The death toll from the Israeli bombardment on a Greek Orthodox church in Gaza has risen to eight, with dozens more reported wounded.

Women and children were among those who were killed in the attack on Saint Porphyrius Church in the al-Zaytoun neighbourhood of Gaza, according to the Palestinian news agency WAFA.

    So Hamas has hostages= ok to kill people having nothing to do with it?

    Fuck Hamas, that was a horrible thing they did and anyone who denies that isn’t worth talking to.

    Also fuck Israel for them doing the same thing.

    Can somebody link that difference between the pictures office meme for me?

    Someone killing someone does not mean you get to kill people unrelated to the conflict.

    Is it really so hard to admit that for once both sides are the bad guy here?

    Hear me out, I’m okay with the bombing of churches (not the senseless deaths). If Israel could bomb a church/ temple /synagogue / shrine until they reach the one that actually houses god, then we’d finally know which religion is real ( if any). /s

      How about we don’t bomb things based on ideology, even if the ideology is atheism…

      It’s a bit ironic to call out the issues with organized religion, and then go "I’m ok with bombing the buildings of those I consider ‘other’ "

    Have the Hamas terrorists released their civilian hostages yet? I’m not seeing it.
