IDF soldiers from Division 91 sparked international backlash after filming themselves staging a mock Christian wedding ceremony inside a Maronite church in the Lebanese village of Deir Mimas. The footage, which the soldiers shared on social media, shows them performing a mock wedding between two soldiers, who later wrestle on the church floor while others laugh.

“What if this happened in a synagogue? They’d be screaming ‘antisemitism,’” said Wadie Abu Nassar, coordinator of the Holy Land Christian Forum.

The Vatican has reportedly condemned the incident as “outrageous” and sought verification of the video’s authenticity.

    Vatican: It’s not the murder of children and innocents that’s got us upset, (we’re actually totes okay with abusing kids) it’s that you mocked our dumbshit easily mockable religion.

      This is the equivalent of an extremely mild office prank to me, why is this even newsworthy?

        Because it shows that Israels supremacy does not just go against Muslims. Christians are also considered inferiors and will be mocked, assaulted and if opportune killed.
