Hamas in no way is the govt of the West Bank. If anyone has a bit of soul left, they will see this for what it is, the elimination of Christians and Muslims from their homelands by military might against international law and my President Biden supporting this. After all I thought we leaned post George Floyd, we just shifted who we find ok to discriminate against and the rabid hate that was quieted has come back multiple times as strong. It’s almost like there was a built up hate pressure that has exploded. Stop ethnic cleansing, is it to high a bar to ask of our leaders (on both sides as the Republican talking points are just as bad or worse).

How many journalists need to be assassinated before others notice a trend.

And the US and UK give unconditional support.

Way to little, but at least something.

When will the world realize this isn’t about Hamas. Hamas doesn’t govern the West Bank. This is ethnic cleaning. Racial/religious hate. Some day we will be ashamed that we gleefully cheered for this. Killing Christians and Muslims because they worship idols is wrong.

How people still defend the IDF as the good guys is beyond me.

John Kirby, White House spokesman, just said that Israel is doing a better job at protecting civilians than even the US military.

This is I believe the third verified example of this I have seen, one were Israeli hostages. One time is a mistake, this is not. This is the same country that has a directive that will order the military to kill their own citizens.

On Christmas Day, it is time to reflect on what Christ would have wanted. I doubt bombing the descendants of his friends and family would be it.

Or they are also a country that has experienced genocide and also has countrymen facing religious persecution in Jerusalem just for being Christian on a daily basis

The festivities and feasting are cancelled when over half of Gaza is being starved. Christmas itself, prayers, and hope that peace comes as Christ calls for is not. Listen to what the priests have said and not the title.

Nothing says democracy like non-freedom of the press.

There are many Christian Palestinians. Where do you think the oldest churches in the world are.

No, but most of what they are quoting is from a major Israeli newspaper. This was out several days ago, but didn’t get picked up here in the states.

I want them to not bomb kids. Bombing kids is what terrorists do. If you want to kill someone in a tunnel, go in the tunnel. You don’t bomb kids. You don’t bomb hospitals.

With Kissinger gone, Biden can carry the torch.

They are arming the settlers. This is now somewhere around 100 dead in the West Bank.

Wow, racist much? Why is the Church if the Nativity in Palestine, the answer is that is where Christ was born and many Christians live there. One of the first things Israel bombed in Gaza was St Porphyrius Greek Orthodox Church which was one of the oldest churches in the world. Last week Israeli snipers killed several at the Catholic Church in Gaza. There are not as many Christians in Gaza anymore as most fled over the last 16 years of blockade, but to suggest that all Palestinians are Muslim is an embarrassing take.

That is correct, Bethlehem is under occupation in the West Bank. People in Gaza cannot get permits to visit for Christmas. Also, people in the occupied West Bank who lost families when churches in Gaza were bombed and family members are being denied food, water, and medical aide do not feel that feasts and presents are appropriate. It is a time for prayer not presents.

Instead of pushing for a solution, we move nukes??? It’s time to push back on the military industrial complex and get diplomats working.
