As a Jew we don’t think the cross is oppressive we just don’t care
walkaway
If that yellow journalist actually thinks that, then I have to assume he’s never laid eyes on a bible,let alone read one. Or spoken to a Jewish person. Ever.
walkaway
Giles looks like a self inebriated tosser
walkaway
Jew here. Not me or any Jew I know feels oppressed by a cross. Such clownery
walkaway
It was a symbol of oppression, during the Roman Empire.
walkaway
Oh they’re opening that pandoras box now… cool
walkaway
I’m Jewish and this is not true.
walkaway
Well, no crap the government used it to kill Jesus.
walkaway
I’m guessing he’s a liberal
walkaway
This is ridiculous. If I were to say “the crescent moon ☪️ is a sign of sexual slavery, racism, hatred, oppression, gaslighting and lies” I would be called a Islamophobe and rightfully so no race or religion should be objectified based on the actions of others within the race or religion. I truly think the description I just gave is not true of Muslims. The American Muslims I know are wonderful people who have let me in their home, fed me, and been my friend. But I could easily claim those things based on what Muslims have done around the world by looking through a objective lenses. If you see the cross as a sign of oppression to bad.
walkaway
Calling BS
walkaway
The author looks about as expected
walkaway
Christians and Jews have tremendous potential for partnership and often do so.
walkaway
To divide them from good faith discussions and healing is subterfuge.
walkaway
Tough shit
walkaway
Jew here. No it's not.
walkaway
This guy just really needs to shut the fuck up. That's all.
walkaway
Um, they DO know that the cross represents how Jesus was *crucified, ri*ght?
walkaway
The Guardian is what happens you put a pack of danger hairs together for oppression Olympics.
walkaway
As a Jew this article pisses me off. And it couldn’t be more false either.
walkaway
Jew here. This is utter bullshit
walkaway
Also, this kind of divisive rhetoric just makes people hate Jews.. so thanks Guardian!
walkaway
Wut sort of sorcery is this?
walkaway
This guy is making me want to get a step-side F-150 so I can get one of those Jesus on the Cross wrappers on my rear window.
walkaway
Lol as someone who was raised Catholic, we see the Star of David as an ally. The Soros backed media is trying to start another Civil, Race, Holy war against each other. Wake up America.
walkaway
How to get a lot of views and engagement:
walkaway
Step 1: write an article that says something completely ludicrous that nobody actually believes
walkaway
Step 2: get people on the right and/or left to get pissy about your article and spread it everywhere
walkaway
Step 3: Profit
walkaway
Step 4: repeat
walkaway
It's a Roman cross. We affirm Christ was crucified by Pontius Pilate. Every sinner, including all Christians are the reason Christ had to die, he was sent to pay the cost of sin which is death, according to Christian doctrine it is no one groups fault but the entirety of fallen humanity, his own disciples included. This is a gross misrepresentation of our beliefs based on a tiny percentage of antisemitic heretics.
walkaway
Shut it down!
walkaway
Yes, that’s why Christians gravitate towards it. It was a tool of oppression used against the Lord (a Jew), and represents how he overcame death in the name of saving his creation from their own demise. It’s not a hard concept.
walkaway
Is this the Synagogue of Satan Revelations was warning us about?
walkaway
There’s no love in this world like Christian hate, and nothing worse than evangelicals
walkaway
That moment when the Cross was literally a tool of oppression that Christians argue that God redeemed the world to himself with.
walkaway
Trinity is the Truth!!!! Jew get mad!!!!!
walkaway
Do they not know that the Jews were the ones who had the Romans crucify him?
walkaway
Before they hate you, they hated Me.
walkaway
They’ll then turn on the Star of David next. They’ll say something about how it’s offensive to Satanists or something.
walkaway
Wolf in sheep’s clothing
walkaway
By beloved Church of England has destroyed itself with these people, they’re everywhere.
walkaway
Well that's the face of a priest that needs mental health help
walkaway
Nothing is worse than anybody who generalizes self-hate for their entire religion, gender, race, socioeconomic group, sexual orientation, etc..
walkaway
Everyone loves to feel like a victim
walkaway
The gaslighting is strong with this one. So the Jews killed Christ, but now they are oppressed by the symbol representing Christ's death.
walkaway
He told those poor Pharisees that they couldn't oppress the poor anymore :(
walkaway
Shhhh you’re oppressed stop resisting
walkaway
Another non liberal Jew? Impossible!
walkaway
White Liberals know what’s best for all of us
walkaway
They thrive on hate
walkaway
I'm a Christian. The first thing I think of when I see articles like this is to reverse the statement. "Jews must understand that for Christians the Star of David is a symbol of oppression." Both are equally ridiculous statements.
walkaway
Any thoughts on this comment?:
walkaway
I didn’t even need to check tbh
walkaway
Took the words out of my mouth
walkaway
You said it.
walkaway
Potentially you could argue it’s a threat of oppression in the hands of the Romans, and then it would mean something to North Africa, Western Asia, and all of Europe; the Jews were not special in this regard and Christian usage is if anything ironic. It’s supposed to mean the power of death and oppression was broken by using it on Jesus.
walkaway
Honestly that headline reads like a high schooler looking for a novel victimhood he can audition in front of his friends.
walkaway
Shhh that just means the christians culturally appropriated him.
walkaway
Drunk on huffing his own farts, maybe.
walkaway
You win the ancient history accuracy award.
walkaway
But the Vatican was a state power masquerading as Christianity
walkaway
Divide and conquer is the strategy of fascists.
walkaway
That is the goal of leftists.

Bang on. Great observation there.
walkaway
Bad diet with a penchant for sticking vibrating things up there, bound to be deadly, but hey, everyone loves their own brand
walkaway
The Roman emperors used Christianity for power, ie Emperor Constantine and the Nicene Creed.
walkaway
Fascists and communists, but really they’re the same evil, just marketed a bit differently.
walkaway
Pontius Pilot wanted nothing to do with it. When he gave the Jews the choice between freeing Jesus or Barabbass, a murderer, they chose to free Barabbass. So, although from a standpoint of who physically murdered Jesus, yes, that was the Romans. However, the Jews had every opportunity to do the tight thing, and chose otherwise.
walkaway
I understand the animosity toward Jews has partly been based on the historicity surrounding Christ's death, but denying facts won't make that go away. So you know, Christians are taught in the New Testament to bless the Jews.
walkaway
*Barabbas enters the chat*
walkaway
Why all the downvotes? I simply said the truth. My people didn’t kill Jesus, so go hate on the Italians if you want because it’s on them.
walkaway
It was both.
walkaway
There are thousands of us.

Three 🙋‍♀️

You’re a Badger ? I went to Berkeley. Golden 🐻 Bear.
walkaway
Exactly. It was used for political purposes

walkaway
I was totally hoping Cal was going to come to the big ten.
walkaway
Right, but was used politically before the Vatican even existed. Sorry I was probably being too literal.
walkaway
The state killed Jesus so it was not a religion made for political conquest. In fact, the cross represents state persecution and should be the ultimate symbol of freedom from man made oppression. That’s what we have when we yield to God instead of false idols. That includes any state or corporate power that seeks to replace God as authority over humanity
walkaway
The state did indeed kill Jesus and many others like Spartacus via crucifixion. The cross seemed to indicate torture if you rebelled against the state. The also cross seems to represent sacrifice not freedom, but that is my opinion. Yielding to God is subjective, but IMO spirit is eternal, it’ll never die, it was never born, it always was and always will be.

Quickly sink? How much lower can they go? The Titanic holds nothing on these massive failures.

Adams was elected because he’s a POC and ran as a democrat. He’s a racist dirty ex cop who doesn’t know his elbow from his asshole. Dinkins 2.0, but Dinkins was actually intelligent.
walkaway
Eric “Dinkins Jr” Adams and Kathy “pronouns” Hochul can’t even clean up their own living rooms. Please lol.
walkaway
This is exactly what NYC voted for, so their legacy is doing what their voters wanted and turned NYC into the city of sin it was before Trump helped to rebuild it the first time
walkaway
They fucked over every hard worker in Ny regardless of political affiliation. Remember that.
walkaway
They have nothing even close to a legacy. Love that their new idea is one that will attract more to the state not fewer.
