Can we agree on the facts?

1. There was Israeli bombing near the Church. Nobody was ever disputing that.

2. Church wasnt hit by the bomb.

3. Church is still standing.

Whoever is now claiming Church was hit/bombed/destroyed is the one lying, with clear multi party corroborated photographic/video evidence. You might argue Israel has no right to bomb Gaza, international law says otherwise. Geneva Convention Article 28 https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/ihl-treaties/gciv-1949/art... Treatment II. Danger zones

"The presence of a protected person may not be used to render certain points or areas immune from military operations."

https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/ihl-treaties/gciv-1949/art...

"Consequently, the presence of civilians must never be used to render immune from military operations objectives which are liable to be attacked."




Can you read this sentence out loud?

"The Israeli military said that a blast Thursday night on the St. Porphyrius Greek Orthodox Church campus in Gaza City was the result of its airstrike."

And if you still are not sure, I'd go to a doctor to get it checked out. Take care.


Sure: "blast ... on ... campus".

"a destructive wave of highly compressed air spreading outward from an explosion."

What kind of post truth are we living in when you can calmly believe in a building being bombed when that building is still standing the next day and there is footage of a bomb striking two buildings away?

"News" media isnt helping by spreading lies like NBCs "collapse of Gaza’s oldest church" immediat repost from Hamas sources without any verification https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp-video/mmvo196026949728


It's a really strange post truth world when it gets reported that Israel bombed a church, Israel confirms it bombed a church, and yet some people refuse to believe it. If I was a sociologist I'd be excited about the possibilities to do research on the root cause of this. Maybe a mismatch in perceived and actual intelligence?
