A “large number” of displaced people sheltering at a church compound in Gaza have been killed in an Israeli air attack, the Palestinian interior ministry says.
At least 18 displaced Palestinians sheltering at the Greek Orthodox Saint Porphyrius Church in Gaza City were killed Thursday night, the Palestinian health ministry said on Friday.
Built in about 1150, the church is the oldest still in use in Gaza. Located in an historic neighborhood of Gaza City, it offered sanctuary to people of various faiths over generations.
Many Christian and Muslim Gaza residents had taken refuge at the 12th-century place of worship when it was attacked.
The Israeli military claimed that its warplanes targeted a command and control centre involved in launching rockets and mortars towards Israel, but as a result of the strike, a wall of a church in the area was damaged.
“Targeting churches and their institutions, along with the shelters they provide to protect innocent citizens, especially children and women who have lost their homes due to Israeli airstrikes on residential areas over the past 13 days, constitutes a war crime that cannot be ignored,” the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of al-Quds said.
Palestinians Christians and Muslims in Gaza have fled to churches and church-run institutions in recent days, including Saint Porphyrius, to seek shelter from Israel’s bombing campaign.
The Greek Orthodox church is thought to be the third oldest church in the world. A church was first built on the site in 425 CE, though the current building was constructed in the 12th century.
Ramzi Khoury, head of the Higher Committee for Church Affairs in Palestine, said the bombing indicated Israel’s “intentions to annihilate the Palestinian people”.
“Targeting places of worship constitutes a war crime, and international law makes it clear that houses of worship may under no circumstances be subjected to attacks,” he said in a statement.
On Tuesday, an Israeli airstrike on al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza killed nearly 500 Palestinians, triggering global outrage at the slaughter of people, many of whom were taking shelter from nearly two weeks of ruthless Israeli bombing of the besieged enclave.
In Britain the churches are closed and become mosques or Community Centres because there are no more Christians. In Rome, people admired the new churches, but the buildings were left-overs from the “pagan” era, which we have re-entered with Science, people’s preferred authority. It is not wholly a bad thing, and all the mosques are a problem, spreading their illusions about a Creator
Contrast this abhorrent crime against how Jews wail and whine if someone puts a swastika on their graveyards, even if this someone happens to be themselves.
Jews hate other people’s spiritual and historical achievements which they can not equal hence the wanton destruction by these human scum brats. Remember how they destroyed the ancient relics of Iraq? With sledge hammers they smashed those the couldnt carry.
If there were no mongrels (jews,arabs,mulattoes, mestizos etc) on the planet, there would be no problems. You would have peace, order & civilization in the West (more or less). For we can see who the source of all this sociological chaos is- Semites/mongrels (Jews). They’re the ones starting these wars, importing millions of simians & mongrels (Africans/Asians/Latin Americans) into white regions & producing cultural trash. Another thing you’ll notice– after these worthless white females mate with simian blacks or some other pithecoid scum– when their mixed progeny grows up they all become criminals or involved in anti-white sociopolitical movements. You didn’t want to listen to Hitler, so this is the world of scum you get.
kaftan good comment
dont forget Carl Jones or Danny Cohen to give him his real name is a daft c * nt
It doesn’t matter if it’s “christians” (last time I checked “christians” were OK with war…what a freaking joke…who would Jesus bomb?)…or MOOSE-loims, or the father of them all, the violent nauseating nightmare called Judaism (including the old testament)… they’re all abrahamic garbage and written down by the same inbred desert-dwelling retard clan…And… the belief therein (belief in the ludicrous idea of authority – YOU are the authority and you have a conscience ..most do at least)…this belief is currently destroying all that was good (there wasn’t much in this materialistic world).
They were designed to fight each other… the real crucifixion happened a couple days ago, the real crucifixion is the murdering of the tortured folks inside the false churches.
“kaftan good comment“, seconded.
jew hypocrisy is essential code in their DNA
“Woe to you, scribes, PHARISEES, HYPOCRITES!“, as Jesus said so powerfully, since the word “jew” was only invented in 18th century, the warning can be amended to “Woe to you, JEWS!” (b/c hellfire awaits but no jew believes that karma can so antisemitic).
Whenever a jew whines and whimpers about his butthurt victimhood, automatically recall the Polish proverb “Jew cries out in pain as he strikes you“, meaning that when he is ✡️kvetching✡️, you can be sure he is in process of committing some abominable deed against the goyim.
we have has stupid trolls on here before
so not worry about carl jones
no doubt, he will soon slink off like a shittarse in the night
