So is this a Christian who doesn’t know what government jesus lived under or a Jewish person who doesn’t know why the diaspora happened and got really mad when presented with that information in a museum

If you read the article, you will find that it is an American Jewish person.

Huh, usually I hear about American Christians or Catholics doing stupid shit lol

Yeah this one subverted some tropes, that's for sure. But hey, when they can deal with the existence of Ashura and the Sumarian pantheon, then they can start getting close to artifacts again. Until then, this guy needs a big museum ban for life

I saw the bit about citing the Torah but I’ve met Christians who might phrase it that way in Israel, so I was still open to either possibility
