Supermarket chain airbrushes Christian cross from Greek food to avoid offending ……

What are they afraid of militant Buddhists?

Lidl airbrushes Christian cross from church pictured on its Greek food range because the supermarket chain ‘does not wish to exclude any religious beliefs’

  • The supermarket chain has come under fire for altering its new ‘Eridanous’ range
  • Shoppers say the Anastasis Church had its cross removed from packaging
  • Customers have taken to social media to vent their frustration at Lidl

By Charlie Bayliss For Mailonline, 4 September 2017:

Story continues below advertisement

Lidl has defended its decision to airbrush Christian symbols from its packaging, claiming the supermarket wants to remain ‘religiously neutral’.

The chain’s new Greek ‘Eridanous’ range has pictures of the famous Anastasis Church in Santorini, Greece, with its world-renowned blue dome roof.

Yet some shoppers noticed that the packaging comes without the Christian crosses normally at the top of the dome and nearby buildings.

Lidl UK’s Facebook page has been swamped with messages decrying their move to alter the pictures.

Daniel Novak wrote: ‘I’m highly disappointed in a company that is bending over to cater to specific people. Why are you hiding from the history?

Eagle-eyed shoppers noticed the cross on top of the famous Anastasis Church in Santorini, Greece had been removed

‘We are all to learn from history, removing it with photoshop will cause the same mistakes of the past to be done over and over again.’

Steve West added: ‘Why have you taken the crosses off the top of Greek churches in your advertising?

‘Is there somebody you will think takes offence? There is. Me, Greeks and many others. I definitely won’t be using you again if you don’t reverse this policy.’

And Daisy Matthews wrote: ‘Why are you erasing the reality from a photo?

‘If there were products from Hindu, Sikh, Jewish, or Muslim countries with their symbols depicted on there I wouldn’t have a problem buying them.

‘As a Christian I feel really hurt, discriminated against, upset and disappointed that you have done this, if it is the case I won’t be shopping at your store anymore.’

You SHOULD be offended by halal. That, for me, is a legitimate concern. First, look up the method of slaughter. And, then, research the fact that a percentage of the proceeds that you are giving goes to what they say are “charities.” Those charities are most often terror organizations. So, yeah, halal is offensive.

You need to educate yourself more about the procedures involved in ‘halal’ slaughter and ‘kosher’ slaughter. In essence the latter has strict rules which are scrupulously observed and supervised. The former has similar rules but the observance and regulation is much more lax. You might also want to look at ‘regular’ slaughter which is not always as perfect as it claims to be.

No, The land has been the Jew’s land from Abraham and will be theirs forever. Read your Bible. Besides, The law of possession is in effect since time began. If you go to war and lose your land, it belongs to the winner. This is like arguing that we should give the land back to the Indians. Ain’t gonna happen. Borders have been moving since the earth began. Mexico isn’t going to get Texas back and the Arabs lost Israel. Gaza belonged to Egypt and they lost it. The West bank belonged to Jordan. They lost it. Golan Heights belonged to Lebanon, They lost it. Why are the Palestinians fighting over land they never owned? Why don’t the other countries argue the land belongs to them? The history of the land is lining up with Bible prophesy getting ready for the final battle and the return of Jesus.

Jerusalem Population

There were hardly any Jews in Palestine prior to the 1830’s
when Yiddish-speaking indigent Jews from Eastern Europe
began to arrive who were sent to live on charity (halukka).
These poor Jews from Eastern Europe were sent to Palestine
to plant the seed of Jewish presence ahead of the Zionist
stampede that was to start.

Jerusalem population
1838 – 3,000 Jews – 4,500 Muslims – 3,500 Christians – 11,500 Total
1844 – 7,120 Jews – 5,000 Muslims – 3,390 Christians – 15,510 Total

All the Jews were YIDDISH-SPEAKING recent migrants from Eastern Europe.

Jews were living in Jerusalem continuously, not just from 19th century. There is plenty of documentation.

Jews have continuously prayed towards the Temple in Jerusalem over the centuries. Muslims pray towards Mecca, Jerusalem is not even mentioned in the Quran. The Jewish Bible and prayerbook is filled with references to Jerusalem. Who has the greater connection spiritually to the land of Israel? The Jews, of course.

Just curious, what’s your opinion of all those Muslims moving to Europe? Should they be kept out for “racial” reasons?

There have always been Jews living in Jerusalem. A small number of Jews never left. On the other hand, there actually is no record of any nation called Palestine with a culture or self government, that was the name given to a region by the Romans after they destroyed Israel. The only one who is suffering from delusional myth making is you and the “Palestinians.” We know that Arabs moved into the area from Syria, Egypt, etc.

repression and suffering the rural population remained
unchanged.”

Per Melanie Phillips:

“At the core of the leftist onslaught against Israel lies the belief that
it is a “settler”, colonialist enterprise through which the Jews, with
no historical claim to the land, turfed out the indigenous Palestinians
whose home it had been since antiquity. In fact, the precise opposite is
true: the “Palestinians” are the true settlers and colonialists while
the Jews are the only extant indigenous people and the only people for
whom the land of Israel was ever their national kingdom.”

Genetic studies on Jews https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_studies_on_Jews

“In August 2012, Dr. Harry Ostrer in his book Legacy: A Genetic History of the Jewish People, summarized his and other work in genetics of the last 20 years, and concluded that all major Jewish groups share a common Middle Eastern origin.[9] Ostrer also claimed to have refuted the Khazar theory of Ashkenazi ancestry.[10] Citing autosomal DNA studies, Nicholas Wade estimates that “Ashkenazic and Sephardic Jews have roughly 30 percent European ancestry, with most of the rest from the Middle East.” He further noticed that “The two communities seem very similar to each other genetically, which is unexpected because they have been separated for so long.” Concerning this relationship he points to Atzmon’s conclusions that “the shared genetic elements suggest that members of any Jewish community are related to one another as closely as are fourth or fifth cousins in a large population, which is about 10 times higher than the relationship between two people chosen at random off the streets of New York City”[11]”

I’m sure there is no way anyone could break through your deep rage and hatred for Jews. Is it because you were raised as a Muslim?

I wouldn’t assume that all the Israelites who came to Europe were married and abandoned their families. In fact I’d assume the opposite, that they were young men looking for opportunities. The only thing we can say for sure is that they did travel to Europe and they did marry Europeans. Shall I repeat again that Jews are not a racial group? There is no obsession with the notion of “purity” of Jewish blood within the Jewish people, just among Jew haters such as yourself.

Is there some cognitive deficiency which causes you to be incapable of learning anything about the history of the Jewish people? It’s not an assumption. You asked whether the men who left abandoned their wives and children and I answered what I thought. There were numerous exiles of the Jews who were seen as a threat to the absolute authority of the Roman empire. What Jews were living in the land of Israel over the centuries of rule by Christians and Ottomans, etc.? Mostly they were older people and spiritual pilgrims visiting the “Holy Land” as it was called. The Jewish centers were Jerusalem, Hebron, Safed, and Tiberias. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Holy_Cities Jews were persecuted under some regimes and tolerated under others. The history is available.

Here is what Harry Katz had to say discussing his DNA results
…………………………………………………………………………
“But I see no genetic evidence for our (Askenazic) roots in the

Middle East, and I disagree with you that there are major
similarities between the DNA of the Ashkenazim and Sepharadim
unless intermarried. The origin of the Ashkenazim is not resolved
at all. All I know is that it is a very isolated, restricted gene pool
with little evidence of DNA infusions from other Europeans, as a
whole. The Ashkenazim are not a hybrid group, but the purest
white European group outside of Scandinavia, perhaps.”
………………………………………………………………………………
I do not see how the Ashkenazim and Sephardim are related; we
do not share the same inherited genetic disorders, and although
the commonality is supposed to be the common Levant” or
“Middle eastern” source none of this turns up in my ancestry and
I am representative of 93% of Ashkenazim.”
………………………………………………………………………………

To me there is simply no way that this population could have
arisen out of the Jewish exiles following the fall of Jerusalem. The
Ashkenazim , are, indeed, a very peculiar people, whose roots- in
my opinion- are Russian, but whose religion is Middle eastern. I
would submit that the apostles- and Jesus- have more DNA in
common with today’s Palestinians than today’s Ashkenazim!
………………………………………………………………………………
Help me out here, Mr. Entine. I just received my DNA results; I am
99% European, and 93% Jewish European. My Dna results clearly
indicate I have absolutely no Middle Eastern DNA. I am, as
expected 2% Italian- non-Jewish, (I had thought, perhaps, more),
but where on earth is the Middle Eastern DNA of the Ashkenazi
of whom I am VERY representative?
………………………………………………………………………………
Hold it… I don’t understand. I am an Ashkenazi Jew, and my DNA
results which just came back indicate that I have NO Middle
Eastern DNA, and this is supposed to be representative of
Ashkenazi in general. Where, then, does the Middle eastern DNA
show up in a profile that is 99 European, of which 93% is Jewish
European, with no Middle eastern DNA?

Therefore, DNA just guessed that Anna Katz was 0% Ashkenazi because her last name is from her husband.

“How Reliable Are Home DNA Ancestry Tests? ”

The entire world are happy with their DNA results. Many people from around the world have recorded their DNA results and shared them with the world. For some, the results were what they did not expect. Some Ethiopians found out they were like 30% Middle Eastern, 30% North Africa and 40% Southern African was a shock because they had no Eastern Africa DNA. But still they shared it with the world. The one group who is totally quiet is the Ashkenazi. There are thousands of videos on Youtube of people talking about their DNA results but not even 1 Ashkenazi is online talking about their DNA – because – what can they share? That they are 99.9% European and 0% Middle East and they feel embarrassed by it.

Look at this Ashkenazi in anguish when he discovered he had no Middle East DNA:

“Am I really ethnically Jewish? 23andme says that I’m 91.8% Ashkenazi but I’m 99.8% European. I thought I’d have some Middle Eastern heritage if I was genetically Jewish.”

You need to face reality that the Ashkenazi is as European as George Bush and Hilary Clinton.

In both the books of Genesis and Amos, they heavily indicate that Philistines are of alien origin. Prior to their invasion and occupation into Canaan, it is really unknown where they originated. Almost makes you wonder if the recent claims and skulls found during the time of Pharaoh Akhenaten really is from outer space. It would have been around 1300’s BC, after the time the Hebrews’ exodus out of Egypt and into Canaan/ Israel who were later invaded by the Palestinians in Canaan. And Palestinians has the elongated heads. It has been proven the Palestinians came from Egypt; they have no rights to any of the area of Israel with started with a much larger region then; included the entirety of Israel, Gaza and the West Bank.

The connection of the Philistines with a place called Caphtor is definitely stated in Amos ix. 7: ‘Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?’ It is repeated in Jeremiah xlvii. 4, where the Philistines are referred to as ‘the remnant of the i of Caphtor’. The word ’I is rendered in the Revised Version ‘island’, with marginal rendering ‘sea coast’. This means that the land of Israel and Caphtor were definitely different places and Palestinians were not in Israel. Generally accepted by modern Caphtor, also known as Kaptaru or Kaptar in ancient Akkadian sources and Keftiu in ancient Egyptian sources to be the island of Crete thru to Cyprus in the Mediterranean Sea.

As far back as the 12th century BCE in ancient Egypt. It is from an inscription located at a mortuary temple in Medinet Habu, situated on the western side of Thebes in Egypt. Dating to approximately 1150 BCE and commissioned by the
Pharaoh Ramesses III. These people were the Pelishtim, i.e. Palestinians and
they didn’t even get along with the Egyptians even way back then they were
nasty.

Again, in Deuteronomy ii. 23, certain people called the Caphtorim, ‘which came out of Caphtor’, are mentioned as having destroyed the ‘Avvim that dwelt in villages as far as Gaza, and established themselves in their stead. From above it appears the Palestinians are being called Caphtorim people now since that is where they are really from and also that they took over and occupied land that wasn’t theirs. All of this happened way before Islam was even thought about. So why is there such a connection to Israel for Muslims and Palestinians? Does Islam really need more than one wholly, wholly place? NO. It is over the course of centuries of Islam that they intent to interlope the covenants of their faith, as they did with the Christians’ faith, and drive them out of existence. Islam is a picking and choosing at whim the likes of Christianity and Judaism with his own warped twist on it to provide reasoning behind taking what was not his.

Bottom line; Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza need to be removed. They are violent, hateful and have no qualms killing Jews – but that’s okay with you Anti-Semitics, isn’t it?

Jews were in Israel before it became Israel. The land was lawfully awarded to the Jews May 14th 1948.
Muslims had not been able to do anything useful with that land
for thousands of years.
But in just a few years the Jews made the desert “blossom”, and they
deserve to have this land.

I really don’t understand what the big deal is if the company wants to remain religiously neutral, and why anyone should be offended by their choice, a choice which is really none of their business. So, now, the company is being accused of the most ludicrous things, “catering to specific people” and “hiding from the history.” In fact, some think that this is so earthshaking that it will somehow affect history and its lessons. One person even feels “hurt, discriminated against, upset and disappointed” by a PHOTOGRAPH! And, so, everyone jumps on yet another inane, vapid “cause” bandwagon. OMG, people it is products on a shelf, something I seriously doubt will make the history books or even be remembered later on. If a photo upsets you, I shudder to think what really important things do. I think some people have way too much time on their hands and are making way too big of a deal over this corporation’s choice, key word “choice.” Are the products specifically Christian? No. If you are offended, don’t buy it, simple, or start your own corporation and proudly display whatever pictures you like. Better yet, get a hobby.

I think you do not understand the issue.The photograph does not cause offence it is the removal of a Christian symbol which annoys and the implication that some people would not buy the product if it had a cross on its packaging.And if Lidl thought it necessary to be seen as religiously neutral by doctoring the photograph it would have been better if they had not used a photograph of a church in the first place.

Being “religiously neutral” by removing all religious context is the equivalent as being intolerant to religion. It’s freedom shaking… not earth shaking. And yes, it is catering to the “potentially” offended people… or someone in the chain store is being an offended pansy-ass. Has nothing to do with hiding from history, but erasing it.

It is the clueless like you that are accomplices to this egregious and Anti American, Anti Freedom, Anti Religious fascism. You will be one of the first beheaded.

It is not just happening to Christians. It is happening to my People, Jews. Historical Hindu and Buddhist Temples and Shrines are being blown to pieces by Muslims without a word or eyebrow raised at the UN. Photoshop or historical facts left out of Maps on Designer Clothes so Israel Disappears. All this with one beneficiary, Muslims and Muslim Countries. Unfortunately this Pope who arose out of the mysterious Retirement of Pope Benedict panders to Forces that were unthought of previously.

Imam gave a speech in 2015

When ISIS attacks non-Muslims, they immediately blame Islam
for it. I have no doubt that ISIS is motivated by an agenda run by
the enemies of Islam – by the enemies of Islam. And I want to
bring this to your attention: ISIS has targeted people:

• in Lebanon,
• in Syria,
• in Iraq,
• in Kuwait,
• in Saudi Arabia,
• in Pakistan,
• in Afghanistan,
• in Yemen,
• in Algeria.

The only place – the only place that has been completely safe and
has never been threatened by ISIS nor has it been targeted is
Israel. What does that tell you? It speaks out, it speaks volumes,
that ISIS somehow is connected to Israel. And ISIS is playing the
role of the arm of the Zionist in the Muslim world to kill more
Muslims and non-Muslims so it can defame the name of Islam. So
people can blame Islam for its atrocities so people will be
alienated from this religion, a peaceful religion, our religion.
Otherwise, who is benefiting from these atrocities? Are Muslims
benefiting? When they are jeopardizing the fate of 6 millions in
the United States. 20 million Muslims live in Europe. Their fate,
their well being, their livelihood is being jeopardized by ISIS. Has
Islam benefited? No! The number 1 beneficiary of all these
atrocities – I tell you – is the Zionist. It is the Zionist regime. And
unfortunately this is the fact that we need … we have not been
able to make people understand. This is the fact that we need to
tell the world that ISIS – no matter how they look, with long
beards and robes, and Islamic slogans, shouting “Allah-
Wa-Akbar” after every atrocity, after every crime they commit,
that does not mean they are Muslims at all. These are the
enemies of Islam and the enemies of the Muslim Umma who are
bent on destroying the reputation of Islam.

By G-d Muslims are geniuses at figuring out our secrets and Operating Procedures. Probably the top ISIS people are ZMossad Agents. Everyone can see this after-all they are trying to distract everyone from the Palestinian Issue, I bet. Do you agree?
I want to reiterate to you not because it gives me pleasure to cause someone pain about their plight but you either don’t see it or it goes right over your head. In the Arab World the Palestinian has been and remains so the Pariah. The Arab Countries have never offered true help, integration, isn’t doing so today and never will offer you the rights of Citizenship in their Country. They don’t trust you, know you are trouble and have been trouble. They have a long memory, Black September, Southern Lebanon, Tunisia to name a few. They remember problems with Europe becuse of you and while every Arab leader sobbed in public for Arafat they were very happy to see him go since he was stealing 10s of millions of dollars meant for you. How do you think he amassed $1billion and today Suha Arafat leads a life so removed from Gazans they would never recognize the life of luxury she enjoys while some of them suffer.
As far as my country, Ottoman tax record confirm that there were more Jews living in Jerusalem for the past 300 years than any other group. The indentation on the door posts for mezzuzot give it away as well in all parts of the Old City. Safed too, had a larger Jewish population.
What did the Arab population do with the land to improve it? Nothing. Jews however brought life back even to the desert. Jews created a Medical health care system better than most in Western Countries. We treat everyone and this means everyone including Palestinians for everything OBGYN CanCER. During the 2014 War we treated the Aunt of one of the Hanas leaders we also had a field Hospital at the Gaza/Israel Border. We treated both civilian and Hamas fighter injured. IS THIS SAME HUMANITY RECEIPROCATED? We do accept Palestinians to our University system. However one Senior Medical Student ran off to Join ISIS rather than graduate and giveback to the Palestinian community. For the first time ever in the history of the region there is Freedom of Worship AND Freedom of Access to Places of Worship. Compare this to the 56 Muslim Countries

Brilliant comment, and as far as responding to Jew haters it is a waste of time. Muzzies who visit this site are obviously masochists because they probably enjoy being confronted in this forum with ugly truths about their demonic cult everyone with an ounce of common sense and decency can easily recognize.
The reactions of these followers of “the religion of peace” (the peace of the cemeteries that is after they have beheaded those who won’t convert or pay the dhimmi tax) show the poison in their souls. This female reacts to obvious truths with “blocking” you and others who don’t swallow her bull***t and with “not having time to read “long comments” that are uncomfortable to her views.
Syrians that have been wounded by the civil war, as well as other muslims do receive medical treatment by Israeli doctors, something they don’t brag about, but on the other hand, it is about time that these so-called “Palestinians” who commit terrorist acts start realizing that they are f***ing with the wrong guys.

Ken O’Keefe: ISIS = Israeli Intelligence Security Service

Partial transcript of the video – Ken O’keef speaking

If you really want to know what is happening with the Middle Eastern policy you must read Oded Yinon’s Strategy for Israel in the 1980’s”. In that document, which is pretty much being played out to a T right now and has been for many years. There were serious objectives for Israel and Israel’s main objectives were to expand and grow in line with the Greater-Israel project and in order for it to do that there would need to be an excuse to justify the expansion of Israel and in order to do that we would have to sow the seeds of sectarian hatred and violence in the region. The number one target of this plan was Iraq. We have achieved that, that is not a failure, that is actually a success. Iraq is a failed state, it is an absolute basket case, sectarian hatred is absolutely insane. It is all part of the plan to break up Iraq into three different states. When we look at Syria, we also find that the goal is once again the same thing: sow the seeds of sectarian hatred and basically turn that nation into a basket case. This is happening according to plan as well.

ISIS could stand for the Israeli Secret Intelligence Service. Many people are seeing big benefits to the “State of Israel”, the so-called “Jewish State of Israel” by the break up and the balkanization of the surrounding states,

Why has ISIS or Al-Nusra -Front or Al-Quaeda not once have they eve attacked Israel? In fact, ISIS militants are getting medical attention in the Golan Heights and in Israel itself. What does that tell you?”
