Praise the Lord for the neighbors, and the other residents who joined with them to protest against the religious oppressors!  This is what we need to see more of in Israel if there is going to be a breakthrough in the ranks of those in control:  local, Hebrew-speaking, ordinary Israelis — and those not so ordinary — standing up and speaking out against the baseless taunts and accusations of the opposers of the believers, who represent that which is good and right in the truth of our Lord and Messiah.
