Israel Thought It Could Survive This Sick Stunt; One Image Said Otherwise

Israel did not just get caught smashing Christ in Lebanon, it got caught smashing its own lie that it stands as a friend and protector of Christians. Right, so Lebanon and the Israeli atrocities being committed there have been somewhat encapsulated this week by images of an Israeli soldier, who has been photographed smashing up a statue of Jesus on the cross in the southern Lebanese village of Debel and this runs somewhat counter to what Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly said of Israel’s relations with members of the Christian faith, he claims to be a protector of Christians even. Well go on then Bibi, sell us your snake oil. Not oppressed in Lebanon though apparently, nor even closer to home either. His words might account for the fact that somewhat unusally, the IDF have readily confessed to it too. They’ve put out a tweet saying: ‘Following the completion of an initial examination regarding a photograph published earlier today of an IDF soldier harming a Christian symbol, it was determined that the photograph depicts an IDF soldier operating in southern Lebanon. The IDF views the incident with great severity and emphasizes that the soldier’s conduct is wholly inconsistent with the values expected of its troops. The incident is being investigated by the Northern Command and is currently being addressed through the chain of command. Appropriate measures will be taken against those involved in accordance with the findings.
