Israel, Yaakov &#8220;Jack&#8221; Teitel, had been charged with murder and attempted murder, as a result of reported &#8220;hate crimes&#8221; over a 12 year period against Muslims, Arabs, homosexuals, leftists, Jews, and Messianic Jews.</p>
<p>Israeli Haaretz and other media have described Mr. Teitel as a &#8220;Jewish terrorist.&#8221;  <a href="http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/cool-calculated-jewish-terrorist-shows-no-remorse-in-court-1.4242">Haaretz previously reported</a> that Mr. Teitel&#8217;s alleged crimes included &#8220;two murders, four attempted murders, four cases of incitement, three weapons violations, four cases of illegally manufacturing weapons, one arson and threats motivated by hate.&#8221;</p>
<p>In <a href="http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/cool-calculated-jewish-terrorist-shows-no-remorse-in-court-1.4242">Haaretz&#8217;s report &#8220;Cool, calculated &#8216;Jewish terrorist&#8217; shows no remorse in court,&#8221;</a> it stated that the &#8220;charge sheet states everything was premeditated,&#8221; and that Mr. Teitel stated &#8216;It is a pleasure and an honor to serve my Lord. I do not regret it,&#8217; he shouted during a hearing to extend his remand, adding that he had no doubt that God approved of his actions.&#8221;</p>
<p>Both <a href="http://www.haaretz.com/news/national/jewish-terror-suspect-unfit-to-stand-trial-1.288172">Haaretz</a> and <a href="http://www.ynetnews.com/PicServer2/17112009/2307320/2_wa.jpg">Yedioth Ahronoth</a> have published photographs of Yaakov Teitel smiling at previous trials.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.haaretz.com/news/national/suspected-jewish-terrorist-unfit-to-stand-trial-evaluation-says-1.288172">Haaretz: &#8220;Suspected Jewish terrorist unfit to stand trial, evaluation says&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Israel&#8217;s Haaretz news:</a> &#8220;Yaakov (Jack) Teitel was charged last November with the murder of 2 Palestinians, 3 counts of attempted murder.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; <a href="http://www.haaretz.com/news/national/jewish-terror-suspect-unfit-to-stand-trial-1.288172">Haaretz</a>: &#8220;Teitel, a resident of the settlement Shvut Rachel, was charged last November with murdering two Palestinians and attempting to murder three people, including Hebrew University Professor Zeev Sternhell and Ariel teenager Ami Ortiz. Ortiz, from a family of Messianic Jews, was gravely wounded by a bomb packaged inside a Purim gift in March 2008.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; &#8220;In the evaluation, submitted to the court Tuesday, Jerusalem&#8217;s district psychiatrist wrote that Teital had been declared unfit as a result of flaws in the way in which he perceived his alleged actions.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; &#8220;It should be noted, however, that the ruling does not affect Teitel&#8217;s responsibility for the crimes attributed to him, as he is charged with many separate events spread across eleven years. In order for the defense to claim his mental state affected his accountability for these crimes the defense would have to prove he was legally insane in each one of those incidents.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; &#8220;The evaluation will, however, likely bring about a postponement of Teitel&#8217;s trial, until there is an improvement in his mental state.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8211; <a href="http://www.jpost.com/Israel/Article.aspx?id=174671">Jerusalem Post: &#8220;Psychiatrist: Tytel unfit for trial&#8221;</a><br />
<a href="http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/suspected-jewish-terrorist-admits-to-anti-missionary-activities-1.263044">February 10, 2010 &#8211; Haaretz: &#8220;Suspected Jewish terrorist admits to anti-missionary activities&#8221;<br />
</a>&#8211; &#8220;Anti-missionary group gained notoriety in recent years for its actions against Messianic Jews.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Haaretz: &#8220;Suspected Jewish terrorist Yaakov (Jack) Teitel told his interrogators he was an active member of anti-missionary group Yad L&#8217;achim for five years, Haaretz has learned.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/fbi-and-shin-bet-began-tracking-jewish-terrorist-year-before-arrest-1.261271">January 12, 2010 &#8211; Haaretz: &#8220;FBI and Shin Bet began tracking &#8216;Jewish terrorist&#8217; year before arrest&#8221;<br />
</a>&#8211; &#8220;Teitel refuses to cooperate with his attorney, saying he does not recognize court&#8217;s authority.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Haaretz: &#8220;A year prior to Yakov &#8216;Jack&#8217; Teitel&#8217;s arrest, the Shin Bet and the FBI were in close contact as part of an investigation into bombings targeting homosexuals, messianic Christians and left-wing figures, Haaretz has learned.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; &#8220;The Israeli authorities considered translating the pamphlets on how to make explosive devices the bomber had made for dissemination to other intelligence services in the hope of possibly finding a link through their data bases.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.haaretz.com/news/u-s-immigrant-gets-expulsion-order-for-supporting-jewish-terrorist-1.261127">January 10, 2010 &#8211; Haaretz: &#8220;U.S. immigrant gets expulsion order for supporting &#8216;Jewish terrorist&#8217;&#8221;<br />
</a>&#8220;The 22-year-old was vocal in supporting Yaakov Teitel&#8217;s alleged murder of a Palestinian.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; &#8220;A young American immigrant was recently expelled from the West Bank for allegedly supporting &#8216;Jewish terrorist&#8217; Yaakov Teitel.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; &#8220;Teitel was charged in November with two murders, three attempted murders and other acts of violence. The indictment also lists Teitel&#8217;s efforts for more than a decade to harm Arabs, gays and lesbians, leftists, police officers and messianic Jews.&#8221;<br />
<a href="http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/cool-calculated-jewish-terrorist-shows-no-remorse-in-court-1.4242">November 13, 2009 &#8211; Haaretz: &#8220;Cool, calculated &#8216;Jewish terrorist&#8217; shows no remorse in court&#8221;<br />
&#8211; Haaretz reports</a>: &#8220;The indictment against Yaakov (Jack) Teitel on Thursday presented an image of a precise, trained terrorist who operated for 12 years, leaving nearly no trace. Until he was caught.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; &#8220;&#8216;It is a pleasure and an honor to serve my Lord. I do not regret it,&#8217; he shouted during a hearing to extend his remand, adding that he had no doubt that God approved of his actions.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3801138,00.html">November 6, 2009 &#8211; Yedioth Ahronoth: &#8220;Teitel operated by Shin Bet in past&#8221;<br />

&#8211; Alex Fishman</a>: &#8221; It’s impossible that he raised no suspicions for such a long time. But the fact is, nobody informed authorities. Even when he was held up for questioning, he was released for lack of evidence.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; &#8220;So what does the next murderer conclude about the Shin Bet&#8217;s ability to cover and penetrate such small communities? There is nobody to fear. Law enforcement authorities don&#8217;t reach these places.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1163617.html">West Bank: &#8220;Two Palestinian cars torched, scrawled with &#8216;price tag&#8217; graffiti&#8221;</a><br />
&#8211; <a href="http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1163617.html">Haaretz reports</a>: &#8220;Two vehicles in a Palestinian village in the northern West Bank were torched early Friday. The vandals, who have not yet been located, scrawled the words &#8216;price tag&#8217; on one of the cars.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; &#8220;The incident was apparently carried out by settlers, who have taken on the phrase price tag as part of their protest against Israel&#8217;s temporary construction freeze in the West Bank.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; &#8220;A similar incident was carried out on Wednesday morning, when unknown vandals sprayed a Star of David with the name Mohammed beside it on a mosque in the West Bank village of Hawara.&#8221;<br />
&#8211; &#8220;The words &#8216;Thank you God, for not making me a Gentile&#8217; were spray-painted elsewhere in the village and two cars were torched in another location. No suspects have yet been caught.&#8221;</p>
