Israeli medic fired after being caught on camera spitting on Jesus portraits

Coronavirus: Israeli medic fired for spitting on Jesus portraits
Published 22 minutes ago

An Israeli ambulance worker caught on camera spitting on portraits of Jesus while visiting a Christian home to carry out a Covid test has been fired.

The medic was seen removing protective clothing before spitting on three pictures in the communal hallway of the block of flats in Jaffa in Tel Aviv.

When confronted, the medic claimed the imagery was a form of idolatry forbidden by the Hebrew Bible.

Israel's ambulance service said it "strongly condemned" his actions.

The Magen David Adom (MDA) employee, it said, was "unworthy of representing the organisation" and was dismissed immediately.

The incident happened on Sunday when the medic went to the block - whose residents are all Christian, according to media reports.

Security camera footage shows the worker removing his mask and overalls before turning around and spitting three times in succession.

He is then seen putting his mask back on and getting into a lift.

As he was leaving the building, the medic was confronted by a tenant who filmed their exchange on a mobile phone.

When the tenant asked why he spat at the pictures, the worker replied: "In Judaism this is foreign worship."

The video shows the tenant remonstrating with the medic, telling him: "You spat on my pictures, which we believe in, in front of my eyes on the camera. Why did you do that?"

The medic replies: "In our Torah it is written that as much foreign worship as possible should be kept away as much as possible," before complaining to the tenant that he was not wearing a mask.

The incident was reported to MDA, which questioned the medic and fired him.

In a tweet, the ambulance service said it "strongly condemned" what happened, adding that it works with, and employs, members of all religions and sections of society.

Israel has experienced one of the highest rates of coronavirus infections in the world and is gradually emerging from a second national lockdown.

Any portrait or image depicting Jesus is an idol, there was no camera in the time of Jesus. I strongly condemn the action of the medic. There are places and religion where actions like this will lead to loss of many lives and destruction of properties. Christianity preaches and practises love, forgiveness and sacrifice and requires u to turn the other cheek if an enemy slaps u in one cheek

Lol

People actually spat on Jesus when he was on earth and he still prayed for them...

This medic simply needed prayers and that should have been all

It is the bad eggs among our Muslim brothers that carry religion in their big turbans like this


For any fool that will quote me wrongly,read well before starting

Israelis are known not to believe in Jesus so what the fuss

He was fired becos he not only removed his protective clothing which he was supposed to b wearing as protection, he also desecrated the portraits of a Christian home.. He was jus plain stupid.. Wetin concern U concern whether the ppl dey worship the photo or not? Ur job was to go there and take samples and leave not question what religion dey practiced..

I was going to type something similar...

Religious extremism is in every nook and cranny of our society.

And most idǐotic pigs in Nigeria still worship them especially the OSU pigs.

I just laugh at their ignorance...
Population Christians in Israel is not even up to 5%. A very marginalized minority group.

Humans are weird animals.
