Pope Francis denounces "cruelty" of Israeli strikes on Gaza civilians

ai generated text

Pope Francis has consistently condemned Israeli airstrikes in Gaza, describing them as "cruelty" and "not war". Specifically, he has criticized an Israeli airstrike that killed seven children from one family, labeling it as an act of "cruelty" in his Christmas address. However, Israel's Foreign Ministry has criticized the Pope's remarks, accusing him of showing double standards. In response, Pope Francis has doubled down on his condemnation of Israel's military actions in Gaza.

    1. Yesterday, children were bombed. This is cruelty, and it touches my heart.
    2. Yesterday, children were bombed. This is cruelty. This is not war. I wanted to say this because it touches the heart.
    3. Yesterday they did not allow the Patriarch (of Jerusalem) into Gaza as promised.

    1. Cruelty is terrorists hiding behind children while trying to murder Israeli children; cruelty is holding 100 hostages for 442 days, including a baby and children, by terrorists and abusing them.
    2. Unfortunately, the Pope has chosen to ignore all of this, as well as the fact that Israel's actions have targeted terrorists who used children as human shields. The pope's remarks are particularly disappointing as they are disconnected from the true and factual context of Israel's fight against jihadist terrorism -- a multi-front war that was forced upon it starting on October 7.
    3. Enough with the singling out of the Jewish state and its people.
