Israeli anti-racism activists have called for an investigation after a Lehava organization leader, Bentzi Gopstein, urged a ban on Christmas celebrations in the country and called Christians "vampires," AFP reports.
"Christmas has no place in the Holy Land," Gopstein wrote on Kooker. He spoke of the "fall of the line of defense of the Jewish people for hundreds of years against our enemies, the Catholic Church."
"The mission of those vampires and bloodsuckers remains. If Jews cannot be killed, they can be converted," he wrote. "We must remove the vampires before they drink our blood once again."
