David Bogdanovskyi, Israeli citizen who happens to be Christian, dies while serving in the IDF and this is how he and his family are treated. Despicable.
New Arab: Family of Christian Israeli soldier killed in Gaza ordered to remove cross from headstone.
David Bogdanovskyi's mother says she felt humiliated after seeing a black cloth on her son's headstone after visiting his grave.
The family of a Christian Israeli soldier killed in Gaza has been asked to replace the headstone on his grave because it had a cross on it, Israeli media reported on Tuesday.
David Bogdanovskyi was killed in December during Israel's assault on Gaza and was buried at the Haifa military cemetery.
His family told Israeli media that they were ordered by the Public Council for Commemoration of Fallen Soldiers in the defence ministry to either remove the headstone from the grave or have him reburied outside the cemetery.
The family said the request had come after complaints by Jewish families who had claimed the cross offended them and affected their ability to pray in the cemetery. [ There's the "Play the Victim" Card. EFT. - DD ]

"The cross engraved on his headstone was an integral part of his personal identity and the faith," [his mother] said in a Facebook post.
