  1. The 60ft long cross made from loose stones is believed to have been in place for at least 50 years on the hill below the Great Orme summit in Llandudno, north Wales, a popular tourist spot that is widely known in the local area.

    So when footage emerged that appeared to show a group of young people, some apparently wearing traditional kippah headcaps, removing stones from a long-standing Christian symbol, many were furious.

  3. “People move rocks”

    Saved you a click. Literally nothing more to see/read

  4. Time to claim it as the star of Dewi Sant. {joking}.

  6. What a weird thing to do. Honestly if they’d got some different stones and made a start of David along side that would be fine but breaking up the cross just seems like deliberate shit stirring.

  7. If I see them, I’m not going to greet them in Welsh. Call it anti-shwmaetism if you like.

  9. Shit stirring from the Mail and the tourists. Double whammy engagement Batman.

  11. People in the Llandudno Facebook groups absolutely lost their minds over this. Several people said to call the police because “a hate crime has been committed”. One person even said to call 999 to report the hate crime. I’d love to know how that would go down

  13. Comments here astound me, if the roles were reversed everyone would be up in arms, yet the reddit denizens are claiming it’s an antisemitic false flag operation 🤣

  14. it was a shame, ruin one religious symbol to make another, few locals popped up the other morning and put it all back how it was.

  15. Landmark!
    It’s a load of stones set into a cross. A group could turn up and turn it into a Star Trek badge symbol. It’s an arrangement of stones, easy to turn back, it’s not some sacred monument.

    Bloody hell I’ve lived here ten years, been up on the Orme (not a euphemism) and neither seen nor heard of it before. I bet quite a few of the outraged Facebook group people hadn’t either.

  17. That’s not a Star of David, it’s a Star of Dai. Dafydd at a push.

  18. I hope they are found and face criminal justice.

  23. I was in a flat share with an Israeli guy.Whenever a letter came addressed ‘to the occupier’, I gave it to him.

  25. This was a few miles away. The local community groups were on FIRE when this happened!

  27. “at least 50 years”

    So the cross had been there since the 70s. Hardly a listed building.

  28. Group of Jewish tourists? Group of people dressed up like Jewish tourists to stir hate? I’m not sure.

    Daily Mail intentionally pushing bollocks in order to stir hate? Almost certainly. If the daily mail told me water was wet, I’d go and check. Either way, it’s a couple of bellends, it’s not the end of the world.
