Christians will always be christians
Christians are the converts
Let's see if I can get this right. They are born Jewish, keep the Jewish traditions and holy days, read the Jewish scriptures (including the ones written by first century Jews), and believe in a Jewish Messiah who was prophesied about in Jewish scriptures. So what's the problem?
Most Christians who understand prophesy clearly know that the Gentiles were the ones who were "grafted in" to the chosen people of God through their faith, not through their lineage(and by "chosen" God meant that He chose to reveal himself through the Jewish people, not that he loves others less). WE Christians are the converts, not vice versa. We are Gentiles who believe in a Jewish Messiah. The Beresfords do a good job of presenting the dilemma faced by Messianic Jews: that both sides will find reasons to reject them. My heart goes out to them.
Brings truth to light
It is amazing the treatment that the Beresfords got while attempting to immigrate to Isreal. How the Jewish could be so cold and willing to cannibalize their own simply for embracing Jesus(Y'shua) as the Messiah is simply astounding. Especially when you consider all the turmoil that the Jews as a people have gone through over the centuries. It is quite amazing that they consider it better if a Jew doesn't believe God exists at all rather than if he believes that Jesus died for the sins of the world. (I know of Jews who have MUCH more crazy beliefs and they aren't considered non-Jewish because of it).
This is a great book and will open your eyes to facts about Isreal that you wouldn't believe.

Hunt for a Man Killer (Outdoor Life Classical stories)
I am a fan of the outdoors and nature literature. I bought this audio book hoping it would make for interesting listening during my commute.This tape comprises some very cheesy stories that mostly revolve around stupid men shooting things (with lame sound-effects to boot). One particularly assinine adventure involves a man who is a "photographer" awed by a majestic moose. He brilliantly decides me MUST have a close up photo of the animal, no matter the cost (including the cost of the mooses' life!)The jackass sneaks up on the moose, and the moose charges at him, and then he shoots it to death.
"Ah, yes.. that was quite and adventure, and I got the most spectacular picture as the moose charged. Thankfully, I had a second to grab my rifle." the narrator reads in wise, gravely sounding voice, oblivious to the fact that he just DESTROYED the animal that captivated him. But it'll live on forever in a photo! Ya right.
Avoid this tape if you value intelligent nature stories. If corny sounds and hunting are a passion, then go for it.

Christians and Messianics as you call yoursevles- we do not hate the christians as one reader suggests-quite the contrary- as we are commanded to love. Rather we do hate any false religion that would raise itself up that contradicts the Law that Hashem gave us through Moshe. We must hate idolotry, though we love mankind and let them live the way that each one believes. The problem arose for the Beresfords when they tried to bring a "foreign" doctrine into a land that only allows those that embrace their Jewishness and have not given up their very existance to follow the doctrines of another god.
Is it any wonder that the Beresfords were kicked out of a Jewish country when they were promoting their christian doctrine? Please...be real about this.
Read the book, but keep in mind who the Jews are, what we believe and why the Berefords were asked to leave a county that tries not to contaminate itself with the ideas of false gods.
May Israel continue to be strong against those that oppose the law of Moshe.
