Moment Jewish holidaymakers dismantle hillside Christian cross and use stones to create giant Star of David instead

>Footage emerged appearing to show a group of young people, some apparently wearing **traditional kippah headcaps**, removing stones from a long-standing Christian symbol

Er, aren’t they wearing baseball caps? Don’t want to doubt the story, but is this like the rowers in Great Yarmouth identified as “Channel crossing illegals” or the Boy Scouts identified as “Asylum seekers”…?

(Edit: I’m getting marginally more upvotes than downvotes, so I appreciate the common sense of others. But I’ve also noticed that the Daily Mail has tagged the article with “Israel”. I’d love to know how they know that *Jewish tourists in baseball caps* have come to Wales from Israel and not another part of the UK…)

Could you imagine if it had been some people using the stones to create the crescent moon?

Who cares. Make it a tradition. People can come along and rearrange the stones into whatever religious symbol that represents them. Maybe a Christian can come along later and turn it back into a cross.

It’s some stones.

Edit: alright, if they knew it was a landmark then I accept that it’s different. I was going in with the assumption that they just saw it as a bunch of stones in a shape and changed it thinking it was ok. If it was malicious, I’m obviously wrong.

This deserves as much recognition. I’m very anti religious, to all religions but this is just not on.

So this place is known as The Hill of Names and people go there and rearrange the stones and make images and write out messages and names all the time. That is normal behaviour for that location. If you look at photographs of the place it isn’t like prehistoric art, it’s more like a mess! It’s r/place IRL with rocks instead of pixel art.

I dont see how anyone would have any expectation of permanence there. Some people made a Star of David and they borrowed some rocks from a cross that had been there for a while. OK? So what? Then some other people came along and took down a Star of David to rebuild the cross.

Like I said. R/place IRL. Some dismantle some rebuild. Some want message a, some want message b. Flags fight flags. Religious symbols compete for space. Fun for everyone!

I think the people complaining about a natural consequence of people expressing themselves this way should be derided. They are just playing! Same as everyone else. No rock pile has any more right to exist than any other on that hillside.

It’s funny how, when Jews are involved, everyone suddenly becomes rational and considerate.

When it’s Muslims, however, the total opposite happens.

This unbelievably fucked, I’m saying this as a Jew.

These guys need to be found and punished, it shouldn’t be acceptable for any religious group to dismantle the other’s symbol and replace it with their own.

It makes it sound like they replaced the cross, until the wide image below showing dozens of things on the hillside

Bit disrespectful, especially when what happened to “Big J”? /s

Is this what gangs do to identify a new mark that they can come and “Settle ” on the land?

From what I gather from a local facebook group on the subject the big cross was originally built to commemorate the victims of the aberfan disaster which is why it was never really touched. Making desecrating it like this extra heinous.
