My first thought too.

[@SpotterVideo]

Go to Gaza City and spend some time with Christian Brothers and Sisters in Christ, if you want to understand what it means to be threatened. Why were two unarmed Christian women shot by Israeli snipers while going to the toilet at their church in Gaza? Why were Christians killed while they were taking shelter at their 800-year-old church in Gaza City, when an IDF bomb hit beside their church? How many of their homes have been turned to rubble? How would you feel if armed drones were constantly flying overhead, while you are without food? Why was Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu-Akieh shot by the IDF before October 7th? These people were not killed by Hamas. Why have these people been ignored by most Christians in the U.S.? Are the Christians being killed in Gaza “Semites”? ...

[@erroneous6947]

I blame it on misguided support for Israel by conservative Christian’s who are blind to the reality of things. For instance they aren’t aware of the USS Liberty. Or how Christian’s will be spit on in Israel. In reality Muslims accept Christ more than Jews do.

[@josephr4761]

Blame the media. Most people don't do any independent research and just believe whatever a source they trust tells them.

This is really shoddy reporting. Why not give the quotes from the defense minister - what he actually said (translated) - rather than this lame paraphrase. Give some context. Give Netanyahu’s response in context as well. Israeli journalists report this as a major rift. It just seems like these media orgs intentionally want to keep Americans in the dark about what’s really happening.

Sorry to burst your clueless bubble,but the land in question was not stolen from Palestinians in 1948& given to Jews. It was Given BACK to the Jews.. So go protest how the Muslims are taking over and colonizing other countries like Britain, Ireland,and soon America if joe has his way

[@zigzag321go]

I am a Jew. It's crazy how much anti-Semitism I've seen masquerading as pro-palestinian comments. I have seen a lot of good pro-palestine stuff as well, I actually participated in a pro-palestine rally because I support their cause as well. Neither Israel nor Gaza nor their people has deserved the consequences of their government's actions. Neither side is bad or evil or in the wrong. The true villans are the ones on top. Hamas needs to go. Netenyahu needed to go 20 years ago. They are the causes of this conflict, and they are the reasons this conflict is so brutal and inhumane. As long as either side survives, Israel will never be at peace.
