It was the first such reported incident since October, when police said they had marked a significant rise in attacks on Christians in Jerusalem, with 17 incidents reported in the six months prior.

      They blindly support Israel because they think Israel’s existence is necessary to trigger the End Times; they don’t give a shit about what actually happens there.

        Evangelical Christians in the US who blindly support Israel

        Hopefully they’re smart enough

        This is not an individual event. People get beaten and harassed trying to get to Easter service, they refuse checkpoint crossing so people can’t make holy day services, shot people at churches, bombed churches. I mean this is a state based on a single religious superiority, you don’t think they harass and discriminate other religions? Christians don’t have the same rights as other groups, it is a known thing.

      They actively don’t care unless it impacts their pilgrimage directly.

      They want Jesus to come back, and they think one part of that is that Jews control the holy land.

      They are actively harming the world because they truly believe that 1) humans cannot destroy God’s creation, so 2) if we get close he’ll have to step in and end the world and take them to the heaven that they refused to build here.

        Usually they think only Muslims lived in Palestine which is why they don’t care.

        Even the Pope didn’t care until Christians started getting shot in Gaza

    These guys got punished, not for what they did, but for allowing it to be filmed. They’ll get a slap on the wrist and told to do their hate crime more carefully.
