IDF sniper kills two women inside Gaza church, Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem says
IDF sniper kills two women inside Gaza church, Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem says | CNN
Why wouldn't an IDF sniper kill unarmed citizens in a church? They know that there will be absolutely no repercussions for their actions because the United States is wrapped around their bloodstained fingers and the States will continue to send unlimited money and arms.
I'm absolutely convinced that Israel will blatantly commit genocide and that Palestine will cease to exist within five years. Israel knows full well that public outrage will quickly be forgotten. They're planning for thousands of years of Israel's reign, while the Americans can only think as far as the next presidential election cycle.
I'm gonna start banning Zionists from my business.
Just like how we ban Nazis.
Gonna have a big, fat sign outside that says "No Nazis, No Zionists."
The problem with this is, both are too cowardly to at it that they are either of those things, so they’ll walk on in.
2 Christian women inside a church... Maybe there is a Hamas Tunnel™ inside the church/s
IDF is a terrorist organisation backed by American weapon manufacturers and disgusting politicians
It was a Hamas Church /s
I'm guessing Hamas operatives were hiding inside them.
/s
I'm super curious how the Israeli propagandist crowd here is going to try to justify this one.
Good question, while we're at it, could they also explain why they shot a janitor and bin collector?
“[My family] are reporting white phosphorous and gunfire into their compound,” she said. “The bin collector and the janitor have been shot and their bodies are laying outside and remain uncollected.”
Did they have Hamas bombs in the garbage bags? 🤔 Maybe they were smuggling weapons in the organic waste bin?
It's all Hamas's fault for making Israel do that, or at least that was the Israeli supporter's line yesterday.
Otherwise known as: "what if everyone's abusive ex ran the government?"
Unless video emerges of Israelis actually firing the guns. Which has happened in other scenarios. I think the standard hasbara strategy will be just to say Hamas shot these people to make Israel look bad - false flag
Most people will say almost every major headline you see pushed has never been verified. It doesn't help that Israel isn't letting anyone verify and that it's too dangerous for independent journalists to try to get into Gaza themselves.
CNN cannot independently verify the conditions in and around the church, nor the allegation of the use of incendiary munitions (which can be illegal in some circumstances).
This is a developing story and will be updated.
The cruelty is the purpose.
Maybe they were holding a white flag? \s
Welp… ya gotta have a hobby.
Crusade time!
So the Hamas oct 7 terror attack (which we all condemn) hit about 1/3 security forces and 2/3 civilians.
And Israel is hitting like 90% civilians in Gaza, and even civilians in the West Bank and Lebanon, where Hamas and Hezbollah are or were keeping low.
I always thought it was a terrorist organization against an Apartheid state.
But it seems to look more and more like a terrorist state against freedom fighters.
The Jews have lost the plot and what's worse is that on a very, very visceral level you can't discuss it rationally with them.
"It's us or them".
"They want to wipe us out"
"Remember the Holocaust"
What's horrible is I think most normal people understand that perspective and to some extent we get the deep seeded concern and driver to their actions.
They are punishing a people because of the actions of a few which is bad enough as it is but those people have also been caged for so long with no adequate leadership or organization to do anything about, well, anything.
I'm saying this as a non-Jew with 3 half-Jewish kids. I love the people... But as a nation they need to reflect on themselves not just on recent actions but historically.
I'm going to go to my grave on this, but what has happened to them was horrible and on par with numerous atrocities over the world. Indigenous people were wiped out. Africa was raped and put into bondage for centuries. But what you have in Israel is different.
I think at it's core they continue to not be over The Holocaust. Hurt people hurt people.
Nothing is going to change until the state of Israel changes their approach. Or they can hide behind American hegemony and continue making the ME less safe for them.
Sorry on the rant. It's frustrating. I'm miles away in Canada but anti-Semitism is on the rise everywhere and this bullshit behaviour by a shitstain leader is making things less safe for the people I know.
Hey fun fact. Has anyone actually asked why Anti-Semitism is so sharply on the rise?
Because a lot of governments and organizations actually define criticism of the government of Israel as Anti-Semitism. So they're counting every celebrity, every forum post, and every protestor.
We should be very careful about our labels. Just as we don't want to say all Palestinians are not Hamas. We should not say all Jews are Israel. The government and country of Israel is separate from the ethnicity and separate from the religion. Even though many people speaking on behalf of the country of Israel conflate the labels of the religion and the ethnicity we should be better.
I realize you clarify things by the end of your post, but the first sentence of your post paints with a broad brush stroke
Many, many Jews have been harsh critics of Israel, going all the way back to its founding. Don't lump them in with the terrorists running Israel.
"Was..." but TOTALLY not now.
-NestleYou meant 'condemn', right?
Yes, fixed
Hold on let him cook...
Correction: If you count all casualties as caused by Hamas it's 1/3 security and 2/3 civilians. The IDF racked up a decent Israeli body count (as contradictory as that is) in their response to the attack so the actual ratio has even fewer civilians.
It is compulsory for all Israelis to do military service. In a way, some civilians in the concert are also soldiers. I have no idea how I would look at it but let's not exclude the military service.
Correction: allegedly it hit 2/3 civilians. Reports suggest that IDF soldiers have been told to shoot without asking who they are shooting is going around. Other reports suggest they are trying to hide information and rejecting to invistigate these deaths because it doesn't matter and "there are many of them".
If we learn anything in the last few weeks is that the number is generously inflated.
We should have source links for such claims. Misinformation makes us weaker at deciding what’s right and wrong; every claim like this reasonably needs verification.
