This is the church Pope Francis called regularly to check on the people there. So sad, and also infuriating.

Couple of sources:

By the way, they also bombed a Catholic Church in Lebanon back in October. The Israel regime loves bombing Catholic churches, I guess.

Does Netanyahu and his right-wing genocidal government have a plan to occupy Syria and force all Palestinians to move there or be executed? Their current actions seem to be aimed at destabilizing a government still in its infancy.

Netanyahu’s goal has long been to remove every Palestinian from Palestine and take all the land for Israel.

With the EU's vote NOT to sanction Israel for human rights violations, there are no guardrails left.

And now... Syria, Lebanon, Iran Part II, Concentratiom Camp etc. The sky's the limit.

I hate to say it, but you ain't seen nothin' yet.
