Pope condemns attacks on civilians in Gaza: ‘It is war; it is terrorism’
Pope Francis launches a heartfelt appeal for an end to the “terrorism” of war, and condemns an Israeli military attack on Gaza’s Holy Family Catholic ...
He's right on this one. We shouldn't be supporting a government that kills civilians no matter how much they try to justify it with saying there were legitimate targets behind them.
Often the excuse isn't even "bad guys behind the civilians" it's "probably bad guys somewhere sort of in the general area, but we didn't actually check first".
Oh yeah, then there's the "old lady trying to drag her dying mother into a church" those are always valid targets, apparently. As is the old lady's mother before the whole being drug into a church thing.
Dropping support for Israel is going to result in is more dead Israeli citizens, because Hamas sure as hell won't stop attacking Israel just because Israel stops bombing them. Iran would laugh all the way to the bank where they would grab some more money to fund Hamas.
The government of the Gaza Strip (Hamas) was behind an intentional attack on Civilians that prompted this whole mess.
The government of Israel is intentionally attacking civilians in retaliation, mostly because those civilians are being used as human shields or are complicit with or supporting Hamas.
The whole thing is shit, and likely will not be resolved until Iran or the US back down on their support and the other side pushes out whoever lost support.
Edit: To all you idiots downvoting. Do you think Ukraine should jus give up territory to save civilian lives too? You're being naive. There's a reason why the governments of the western nations are still supporting these countries. These situations are a lot more important than you think for the balance of world power.
Oh boy, I can't wait to see my Catholic conservative family melt down over this one lmao. Papal infallibility is fun when it's on the right side of history
Bro the pope is infallible only if he agrees with them
Pope isn't acting in an "infalliable" role with this statement, unfortunately.
Damn, that's disappointing. At least I still get to see them seethe over the acceptance of lgbt people
You’ll know by the hat
Yesterday the same quote was posted, but instead of "on civilians" it was "killing Christians" (or something like that).
Hot take scumbag. Who cares? Fuck the pope. His opinion means absolutely nothing. Every less-than-complete-shit-bag-of-a-human has already been saying this for years, without the delusional thinking that their opinion is somehow more special than everyone else's.
