Local journalists are reporting that the Israeli military just bombed the very church in Gaza that Pope Francis used to call every night. Israel killed 2 Christians and injuring 6 more.

Was Hamas in the church now?

If you still actually believe this is "Muslim vs Jew" and not War Criminal vs Civilians, then idk what to tell you but you're helping whitewash genocide.

@QasimRashid Just to play devils advocate, muslim vs. jew is in no way a less evil alternative to war criminal vs. civilian. If innocent victims are being murdered the religious or ethnic background of the perpetrators or victims or how far back you trace some imagined historical grievances or claims to territory don’t matter . Tell it to the victims I doubt they see that distinction

@CaptMorgan I have no idea why people think playing "devil's advocate" is helpful.

I'm addressing the claim of zealots who claim they have to kill palestinians because they're apparently commanded by religion to kill Jews. It's all hogwash and false propaganda used to justify genocide, and it's not worth defending as "devils advocate."

@QasimRashid @CaptMorgan The good captain is not, of course, really playing devil's advocate, but instead refocusing the discussion on the problem that matters. Your OP is just weird, to be honest; I almost always disagree with you about everything but usually your posts are much better than this one!

Killing innocents in war is like the worst thing, whether they're Christian or Muslim. Unfortunately it's also unavoidable, unless you aren't in a war at all. Can anyone point me to some kind of analysis of whether IDF is doing this more than most armies that have been dragged into a war they didn't start?
