Every night during war, Pope Francis called Gaza's only Catholic Church in 'singular expression of love'
Every evening at 8 p.m., Father Gabriel Romanelli of Holy Family Church in Gaza City prepared to receive a call from Vatican City. The calls from Pope Francis — checking in on how those huddled inside Gaza's lone Catholic Church were coping during the war — were ...

You don't know what #Hamas or #terrorism are, and you seem to be very out of touch with #humanity or you have a very narrow definition of who counts as human?

About 7 countries regard "Hamas" as a terror group. Most of humanity – including many people in those countries, including me – don't regard a doctor connected to Hamas as a terrorists.

It would not be valid to target an Israeli medic for being a member of #Likud (a direct descendant of the #Irgun and #Lehi #terrorist groups) or an #IDF reservist, or even a military medic, because all medics are forbidden as targets, regardless of political affiliation, and even if they are medics in the military.

There is actually nothing wrong with doctors being connected to Gaza government. Somewhere like #ShifaHospital was a government hospital. It's entirely normal and expected for doctors there to be connected to Hamas, that doesn't mean it's a terror facility, that means it's a goddamn public hospital. It was run in cooperation with the PA in Ramallah, but at times Fatah affiliates were discouraged from working there by #Abbas

#Hamas were severely over due for an election, but less over due than Abbas. When Hamas' Change and Reform list won the election, Israel (seemingly determined to maintain their status as the only country who are allowed to have a democracy in the Middle East) declared the entire electoral list a terrorist organization, which included at least one Christian. The Change and Reform Christian won the Christian reserved seat in #GazaCity on the Hamas list. Maybe Americans hate #Hamas for doing #DEI that favours #Christians ?

Also, for a bit of perspective on whether "member of ruling party" says much about a doctor's allegiance or character, Dr Li Wenliang – the infamous COVID whistle-blower – was a member of the #CPC (aka CCP) bbc.com/news/world-asia-559638 but strangely, despite claiming to be communist, China has even less public health care than most liberal countries, but that's also another story.

This professor once taught at Al-Azhar University in Gaza City. He returned to a campus in ruins
For the first time since the war began, Muhammad Juma Khattab returned to the campus to see what's left of it. In the piles of rubble, the professor finds burnt books, old transcripts and office furniture as he walks the spaces he used to teach in.

Hurting more people is worse

If Egypt prefer let people starve?

There are 2 million hostages in Gaza NOT just a few dozen Israelis.

If Israel genuinely wanted civilians to get out of the way, it was ISRAEL'S responsibility to accommodate them in ISRAEL.

But everyone can see pretty clearly that the real goal behind "destroy Hamas" is the total obliteration of Palestine.
