The Israeli military on Saturday entered the compound of the Holy Family Catholic Parish in Gaza, shooting at anyone leaving the church.

The victims are an elderly woman and her daughter who rushed out of the building to rescue her mother. Israel has justified the attack, claiming the presence of a missile launcher in the parish.

Somehow the Christian Right in America doesn’t care about Christian’s dying as long as they’re Arab.

[-] Gazumi@lemmy.world 31 points 8 months ago

Shhhhh, important to forget that Palestinians includes Christians. Easier to accept war crimes that way.

This is looking less and less like a war by the day, and more and more like mass execution.

Welcome to the the Palestinian holocaust...

They learned from the best.

I wonder if that might get the Catholics to condemn Israeli war crimes?

I believe the Pope has already characterized these actions as terrorism.

Still, it just breaks my heart. Day after day, so many innocents killed and maimed. It must stop.

Prior to the October 7 attack, the Pope publicly raised the issue of Jewish settlers attacking Palestinian churches. Far right extremist Itamar Ben Ghavir, the cabinet minister tasked with domestic policing, refused to condemn the attacks and said this was justifiable given how anti-Semitic churches are.

I think it's spelled Ben-Gvir, but I'm glad his name is starting to reach American ears. The guy is both the head of the national police and also literally a convicted terrorist.

Biden and Blinken and their allies in media need to start recognizing that Sending weapons to a government that includes convicted terrorists has to be a red line. The guy was on Israeli AND American watchlists before he got appointed to be in charge of the entire Israeli police and prisons. That's just insane. And he's apparently the second most extreme member of the cabinet (the most radical is Bezalel Smotrich, who was charged but never convicted of terrorism).

Amazing how much death and destruction being carried out in the name of a god.
