I mean I’m all for holding Israel’s feet to the fire for blowing up stuff that clearly isn’t a military target. But with so many missiles in the air from both sides, it would be nice for any article that puts the blame on one side or the other actually show us why they came to that conclusion. It does not.

In other news, Hamas fires 20,000 missiles indiscriminately at Israel and the international community doesn’t care because it’s not inline with woke American popular culture.

Well, why not. If the terrorist holed up there sure by all means

With the Hamas tunnels and bases going under in or near schools and hospitals and anywhere there are innocent civilians, it’s amazing this hasn’t happened more. Israel is making every effort to not hit civilians, unlike the four countries end up to eight groups attacking them.

This is the exact reason why burrowing tunnels under cities and using cities as fighting positions, especially if personnel aren’t in uniform, is such an insidious tactic. Doubly so if there’s been absolutely no effort to evacuate civilians to remove them from the crossfire, as has occurred in multiple contested towns in Ukraine.
While it would be grand if militaries could go back to the concept of fighting away from civilians and having “open cities” that get captured without widespread fighting inside them, I don’t think it’s going to happen. Especially not in a conflict where the likes of Hamas and Hezbollah are combatants.

Heaven forbid you destroy a building that has a cross tacked on it. That’s a direct insult to GOD or ALLAH or whoever (someone fact check me here). When you go inside one and yell out sanctuary it’s supposed to mean something, even if you are a terrorist with a weapons. I’m pretty sure it’s written in the Bible and the Qur’an that thou shalt be untouchable and free from retaliation whist in a house of the holy, which (and I’m directly quoting both books here) is exactly doubly so if you make sure to have innocent children around your rocket launchers. If in the satanic event that you are attacked, you can hold up those dead children as evidence of your sanctified and divine appointment as the chosen soldiers. This of course is all conditioned on having the appropriate religious symbol above the doorway. If not, all of this is moot.

Using a protected structure for military purposes means that structure loses its protected status.

Is every building Israel fires upon going to be a new article? Who was hiding in the underground bunker? I understand there are casualties that could be avoided, but how about not firing 20,000 rockets into Israel? How does that sound as a starting point? How the fuck are they getting that much money to spend in buying rockets? I know why….it baffles my mind how Iran is still not getting all fingers pointing at it when everyone seems to care when Israel does something bad.

Conveniently leaving out why that church had to be attacked in the first place?

Why would you attack a church? Israel, you gotta stop just shooting without aiming first!

It’s a building like any other.
Why does it matter if it was a christian church? Why does it need special news about just this building?

8 what dead?? chickens? women ? hezbollah terrorists? If it was civilians surely it would be included in the title as 8 civilians killed. When the dead are islamic radical terrorists they just leave out the label so that people can make their own assumption and get more clicks on the article.
