    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.

    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?

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