Given that Hamas is hellbent on destroying Israel and has told everyone (including Egypt) that they can shove their cease fire agreements where the sun doesn’t shine, that solution is going to work.
From what I understand, there are approximately 130 Catholics in Gaza. I would guess that Holy Family is the only parish. The website of the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem shows only one parish in Gaza.
Machine translation, while helpful, sometimes produces inaccurate results. We are very fortunate that you are able and willing to make corrections as necessary. We are also fortunate that you are here, presenting a viewpoint from a non-English speaking country. The different vantage can sometimes provide helpful insight.
You are correct. I neglected to mention that the Egyptians are in collusion with Israel while it commits war crimes in Gaza.
The real criminals are Hamas, i.e., they have initiated the violence that has now befallen the Palestinians.
Now why on Earth are the Egyptians and Israelis colluding against Gaza?
I haven’ t been able to find out the number yet.Your link shows only Holy Family as you say. Here they mention 6 nuns instead of 3 in official documents. I remember having read that 3 nuns were ordered to leave Gaza and go to Beit Jala. There your link shows The Assumption parish.
An official with the Gaza energy authority has said that the fire damage will require months, possibly a year, to repair.
War crimes? Really? Aren’t you being a little dramatic?
Egypt has definitely been colluding with Israel, that much can be stated categorically, but I am unsure whether they have directly contributed to Israeli war crimes. They have closed their borders to fleeing Palestinians and sealed tunnel entrances/exits on their soil, at the very least. It’s interesting that some Arab nations are siding with Israel over Hamas:
The fact is, Arabs/Egyptians/etc. don’t want a Palestinian State, otherwise one would have already existed. Israel demonstrated what will happen if one exists, by letting Gaza run itself. I don’t see the Arabs praising this move, and in fact they’re doing the opposite, though implicitly. Muslim countries don’t want these lawless terrorist states to exist on their borders, because they have the potential of taking down governments, as well as murdering anyone in the most vile and brutal ways that simply looks at them the wrong way. Of course Israel understands this, and most westerns simply are clueless about the situation.
Classic maneuver there, dehumanize a group of people to make it easier to accept killing them. Maybe you should look at who is dying in this before claiming it is the Palestinians that are slaughtering people.
Exactly, classic maneuver there. Hamas doesn’t think twice about indiscriminately lobbing rockets in civilian areas in Israel completely unprovoked. These people refuse to recognize Israel right to exist, and would kill every last one of them if given the chance.
It is well known that the people running Egypt are anti-Hamas, because Hamas is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, thousands of whose members are now languishing in Egyptian jails.
I have stated categorically earlier in this thread that what Hamas is doing constitutes a war crime. There is no justification for the indiscriminate lobbing of deadly rockets that are unquestionably intended to hit civilian targets, even if these rockets have no guidance systems and have proven to be woefully ineffective in their aim and objective. Since 2001, 28 Israelis have been killed by these rockets. I posted a link to this statistic earlier in the thread.
That depends on what I did. If, in response, I managed to blow up my enemy’s entire neighborhood, then I would be guilty of a war crime as my response lacked proportionality.
Ah, I see. If only we thought logically and rationally … like you.
By “those people” do you mean the 15 who were killed in the bombing of a UN shelter by Israel?
I noticed this mentioned a couple times. Whats a proportion in relation here?
