Not really not the onion though. The Pope was apparently calling priests in Gaza almost every day. He believed parking the Popemobile in front of hospitals and children's clinics would make for really bad optics if (who am I kidding, when) Israel bombs them.
He was right though, it would look terrible when Israel bombs them.
Yesterday Israel used a bomb for a gender reveal. They don't care if they look bad.
Touché
I'm not defending Israel or the folk who did that, just saying that some idiot in southern California did that in the last decade too. Started a big fire. I recall we mocked them in public discourse because we had little other way of venting our frustration that a public employee would burn down an appreciable portion of the state to announce what gender they think their child has.
No, they made jokes about how it looked like a gender reveal.
Fucking Al Jazeera.

This isn't the comeback you think it is.
It's not a comeback, it's setting the record straight. Repeating false accusations doesn't help anyone.
