Your credibility is germane to this thread. Which is why I'm asking.
I take it by your refusal to answer that you believe him hook, line, and sinker. Therefore, your credibility is zero on this topic. The OP claim doesn't pass the smell test at all. and yet you can't even recognize the obvious.
Again, my credibility has nothing to do with the topic at hand. For some reason you've decided to make this thread about Jewish excellence, the secret double life of Hamas spy Cdl Pizzaballa, and my credibility.
Out-maneuvered?
"You have no credibility"
-my credibility isn't germane here
"See he admitted it"
Since we both know you will avoid that question like the plague.. how about this: Is it POSSIBLE for a cardinal to lie or be wrong?
Obviously. Is it possible for an IDF soldier to shoot two women in a church for no reason?Quote:
The mother and daughter were walking to the Sister's Convent, the patriarchate said, when gunfire erupted. "One was killed as she tried to carry the other to safety," it added.
Seven others were also shot and wounded in the attack at the complex, where most Gaza's Christian families have taken refuge since the start of the war, according to the patriarchate, which oversees Catholic Churches across Cyprus, Jordan, Israel, Gaza and the West Bank.
"No warning was given, no notification was provided," the statement continued. "They were shot in cold blood inside the premises of the parish, where there are no belligerents."https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/16/middleeast/idf-sniper-gaza-church-deaths-intl-hnk/index.htmlQuote:
According to the patriarchate, Israel Defense Forces tanks also targeted the Convent of the Sisters of Mother Theresa, which houses 54 disabled people and is part of the church's compound. The building's generator, its only current source of electricity, as well as its fuel resources, solar panels and water tanks were also destroyed.
I'm in no way saying that Hamas are the good guys, and that Israel isn't justified in their attack, but the attitude that they can never be questioned is kind of a sickening response to stuff like this. Especially coming from Christians and fellow Catholics. Not much concern in this thread from y'all regarding our poor sisters in Christ who were attacked.
Now go ahead and call me an anti-semite for daring to question anything Israel does.
So a sniper shoots people. And everybody suddenly assumes the sniper is Israeli? Even though they have ZERO to gain and EVERYTHING to lose by doing so? Even though Hamas has ALREADY shot and blown up it's own citizens in attempt to score propaganda points? What makes you think that Hamas would bat an eye at shooting Catholics to achieve their goals?
How did the priest, who is already anti-Israel supposedly know this? Did the Israeli sniper stand up, show himself, wave, and say "Shalom!" after? Give me a break. You guys aren't thinking clearly.
Wanna know how I know didn't read the statement by the Patriarchate?
Absolute clown
And read GeographyAg's story. It exposes Pizzaballa as the fraud he is.
I wonder if I'll ever get bored of being right? So far I have not.

Christians taking refuge in churches has been reported throughout this conflict. A former US congressman with family who are Orthodox Christians living in the area has had several family members killed who were attempting to shelter in a church.
There were idiotic Americans who sided with Hilter in the 40s. Just freaking open your eyes. Hamas literally flew in and slaughtered innocent civilians in the most barbaric way possible. Then many of them denied it and tried to blame the IDF for it. Hamas is on video shooting and blowing up their own citizens. They and their supporters have been caught in lie after lie. Yet you guys still find a way to believe them even when the story is ridiculously outlandish.Quote:
Interesting though that the Christian community in the area doesn't seem to be fully on Israel's side. Sean Hannity told me Israel = always good Israel's enemies = always bad.

The mother and daughter were walking to the Sister's Convent, the patriarchate said, when gunfire erupted. "One was killed as she tried to carry the other to safety," it added.
Seven others were also shot and wounded in the attack at the complex, where most Gaza's Christian families have taken refuge since the start of the war, according to the patriarchate, which oversees Catholic Churches across Cyprus, Jordan, Israel, Gaza and the West Bank.
"No warning was given, no notification was provided," the statement continued. "They were shot in cold blood inside the premises of the parish, where there are no belligerents."https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/16/middleeast/idf-sniper-gaza-church-deaths-intl-hnk/index.htmlQuote:
According to the patriarchate, Israel Defense Forces tanks also targeted the Convent of the Sisters of Mother Theresa, which houses 54 disabled people and is part of the church's compound. The building's generator, its only current source of electricity, as well as its fuel resources, solar panels and water tanks were also destroyed.
I'm in no way saying that Hamas are the good guys, and that Israel isn't justified in their attack, but the attitude that they can never be questioned is kind of a sickening response to stuff like this. Especially coming from Christians and fellow Catholics. Not much concern in this thread from y'all regarding our poor sisters in Christ who were attacked.
Now go ahead and call me an anti-semite for daring to question anything Israel does.
So a sniper shoots people. And everybody suddenly assumes the sniper is Israeli? Even though they have ZERO to gain and EVERYTHING to lose by doing so? Even though Hamas has ALREADY shot and blown up it's own citizens in attempt to score propaganda points? What makes you think that Hamas would bat an eye at shooting Catholics to achieve their goals?
How did the priest, who is already anti-Israel supposedly know this? Did the Israeli sniper stand up, show himself, wave, and say "Shalom!" after? Give me a break. You guys aren't thinking clearly.
Wanna know how I know didn't read the statement by the Patriarchate?
Absolute clown
And read GeographyAg's story. It exposes Pizzaballa as the fraud he is.
I wonder if I'll ever get bored of being right? So far I have not.
"Pizzaballa is a fraud! Look even *checks notes* art critic Maureen Mullarkey agrees with me"!
Pizzaballa making this up? Blaming the IDF for this even though it was Hamas? What will you say if he's right?
Whether they are morons or lying is immaterial. I suspect the local priest who were there are lying and he is just a moron spouting his pre-conceived thoughts. But they could both be lying or both be morons. Not sure.
There is no way in hell they KNOW it was an Israeli sniper. The only responsible thing to do is say "these two people were killed by sniper fire, but we don't know the culprit." Since they are coming out and saying so implies deceit. Unless they were told so by Hamas, then they are morons.
If they thought there was a rocket launcher in the Church then that would make it an accident. You assume they did it on purpose, which would be completely idiotic.

Anti-semites like to do that...doubledog said:
This thread is a total bust. People have turned an accidental shooting (and it was not intentional) into some kind of religious debate. The goal, of the IDF, is not to kill civilians in Gaza, but to reduce Hamas to ashes. That will be difficult as long as Hamas uses human shields (Muslim and Christians) to protect themselves. To stop this slaughter Hamas must surrender now. After that we can morn the dead and search for real answers.

Quote:
When reviewing incidents that may have taken place in the vicinity of churches in Gaza, it was found that an incident took place during yesterday afternoon (Saturday) in another area in Gaza, near the Latin Church in the Shejayia area," an IDF spokesperson told Fox News Digital in a statement.
The statement continued, "An initial review suggests that IDF troops, who were operating against Hamas terrorists in the area, operated against a threat that they identified in the area of the church. The IDF is conducting a thorough review of the incident."

When it turns out the IDF did this, you'll further justify it. I have no doubt.
BTW, why didn't you provide a link to the Vatican news page?
I did, I put a link on the first page.
Here it is again

Also, how do you accidentally snipe an 80+ year old woman and her daughter? I guess you just figure if they're in a church and claim there is a rocket launcher there, they're open game?
The Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem was clearly their source. How did the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem confirm that? They catch the guy? Get the weapon? Do ballistics? Hell, that article doesn't even quote the IDF or even reference a spokesman. Compare that vagueness to this:Quote:
A statement released by the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem confirmed that an Israeli sniper murdered two Christian women inside the Holy Family Parish where the majority of Christian families have taken refuge since the start of the war.
Sounds like a flat denial to me.Quote:
The Israel Defense Forces refuted on Sunday a claim that it had targeted a Catholic parish in the Gaza Strip, after the Latin patriarch of Jerusalem asserted that an elderly Christian woman and her daughter had been shot and killed by an Israeli sniper on the grounds of the Holy Family Parish on Saturday.
Stressing that the IDF "does not target civilians, no matter their religion," the army told AFP that it had on Saturday been contacted by church representatives about an incident in the Holy Family Parish, but "no reports of a hit on the church, nor civilians being injured or killed, were raised."
"A review of the IDF's operational findings support this," it added. "The IDF takes claims regarding harm to sensitive sites with the utmost seriousness especially churches considering that Christian communities are a minority group in the Middle East."

Looks like they've issued a small statementQuote:
When reviewing incidents that may have taken place in the vicinity of churches in Gaza, it was found that an incident took place during yesterday afternoon (Saturday) in another area in Gaza, near the Latin Church in the Shejayia area," an IDF spokesperson told Fox News Digital in a statement.
The statement continued, "An initial review suggests that IDF troops, who were operating against Hamas terrorists in the area, operated against a threat that they identified in the area of the church. The IDF is conducting a thorough review of the incident."
We will see what they find
I'm sure they didn't do it intentionally. However I think their bar for trying to avoid civilian casualties is low. I mean, they shot 3 hostages that were waving a white flag, one even yelled "help" in Hebrew. Don't get me wrong, I don't think they did that intentionally at all. And I know mistakes happen in war, and tensions are high. But if they hadn't been hostages, and they had been actual civlians, I don't anyone would have ever known that incident happened except for the soldiers that shot them.aTmAg said:
You Hamas first crowd can't have it both ways. You can't basically call them genocidal maniacs who target innocent people for the hell of it and then assume the IDF is honest when reporting what happened.
If they have no problem murdering innocents, then they'd have no problem lying about it too. If killing innocents was their intent, then they would do it secretly as hell and deny being in the area altogether.
Either Hamas did it and is blaming Israel or it was an accident.
You have GOT to be smoking crack. They do more to avoid enemy civilian casualties than any war combatant in history. They created a corridor protecting Palestinian civilians against Hamas so that those civilians could get out. They actually CALL AHEAD before they bomb building so civilians can get out. It's Hamas that shoots them when they try to leave. We didn't do any of that for the axis powers during WW2. And even the former axis countries today consider Americans to be the good guys in that war.traxter said:I'm sure they didn't do it intentionally.

Also, Israelis (especially the right wing/setter types), don't give a crap if and Arab is Muslim or Christian. They might hate the Muslim arabs slightly more than the Christians, but Christians are harassed alongside the Muslims in Jerusalem. The only reason they care is to keep it to a minimum so as to make sure Christians from around the world keep sending them money.

But people like you only hold Israelis to the impossible standard of having zero civilian casualties because they're Jews.
Hell, you don't condemn Hamas/Islamic Jihad for blowing up their own people, for shooting their own people, or putting babies in ovens, but you lose your **** because a few civilians and hostages have been killed in a war.
You would really flip out if the Israels did the United States did in World War II, which is carpet bomb entire cities with high explosives, burn entire cities to the ground with heavy bomber napalm strikes, or using nuclear weapons on enemy cities.

Do you think killing somebody in self defense is equal to killing somebody for the hell of it?shack009 said:
It's WAR so it's ok that Hamas killed civilians too, right?
I actually think it's bad when either side kills civilians.
I condemn Hamas for murdering civilians and I condemn Israel for the same.
