*The author would like to thank his colleagues from "The Judean Hammer", Nathaniel Feingold and Moshe Schwartz for their comprehensive research which contributed greatly to this second article. Few people understand the issue better than they do, as well as the tremendous danger that the "hard targets" pose to the spiritual integrity of the Jewish people. Furthermore, even fewer are willing to address such provocative issues which render one pariah in mainstream circles.
“Kay Wilson was stabbed!!!!”
“Kay Wilson was stabbed!!!!”
The refrain of
neurotic, mainstream, Jewish hasbara (public relations) clowns whenever one questions
Israeli activist Kay Wilson about her documented messianic past, prior to the
attack on her life seven years ago by Arabs. Certainly, a powerful emotional argument,
since the incident involved the murder of her missionary friend, Kristine
Luken, and Wilson sustained her own brutal injuries with a machete. Her story is the stuff of nightmares. Arab barbarism personified.
The problem is
that many people are attacked horribly, both good people and bad people.
Tyrants have been torn apart by mobs, and the Turks would have eviscerated Vlad
Tepes long ago, if they had gotten a hold of him properly. Very often the madmen of ISIS butcher other equally terrible people who find
themselves in their cross-hairs. In the Muslim world, Sunnis and Shiites murder and maim one another all the time.
All incidents
must be viewed through a prism. Stabbings are terrible and we are
emotionally horrified when we consider how we may feel if something happened
like that to us or our loved ones. But not all targets are equal. Sometimes bad
people get assaulted. And if a missionary is assaulted, according to classical
Torah law, we don’t pity them because a missionary is a spiritual predator of Jews. Even
if barbaric Arabs caused the horror. So the authentic Jewish position would be
not to mourn the murder of a missionary or the attack on one, despite the barbaric
nature of the act. This is Judaism if we are being honest, since missionaries
are enemies of the Jewish people. See what our classical Jewish thinkers had to
say on such matters.
People are
sometimes assaulted terribly. Good people and some of the worst people. Being
stabbed doesn’t validate one’s worldview or ideology, or give a person an
exemption for such beliefs. To be stabbed must be one of the most horrible,
traumatic, experiences. None of us should know of it. I have friends who were
stabbed. On several occasions years ago, I was ALMOST stabbed, during a street
altercation with an anti-Semite. (How is your eye, buddy?) For that matter, I
have been almost bashed in the skull Ala Abraham and Glen (a “The Walking Dead”
reference) almost shot, and almost run over by a car. Would my views and
opinions have more validity if such things occurred, were I too survive?
No. The truth is
dependent on facts, not whether I survive violence or experience it. Facts are
determined by weighing the evidence. People process things differently. Some
people are honest. Many are less so. The question remains:
was Kay Wilson a messianic. At the time of the incident, the media widely
reported that she was. Screenshots attest to this. Messianic media and
mainstream papers like JPost and Haaretz. They have never been sued for libel
to my knowledge. Nor has Kay Wilson publicly stood up and demanded that they
remove it.
Testimonies: Compiled by Nathaniel Feingold:
- "Susan Wilson... joined the messianic Christian Mission to Jews (CMJ)" (Jewish Chronicle)
- "Kay Susan Wilson... her friend a co-worker at a Christian ministry... both worked for CMJ UK, a Christian ministry..." (CNN)
- "Wilson was a senior tour guide with Shoresh Study Tours of Israel... CMJ guides "are committed Christians"... Shoresh Tours, a CMJ company that organizes tours to Israel. Kaye Wilson, who is the senior tour guide for Shoresh..." (San Antonio Express News)
- "Kay Wilson, a tour guide who worked part time for Shoresh Tours, a Messianic tour company" (For Zion's Sake Ministries)
- Kay "Kishkush" Wilson (also identified as Kaye Wilson, Kay Susan Wilson, and Susan Wilson in some articles) is identified in these screenshots of articles by Haaretz and messianic sites Israel Today, Caspari Center Media Review, the Joshua Fund, Messianic Times, and others as:
- "a Messianic Jewish tour guide" (Haaretz)
- "a Messianic Jew" (Haaretz)
- "a Messianic sister" (Israel Today magazine)
- "an Israeli Messianic believer in Yeshua (Jesus)" (Israel Today)
- "an Israeli Messianic Jewess born in the UK" (Israel Today)
- "belongs to a Messianic Jewish congregation" (Caspari Center Media Review quoting Israel HaYom)
- "an Israeli believer in Jesus" (The Joshua Fund)
- "Messianic Jewish tour guide" (Messianic Times)
- "a Jewish believer" (Carrubbers Christian Centre)
- "a marvelous teacher with a great love for her adopted homeland and her fellow Jews. And of her Lord and savior." (Daniel Muth, who comments that his tour was guided by Kay in 2008)
At the time of the incident she was employed for years by Shoresh tours which is under the umbrella of Christ Church, an open missionary organization. Contrary to the false claims of Wilson's ignorant defenders, throughout the years, Shoresh Tours has consistently stated that all their tour guides are believers in Jesus. Of course they do, as an arm of Christ Church!
In a recent article for The Judean Hammer blog, I noted the following:
In a recent article for The Judean Hammer blog, I noted the following:
“If the
notorious street missionary and apostate Jew, Jakob Damkani (yemach shmo
vzichro) survived a murderous attack from knife wielding Arabs, would he have
the same religious supporters defending him today? Would his crude aggressive
style and overt missionizing earn him Jewish enemies or would he garner their
sympathy if he survived? After all, how does one differentiate between acts of
Arab terror? Is it the victim's demeanor? Style? Hobbies and interests? Perhaps
one's accent and country of origin are factors when considering which victim is
more charming or sympathetic? Does it help when one denies one's past, despite
the evidence? Could Damkani theoretically become a spokesperson for "Stand
With Us" or speak on behalf of Israel at the UN? Food for thought, for
those rare individuals who think for themselves.”
A fair honest question, which deserves a candid answer. I do
not expect an honest answer from Kay Wilson or her army of deluded defenders. So, what are we to do seven years later.
Ignore it as the hasbara machine has, and allow a former messianic, and
possibly current, to act as an advocate for Israel? What kind of madmen have we
become? Before the advent of social media, such a person would never speak for
mainstream Jews without a very public expression of admitting one’s past and a genuine
teshuvah. The problem is that Wilson has never done this, and when the few Jews
who care question her, we get attacked. In any event, she needs to be vetted,
and if she comes out as a genuine penitent, no one would be more welcome in my
home.
But the process
must occur and it hasn’t. And even if she answers the most glaring problem, there
are still questions. Why does Wilson retain a friendship with David
Pillegi of the notorious missionary organization, Christ Church? Normal Jews
would avoid such an odious person like the plague. Let the vetting
begin. And to those who prefer the limp-wristed diplomatic approach with
dishonest people, proceed as you will by yourself. Don’t expect us to goosestep
in line. At “The Judean Hammer”, we do things differently.
We have not yet begun to fight.
Concluding Remarks-"Hasbara" Personified:
We have not yet begun to fight.
Concluding Remarks-"Hasbara" Personified:
Until Jews start to advocate for Israel from a dignified Torah position, and stop elevating flawed Jews and gentiles who distort Judaism and Torah values, we will continue to regress as a nation. And contrary to popular thought, our standing will erode as well. One fights lies with unbridled truth, not by recruiting faux-Indians and faux-ideologies, or people with messianic pasts who lack the integrity to admit their mistakes. Let the hasbara queens yammer to themselves in their echo chambers. They can shop in the shuk and eat shwarma, as they are wont to do. "Zionist things" to do. Sensible Jews should avoid such unscrupulous tokens like a virus.
