Welcome to c/Christianity

"Let it be very clear, then, that when the church preaches social justice, equality, and human dignity; when the church defends those who suffer poverty or violence, this is not subversive nor is it Marxism. This is the authentic magisterium of the church.

It just feels utterly surreal to read "ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR" headline over the story "Israeli snipers execute woman for trying to take a shit, then execute her small child for going to check on her."
Like, where the fuck even is Hamas in all this? Every story that comes out of the conflict is just a different kind of war crime by the Israelis.
Hamas has 1/5 the number of ~~prisoners~~ hostages as Israel has Palestinian prisoners, so Israel has no choice but to murder a mother and child for shitting!
This doesn't change the point at all but just for the record, it wasn't a small child, it was an elderly woman and her adult daughter.
