Apparently destroying a statue is more serious than destroying a human people person. Or thousands of them.

Something something from dehumanization to arms production.. peace or annihilation. It's apparently your choice. Not that I believe in free will/choice. But you'll rationalize it so.

“I condemn the act in the strongest terms,” he added, before predicting “appropriately harsh disciplinary action” against the perpetrator.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar also condemned the damage to the statue and apologized to “every Christian whose feelings were hurt.”

WTAF kind of apology is this?

Does Israel not know Jesus was Jewish?

[-] jasoman@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

They don't care as long as it was in the way of Greater Isreal.

They're following the temple which denied and opposed Jesus. They're pretty much enemies of Christians traditionally.

Christians murdered how many?

It's like they think the ten commandments are loose/optional suggestions instead of ironclad commandments.

So Iran should start erecting Jesus statues everywhere. Lol Start that nuke program back up and make the bombs Jesus shaped.

GOP and Establishment Dem outrage over Israel's actions include:

~~Genocide of Muslims~~

~~Genocide of non-white Christians~~

~~Illegal wars of aggression~~

~~Illegal expansion and annexation~~

~~Mass rape of civilians and prisoners~~

~~Mass murder of children~~

~~Being a rogue nation with nukes~~

Damaging a statue of their favorite sky pixie.

I honestly don't see what the big deal is. Surely it will rise again.

Muslims believe Jesus was a prophet. They often have more in common with Christians. Sounds like Palestinians just need inflatable Jesus dolls to have Netanyahu condemn things.
