A group of Jewish tourists were filmed dismantling a landmark cross on a Welsh hillside and using the stones to create a giant Star of David in its place.

The 60ft long cross made from loose stones is believed to have been in place for at least 50 years on the hill below the Great Orme summit in Llandudno, north Wales, a popular tourist spot that is widely known in the local area.

    I’m an atheist, so I don’t feel particularly attacked because these assholes dismantled a cross, but can you imagine if the situation was the opposite? The amount of nazionists calling antisemitism?

      I dont care what religion it is; when you’re religious, part of you will be behaving like a dick. I’m an atheist, I wouldn’t do that because basic respect comes natural to human beings. It’s religion that removes respect for those that you don’t agree with.

      Having said that, fuck all of these assholes and seriously, you can’t come whining anymore about your antisemitism in the world when you’re the one instigating it continuously. Not that this cross thing is the worst that’s done cough Palestine genocide coughbut it is just another highly visible “we’re Jewish and we’re giving everyone the middle finger!” thing.

      If you want antisemitism to stop, then STOP BEHAVING LIKE A BAG OF DICKS

    Standard Daily Fascist shite

    The comments on the article are as you’d expect…

    There’s loads of stones and other names etc on that hill, of course people are going to borrow stones off other pieces to make their own one

      They didn’t just borrow stones, they completely removed it. The cross had apparently been there for decades and was considered a landmark. Plus, there were plenty of other stones they could have used. Completely dismantling the cross was a decision.

      That said, fuck Christianity.
