Left-Wing Shaun King: Tear Down ‘White Supremacy’ Statues of Jesus. 'All murals and stained glass windows of white Jesus...should also come down.' Christian celebrations of Christmas and Easter are “tools of white supremacy.”
The elimination of Christ, Christians, and Christianity is the real goal.
I suspect Shaun King is a cryptoJew or just a mouthpiece for Jews
know thine enemy...

(RNS) — Judaism has a blessing for pretty much every possible moment. But none as timely, and prescient, as this one, below, discussed in the Babylonian Talmud and codified in medieval Jewish codes of law and practice.
"Blessed are You, God, Master of the world, who has uprooted idolatry from this place. And just as you have uprooted it from this place, so too may you uproot it from all places; and turn the hearts of those who serve them, to serve You."
The prohibition against idolatry is so fundamental to Judaism that when idols are destroyed, and one stands in that physical space, the only appropriate response is: Praise God....
...Many of us are hoping to be inundated with more opportunities to recite this benediction, and soon....
This isn't only about monuments. Recently a clothing company, KA Design, tried to "recapture the swastika," the symbol associated with the brutal murder of 6 million Jews in World War II, by dressing it up with some rainbows and messages of peace. Even if the intention of reclaiming the symbol comes from a place of goodwill, it is beyond naive. It is actually obtuse. That symbol, in public, outside of a museum, flattens hearts and opens deep wounds. Except for people who hate us. For them, it is a rowdy call to violence and revisionist history.
But idolatry is counter to any religious idea worth its weight in salt. We Jews have a name for the tearing down of images that amplify and idolize racist hatred, anti-Semitism or bigotry of any kind; the tearing down, literally and figuratively, of the symbols of degradation and oppression, especially when those ideas are still so pervasive. We call it: Judaism.
The thing about monotheism, perhaps our greatest gift to the world, is that it is built upon oneness, unity, each of us emanating from the same divine stuff while fully able to maintain distinctions. To experience and know that potent connectivity is simply elegant. But to know it is to realize that thick walls of hatred must collapse, with its graven images discarded or relegated to the halls where history is taught, not continually perpetrated.

Secondly I'd like to point out that the Israelites had a bit of a history of idolatry.
Right after Moses led them out of Egypt they set up the golden calf to worship, and if Moses hadn't interceded, God would have wiped them all out right then.
Thirdly, I believe God is doing a work on His Christian people in America. He may very well be cleaning what He considers idols out of this land [and I believe He is], even if he has to use His enemies to do it.

Judgment on Assyria [symbolic of all God's enemies, the rod of His anger...and did you know the King of Assyria had a signet ring that bore the six-pointed star, just like a six-pointed star appears over the eagle on the US Great Seal?]
Isaiah 10:11and as I have done to Samaria and its idols, will I not also do to Jerusalem and her idols?” 12So when the Lord has completed all His work against Mount Zion and Jerusalem, He will say, “I will punish the king of Assyria for the fruit of his arrogant heart and the proud look in his eyes.” 13For he says: ‘By the strength of my hand I have done this, and by my wisdom, for I am clever. I have removed the boundaries of nations and plundered their treasures; like a mighty one I subdued their rulers.…

Removing idols is one thing. Burning, looting, raping, murdering is something entirely different.
For what it's worth...started to say this more than once these past few days, but did not intend for it to start out like this.
