Christian town in west bank attacked and burned

Did you know several members of kibbutz Nir Oz were peace activists who used to.volunteer for Road to Recovery, a charity that transported Palestinians in need of medical care? On 7 October Hamas invadrd the kibbutz, murdered and kidnapped many of them. Why would Israel evacuate their enemies to Israel?

Wasn't its school bombed last year too?

Bree A Dail is minimising the direct hit by calling it stray ammunition.

It was hit because it was targeted.

Really taking advantage of angles there huh?! I wonder why the didn't take a photo from above? Talk about propaganda and the way some people just unquestionably accept it. Not too much damage indeed. Just a bit of shrapnel taking the roof off, killing three people and leaving others in a critical condition.

A tiny bit of positivity, some aid and food from Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Patriarch of Jerusalem to the community.

Why can't civilians in danger from Gaza, or those in need of medical treatment, be evacuated to Israel?
Or why can't Israel stop bombing civilians?

Hamas has got form for launching rockets in close proximity to religious buildings going back over 10 years so if pro-Palestinians don’t want to believe they are doing the same in this war, maybe they could explain why?

That’s good that the church did not suffer a direct hit @Anonimummy and not too much damage

Quite a lot of info and pictures there. Looks like the IDF were aiming for a neighbouring building and the church suffered shrapnel damage. It was NOT a direct hit.

How horrific that civilians are caught up in a such close proximity to combatants in a densely populated urban war zone.

Why haven’t they been given the option of being evacuated to neighbouring safe countries as in any other war do you think?

Yes, I know it.
(Also 🙄when I read about how the "Palestinian supporters" are ignorant of the region, westerners just falling for the latest protest etc. Society is a lot diverse than that).

With the ironic thing being that Arab Christians in the Levant are descendants of the people who lived there in Biblical times. One of the last villages to speak Aramaic is in Syria.

They dont. They're death cult Christians funding the settlers in order to bring about the End Times.

I made this very points months ago on similar threads when Christian hospitals were attacked and bombed.
Yes, apparently Hamas were hiding there too (among other choice statements that I won't repeat).
Honestly I think many US evangelical Christians don't see Arab Christians as real Christians (or real people actually): Catholic, Maronite, Orthodox it doesn't matter. This is racism but also sectarianism.

Absolutely agree.

Fascinating though how thousands of Muslims can be murdered but 3 Catholics triggers a call from Trump (I am Catholic btw) and a Oops we made another mistake statement from Netanyahu.

"Every innocent life lost is a tragedy" is him laughing at the world .

Its blatant lying. They are laughing at the world while they ignore the rules of warfare to exterminate Gazans.

It’s very confusing to know when a criticism is deemed legitimate or if it’s deemed political by the sheer fact that it occurs in Israel.

Can’t we agree that these are violent actions of extremists and should be condemned.

It was a "sorry not sorry " half assed apology.

Pressure from Trump to apologise is the only reason they apologised for this attack, and not all the others.

So they hate Catholics too, what a bloody surprise. We all know this was no mistake, this was very deliberate.

In a social media post, Israel claimed it “never targets churches or religious sites and regrets any harm to a religious site or to uninvolved civilians”.

But yet by Feb 2025 Israel has destroyed 79% of the mosques in Gaza and 3 churches including Church of Saint Porphyrius one of the oldest churches in the world.

So either it's crap at identifying buildings or blatantly lying.

I did read that three people had died in the IDF attack on the church. Why are the IDF constantly killing Palestinians by mistake? Just recently they killed children waiting for water and now attacking a church.
