Weren't they even vaguely concerned when they saw that IDF soldier smashing the crucifix with a sledgehammer?

What a bunch of stupid fucks.

Why would it bother them? They worship money, not Jesus.

Or the convent, or the churches. These people don't give a shit about the religion they use as a shield.

I would never describe them as Christ-like.

A certain segment of the Christian Zionist movement believes that Jews need to return to Israel so they can all be annihilated by the Anti-Christ at the End Of Days.

So IDF soldiers smashing crucifixes doesn't really bother them, because they're all just congregating under the big bullseye that God plans to bomb into dust any day now.

Christian Zionists are far more obsessed with the breeding of the Perfect Red Heifer to be sacrificed at the consecration of the Third Temple.

Seriously, this shit is wackadoodles.

A Texas businessman believes he was divinely chosen to help usher in the Second Coming of Christ—by finding unblemished red heifers and getting them to Israel.
