The Israeli soldiers who damaged a figure of Jesus Christ in southern Lebanon and photographed the incident will be removed from combat duty and sentenced to 30 days of military detention, according to the Israeli military.

See? This is the difference between Jews and Muslims.

When a Jew damages a Christian religious statute, he is subjected to punishment.

When a Muslim cuts off a Jewish baby’s head or burns a Jewish toddler alive, he is celebrated and cheered.

Compared to who? Jewish history wouldn't leave Jews looking like the helpless innocent lambs you think it would. A lot of ethnic groups have been treated a lot worse, as in totally exterminated, around the world over the millennia, so don't get carried away. Much of the OT and NT themselves are about Jews Behaving Badly. Other sects have done far worse than the Evil Xians have throughout history, even the allegedly 'pacifist' Buddhists. The differences are Jewish sects have strong tendencies for self-examination and reforms.

Having said that, it is indeed a dangerous time for Jews, no doubts about it, and we see that in many places, not just in the US. An unarmed Jew is a fool these days, and I could say the same for Christian sects as well. They are part and parcel the same thing from the same sources, whether or not some in either group like it.

As for the Christian sects in Lebanon, they were never allies with the Israelis, and have been pretty much indistinguishable form other Arab cretins, so there is that. They will reap what they sow same as the rest of the world will.

Your “ rational “ and excuses have nothing to do with the way Jews were treated for the last almost 2000 years

Says who? Certainly not a lot of Jewish historians. They did a lot of their own victimizing over the centuries, so they aren't blameless. I have no 'excuses', just historical records and facts. I don't much care if they make anybody happy or not. They have little to do with modern ME history, in any case. Same goes for all the sniveling re Christians so popular with leftists and right wingers.

By whom?

Doesn't Judaism teach to respect other religions?

Certainly the case with the Nov. 7 murders and rapes. All kinds of apologists popped out of their sewers with the very first Israeli defense actions.

Keep telling yourself that . Keep telling yourself the Jews did a lot of victimizing over the centuriesI It probably makes you feel a lot better

Yup. Remember those two children - one a toddler and one an infant - the HAMAS savages kidnapped? They tortured them to death with their own hands, and then the “innocent” Palestinians took their own children to the “celebration” while they cheered around the little Jewish coffins.

Say no more. That certainly justifies this.

That's a lot of hate right there. Apples don't fall far from the trees.

lol don't need to, Jewish historians are very good at studying history, and they don't give two shits about covering up facts just to suit propaganda narratives. If that bothers you stick to watching childrens' TV. They did their fair share, same as most other people. Like I said, the differences are they are capable of self-examination and reforms, and had their own 'Enlightenment' at the end of the 18th century and left most of the racism and self-isolation behind, with the exceptions of some of the Orthodox and ultraorthodox sects. The latter are a distinct minority these days.

History​

​

Main articles: 1948 Arab–Israeli War and 1948 Palestinian expulsion and flight
In 1948, the Lebanese army had by far the smallest regional army, consisting of only 3,500 soldiers. At the prompting of Arab leaders in the region, Lebanon agreed to join the other armies that were being assembled around the perimeter of the British Mandate territory of Palestine for the purpose of invading Palestine Lebanon committed 1,000 of these soldiers to the cause. The Arab armies waited for the end of the Mandate and the withdrawal of British forces, which was set for 15 May 1948.

Israel declared its independence on 14 May 1948. The next day, the British Mandate officially expired and, in an official cablegram, the seven-member Arab League, including Lebanon, publicly proclaimed their aim of creating a democratic "United State of Palestine" in place of the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine. The League soon entered the conflict on the side of the Palestinian Arabs, thus beginning the international phase of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Transjordan, and Iraq declared war on the new state of Israel. They expected an easy and quick victory in what came to be called the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. The Lebanese army joined the other Arab armies in the invasion. It crossed into the northern Galilee. By the end of the conflict, however, it had been repulsed by Israeli forces, which occupied South Lebanon. Israel signed armistice agreements with each of its invading neighbors. The armistice with Lebanon was signed on 23 March 1949 As part of the agreement with Lebanon, Israeli forces withdrew to the international border.

Lebanese Christians joined the other Arabs in invading Israel and continued to support terrrorist gangs operating out of Lebanon ever since. so, yeah, some Israelis might be less than fond of them.

Nah, she just didn't kiss your ass, is all.

Israelis don't owe Lebanese Christian militias anything; they are part and parcel of the usual Arab criminality and gangsterism. When the French pulled out they reverted to the usual atavism and clan cultism most Arabs revert back to.

So Christians instead of Lebanese? Ok, using that as the standard, Israel doesn't seem to have any reservations letting American Christians fight their war for them against Iran.

I would say you are trying to make a two wrongs makes a right argument but I don't know why Lebanese Christians joined the "other Arabs" other than they were Arabs.

Sort of like Jews defending "other Jews" who smashed religious statues for no other reason than they were Jews.

I think it great when people become what they hate. Who doesn't love the predictable surprises of normalization of deviance.

Oh, they threw two of em in the hole?

I was under the impression that there was only one guilty party.

Well, aside from six additional soldiers in your report who apparently witnessed the incident but did nothing to stop it.

Thanks for the update!

You know Israel, I'm trying to make a case to LA RAM FAN, EMH, buttercup, gipper, and SaxonJackson why you don't have horrible people running your government. This isn't helping my argument.

I haven’t heard ANY Jew defend anyone who smashes religious statues.

Still, it pales in comparison to the Nigerian Muslims MURDERING Christians, or Gazan Muslims decapitating Jewish babies. It’s quite telling that there is more - or even equal - outrage over an act of vandalism by Jews than mass murder by Muslims.

My brother is a MAGA but he sees Israeli's are horrible people too. He see's it. He can articulate it better than I can but he knows Israel is shady and Jewish people are purposely annoying. Argumentative. Stubborn. Quick to call someone else anti semetic but they are the biggest hypocrites when it comes to this.

Anyways, long story short. He says even still, over in the Middle East, Israel is all we got. They are our friends. Not the arabs.
