Anti-Christ much? |
Itamar Ben-Gvir said Ben-Ari, an Orthodox Jew, was enraged to receive the book, in whose name he says millions of Jews were slaughtered. Ben-Ari tore it up, he said, then posed for photographs with the destroyed Bible.
Hanna Sweid, the only Christian member of the Knesset said “This is hooliganism, bullying and an apocalyptic act of hatred that was baseless and unnecessary, This reflects the culture of a man who is dangerous to nations and religions of the world.”
In response to criticism he said “This abominable book, it galvanized the murder of millions of Jews during the Inquisition and during auto da fe instances, There is no doubt that this book and all it represents belongs in the garbage can of history.”
It is interesting that when an American pastor threatens to burn a Qur’an it makes international news and causes outrage but when an member of Israel’s Government records himself ripping up a bible and slandering it, it is not even mentioned by the BBC Webpage.
I know that the way in which we see the bible differs to Islam’s view of the Qur’an but surely it shows a double standard when a politician can do this.

According to the Jewish state website NRG, he not only tore the Good Book apart but also threw it into the trash.
