Americans, bombing schools and hospitals doesn't do very much.
But don't touch their backward religious views

A while back a friend of mine told me that Trump had "crossed a line" with his blasphemous Jesus image, and I quietly privately gritted my teeth. Seriously, that's a line? He was never a Trump supporter to begin with but this was worse than all the child rape and the ruination he's bringing to the world?

Same thing here. If US conservatives decide to turn on the Israelis over this, sure, I'll be happy they turned on them. But that this is the thing that does it, and not all the genocide and apartheid and whatnot, that doesn't exactly put them in my good books.

Stop gritting your teeth and do something useful with them like biting their throat out

Is that what you do to conservatives?

I certainly don't keep quiet out of cowardice.

But you bite their throats out? Like, on sight?

Sure, why not, it's a completely literal world we live in.

The best anti-Zionist propaganda is the IDF's actions.

Interested to see how the christian zionists will applaud this.

this would never get through a bubble so thick

I feel like if you showed one, youd get an explanation of how its good actually.

That's some biblical shit

Destroy all their carved images and their cast idols, and demolish all their high places.

Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones, cut down their Asherah poles and burn their idols in the fire.

So they DID kill him!

Mel Gibson 😏

Edit: This is a joke Mel Gibson is a piece of shit

The IDF already responsible for such awful shit. Do they really have to give Mel Gibson ammo for his "Jews killed Jesus" too.

Oh my god (no pun intended)! How tremendously tragic! How could he do such a vile thing...

If god knew what people do to his merchandise, he'd be thoroughly pissed.

Stop reincarnating Judas, there are no Romans left to blame for this. /s

Wtf, I support Israel now!
