Netanyahu Vows Harsh Action Against Soldier Vandalising Jesus Statue In Lebanon by God1000(op): 8:45pm On Apr 20

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed “harsh action” on Monday against a soldier caught on camera vandalising a statue of Jesus Christ in southern Lebanon.

The photo, which the military determined was authentic after it spread online, shows an Israeli soldier using a sledgehammer to strike the head of a statue of a crucified Jesus that had fallen off a cross.

The damage is already done, no amount of apology or punishment to that soldier will erase this from our hearts and minds

He didn't break the statue only, he shows the intentions of Jews towards Jesus

He could have removed the statue with love and respect.

Maybe the statue attacked the IDF soldier first, he acted in self defense

Satanyahu is busy talking about christian persecution in Syria and Lebanon in an attempt to divert the attention from this issue, his soldiers have done far worse to christians in Gaza, Syria, Lebanon and Iran

This shows that Israel doesn't care whether you are christian or Muslim but some religious fanatics in Nigeria have refused to listen to us

Hearts of who? Islamic terrorists or what?

Jesus Christ is in heaven. He is not bothered about an idol. Neither would he encourage Christians to act like Muslims who support killing because of blasphemy.

Bro relax you are not a Christian, symbols or statues mean nothing to Christianity. We are not like the others that would go to war if their books are desecrated. Jesus doesn't need me to defend him

So why are some Christians using it to worship like the Catholics when it is clearly idolatry from the Bible?

IDF are terrorists so forget this fake statement.
They have been spitting and beaten up Christians for a long time. Now the world is catching up to them.
Even very young isreali kids are seen spitting and attacking Christians, so this nothing new.
Just trying to safe face simply because America Christians are now using these videos as evidence of why the US should stop funding the zionist terrorist criminals.

Chill. That soldier acted alone, not on behalf of the Israeli state. There is no known injunction in modern Judaism that commands the faithful to tear down churches.
