Do we actually know who bombed the hospital in Gaza yet?

[Ididivfama]

I keep seeing mixed reports. It’s really unsettling not to know.

Yes, I'd expect highly trained special forces units to be going in first to start clearing the urban environment. They're skilled in ambush tactics too.

That's why we sent in the SAS, first unofficially and then officially, against PIRA who came a cropper when faced with the big boys.

Israel Defense Force special forces penetrate first with headcam footage sent back to HQ.

Israel have now bombed a church. As a Christian I have no words 😥

indefensible behaviour.

Did you have any words when Christians were ethnically cleansed from Iraq resulting in 2,000,000 refugees?

What a strange question?

The Greek Orthodox and Muslim communities have been living side by side harmoniously in Palestine for years. What’s Iraq got to do with this?

I have reported your post.
How very dare you when a church has just been bombed.

There are less than 1000 Christians in Gaza and that number gets smaller every year.,

It's says a lot about your character that that is your response to a bomb targeting a church that was being used to shelter displaced women and children. You can condemn the actions of Israel without condoning the actions of Hamas.

It's not about my character, it's more about some people care more about some groups than others. The Same kind of people who did that in Iraq are in charge in Gaza.

OK. So you are condoning the bombing of a church being used to shelter displaced women and children. The fact that you think it is justified says a lot about your character.

Not at all if you know the history of the middle east past and resent. Plus there isn't much comment about any of if if Jews are not involved.

Palestinians judging by some of the Islamist rules that Hamas has treated to make are not really die hard Muslims but more born into Muslim families. They told Hamas to stick it up there arses when they tried to bring in hijab and modest dress women plus other more Islam based rules or laws. Each time Hamas has tried to force them to be a more Islamic people Gazens have rioted or thought back in other ways.

All this means that they are not the most Islamic die hards of the Muslim world and can tick along side Christians for the most part. However Hamas leaders not quite as good about their opinion of Christians and only put up with them in Gaza. It helps western image etc.

I’m sorry I can’t respond to your points as they are quite incoherent.

What has the number of Orthodox Christians living in Palestine got to do with the fact that they have bombed one of the few churches in Gaza?

This is a thread about Gaza, rather than a thread about Iraq. Asking "what about Iraq" is beside the point, whataboutery and a distraction technique.

I posted my reaction after a church was bombed by Israel in Gaza.

I would feel equal pain if a church was bombed elsewhere in the world.

This thread is about the Israeli Occupation of Gaza.

Why am I being asked about any Christian suffering in the rest of this world in this thread?

Please keep it relevant.

you're obviously just writing anything you want at this stage.

It should be common knowledge by now that if you don't agree with the "I hate Hamas, but" people

Then you will be reported and reported until there are none of us left.

I hate Hamas, just as much as I hate the Israeli government right now.

You do you, this conversation wouldn't be happening if it wasn't for Hamas.

I really don't think the "you must be a terrible person then" posts are particularly helpful.

If you don't take in to account the wider connotations of the ME then you have no hope of understanding the current situation or indeed what lies ahead.

The Israeli government began their occupation/colonization objective 75 years ago, and have systematically killed and exterminated the Palestinians - irrespective of Hamas actions.

Again your arguments do not make sense.

I got told yesterday that "you support the killing of muslim women and children" on this thread, and got reported for my response.....

But it's not as straight forward and as simple as that.

The Arab armies invaded Israel 6 times, for example.

You have zero nuance of the situation.

@FreeCoathangers seriously?!
Tbh I just skip over the posts that are shrieking hyperbole and rage. I really appreciate and carefully read any measured and factual post.
