The Defense Ministry is attempting to reach an agreement with the family of St.-Sgt. David Bogdanovsky, who fell in battle in the south of the Gaza Strip in December, to remove a cross from his headstone.

“By law, it is not permissible to place a cross or any other religious marker on a military headstone,” the Ministry said.

“This is especially important in the Haifa military cemetery, where fallen Jewish soldiers are also buried,” the Ministry added, citing a ruling by the IDF Chief Rabbi that states the holiness of the Jewish cemetery is harmed by the cross.

The Ministry said it is working with the public committee for soldier memorial to reach an agreement with the family, “in light of requests by families whose loved ones are buried nearby who claim that the cross hurts their feelings [/b]and their ability to pray and say [the] Kadish [mourning prayer], and in light of the ruling of the IDF chief Rabbi.”

“The Defense Ministry mourns with the family of fallen soldier David Bogdanovsky z”l and will continue to accompany the family and all bereaved families.”

The family said that other graves in the cemetery have religious markers on them, N12 reported. Bogdanovsky, a Christian resident of Haifa, made Aliyah in 2014 from Ukraine, according to Kan. He served in the Combat Engineering Corps.

Earlier this month, Bogdanovsky’s mother visited his grave and found that his headstone had been covered in black cloth while a ceremony was taking place for those killed on October 7, Ynet reported.

“I don’t have words to describe the humiliation I felt,” she told Ynet.

“I thought that my David, who gave his life to the country, who loved the country with all his heart for nine years, since his aliyah, who ed the IDF to defend me, his family, and all of us, is no different than any of the other guys, [and] is not a second-class citizen. I stood there and cried with anger, frustration, and not understanding,” she said.

Maybe the soldier converted to Judaism before ing IDF. If so, his family should respect his religious stance and allow him to be buried as a Jew. Why are Jews so intolerant of Christians though? sad

The chief Rabbi said that Mary was Prostitute and called Christians dogs.
You are not even allowed to broadcast Christian view s on Israeli TV. They even banned US Christian TV stations.

Any random European/ American jewish convert has more right to the middle eastern nation over the ones who have been there for centuries, makes total sense.

Why are Jews so intolerant of Christians though
Let them continue to lick zionazi, na them sabi. They'll never be anything but a bloody idol worshipping goy who'll burn in the deepest depths of hell, according to the talmud.

Irrelevant argument.

All i know is, when someone dies, they ain't going to ask him on the other side...did they bury you with cross, or whatever.

This is a common issue with non-Jews and non-Europeans fighting in Israel. The last time, a black guy died in Israel, Israel refused to grant him citizenship (despite his death) or even give him a state burial. The lack of a citizenship meant his family will never get the benefits he would have gotten, just because he is black.

This one now is being denied having a Christian cross on his grave because he is a Christian and not a Jew. This is an eye-opener for Christians who mistake Christinaity with Judaism.

Christianity is different from Judaism. They are different religions. Israel also hates Christians. Christians are openly attacked on the streets in Israel.

Only about 2% Israelis identify as Christians.
Infact there was an attempt to outlaw Christianity a few years ago until they considered the huge earnings from pilgrimage.

But na Nigerian Christians carry Israel matter for head grin grin grin Ignorance is bliss.

If it were to be muslims, they would have even slaughtered the family of the Christian soldier and shouted allahu akbar.

Jews are quite tolerant. They can even permit other religions, Christians and Muslims in their army while Muslim countries don't permit any church.



God bless the IDF
God bless the Mossad
God bless Israel
God bless all the Jews

May the cult called islam, the cancer of the modern society, go into oblivion, just as it started. Amin

Christians don't understand that fhe Jews hate them more than they hate the muslims. A Jew would rather pray in a mosque than a church. They call yall idolaters. They agreed they worship the same demon with the muslims but think christians worship 3 demons which is polytheism and idolaterous. Bunch of idiots yall the 3 abrahamic cults that has utterly destroyed this world
