The dramatic assassination attempt on Mexico City’s police chief was just the latest and clearest sign that Mexico’s powerful criminal element is bringing the violence it has unleashed on the general population directly to President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s door. More than 35,000 Mexicans were murdered last year, the highest number on record and a grave threat to the president’s ambitious agenda. Police Chief Omar García Harfuch was nearly added to this year’s murder total Friday when more than two-dozen gunmen executed a carefully coordinated plan to intercept his armored vehicle at dawn with grenades, assault rifles and a .50 caliber sniper rifle on the capital’s grand boulevard.

by Rabbi Bentzion Kravitz We met at a café in Jerusalem, and I was shocked when this Israeli told me he believes in Christianity. He then tried to convince me to convert. My new acquaintance prefers to call himself a messianic Jew along with 30,000 other Israelis who have converted to Christianity. Most come from a secular background; however, some disillusioned orthodox Jews have also gravitated to this “Messianic Jewish” movement which takes Christianity and deceptively camouflages it with Jewish rituals and customs.  Now, missionaries are infiltrating the homes of hundreds of thousands of Israelis with a new Hebrew cable channel with programs targeting Jews for conversion. They also stuff missionary propaganda into mailboxes in secular and religious neighborhoods.
