  1. An affront against Christ!! How can one commit murder in the house of god

  2. Where are you evangelists? You who celebrate the murders and destruction of innocents, are you celebrating churches destroyed as well?

  3. A Baptist hospital and an Orthodox Church? In a state that's 99% Muslim? I'm sure there's a reason and history but I haven't heard a single thing about this from news sources on either side other than "they hit us", "no they hit themselves". Why do I constantly feel like I'm being led around with blinders on, and that people think nobody is going to catch on to all the polarized BS that is being spread everywhere. Disgusting.

  4. I guess no one bothered to listen to the information provided, the target was the building next door to the church, this isnโ€™t a video game where the strike hits exactly where you want it to. Thats the danger in having terrorists living next to civilians.

  5. Blast from what? Gas stove? ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ I wonder which palestinian group western leaders going to blame now

  6. After reading this news, I came to the conclusion that the Western media are lackeys controlled by capital, just like cnn๐Ÿฅฒ

  7. This unsurprisingly is another proof of bad journalism. โ€œWas hit by an explosionโ€ as if it came out of nowhere. Just say who did it. We all know itโ€™s Israel.

  8. Yes, they (IDF) did bomb a church and a hospital. With civilians inside. We are not human beings to them. The Almighty knows all.

  9. Biden supporting this overshadow a lot, if not all, of the supposed good heโ€™s done for Americans as President. Iโ€™d gladly choose doubling my cost of living if it meant the US government would denounce war crimes from any and all actors (especially itself). Some things should never be compromised away. The couple decent, redeeming qualities of humanity shouldnโ€™t be on the bargaining table.

  10. You should also put in the title that's it's the oldest church in gaza

  11. Palestine needs to fight Hamas

  12. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  13. I have not seen this reported on UK media, not surprised by that.

  14. Deadly explosion !!!? By who, come on , speak!

  15. Do know how many thousands rockets TARGETED from GAZA INTO Israel ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ you are BIAS PEOPLE you IGNORED OR NEVER COMMENTED ON IT. EVEN FROM YEMEN ๐Ÿ‡พ๐Ÿ‡ช AND LEBANON ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ง If not for Isreal ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Drones the casualties and deaths would be worst.. God will protect Isreal ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ

  16. Israel committing war crimes since 1948

  17. Brothers & sisters, our prayers are with you!

    Memory Eternal to the ones who have lost their lives in such a terrible and unjust way. May God protect you all, may Panagiaโ€™s Intercessions help all our brothers and sisters, suffering on those holy lands!

  18. You bomb a church. Couldn't you use other means?

  19. Shame on Christian countries who are supporting war criminal terrorist Zionists

  20. coming from Israel shouldn't be surprising

  21. Israel and America are butchers โ€ฆ committing atrocities against innocent civiliansโ€ฆ
