Baal Effigy Burned, Trump and Netanyahu Piñatas Smashed at Pro-Iran Protest

A demonstration in Mexico City drew attention after protesters voiced support for Iran and Palestine while condemning the United States and Israel. They did this by burning an effigy of Baal and then had children smash piñatas that resembled U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the form of an infant. The protestors also ripped apart attached American and Israeli flags.

During the protest, demonstrators openly declared solidarity with Iran and Palestine while criticizing what they described as “illegal aggressions” by the United States and Israel.

One protestor said she supported these actions as: “solidarity with the Iranian people, in solidarity with Palestine, in solidarity with the disappeared women in Mexico and with every act of repression, discrimination and oppression in the world.”

The rally included participants from the Shiite Muslim community in Mexico, who said they were standing with Iran amid ongoing tensions between Iran, Israel and the United States. “We are supporting this cause, supporting Iran against what we consider illegal aggressions from the United States and the illegitimate state of Israel against the noble Iranian people,” another protester stated.

Yet, this isn’t the only recent Baal burning that took place. On social media, another video of recent Baal burning was recorded and shared on X.

“Iranians just torched another child sacrifice god Baal statue” …. Crowds chanted … “We burn these idols for eternity with hatred” … “We are warriors who destroy Satan.”


This comes after the initial Baal burning that took place in Iran as part of the 47th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution.

As we see the actual signs of the return of ancient gods like Baal in our culture, it is a reminder that we are in the middle of a spiritual war. Scripture repeatedly warns that nations will rage and align themselves against God’s purposes (Ps. 2:1–2). This is a moment for Christians to pray for discernment, peace and the advancement of God’s kingdom even as nations clash on the world stage.
