JERUSALEM (VINnews) — An IDF soldier who recited the Shema prayer before blowing up a mosque harboring terrorist activities caused a sharp reaction from IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari, who said that the incident “would be investigated.”

The soldier said that although we are not allowed to recite Shema in the mosque (after severe criticism was levelled at another soldier who recited prayers in a Jenin mosque a month ago), we can certainly recite the prayer when blowing up a mosque used for terrorism. Instead of counting down to the explosion, the soldier said the words of Shema and then detonated the device which blew up the mosque.

Hagari said that “the behavior of the soldier in the clip is unacceptable and in contravention of the IDF’s values. The IDF condemns such behavior and the matter will be investigated.”

The snowflake mentality of the leftists of this generation says that you can’t say mean things to anybody, you may just hurt their feelings. But it’s ludicrous for an army blowing up the enemy to not allow the soldiers to hurt the enemies feelings.

The Zionists cannot stand any invocation of G-d’s name, certainly not proclaiming Him to be our G-d and also the only god.

The soldier should have added: Take this Yishmakaleh, you Pereh Odoms and Am HaDoimeh L’Chamoir.
