You would think common sense would eventually take hold of Pope Francis, but it hasn’t. Israel is a civilized country. They don’t shoot down children. However, Hamas uses women and children as shields.
Whoever Pope Francis gets his information from, is misinforming him.
“Let us pray for a ceasefire on all war fronts, in Ukraine, the Holy Land, in all the Middle East and the entire world, at Christmas,” the pontiff said in his weekly Angelus address Sunday. “And with sorrow I think of Gaza, of so much cruelty; of the children machine-gunned, the bombing of schools and hospitals… So much cruelty!”
The pope also called out ongoing attacks on “tormented Ukraine” that at times damage schools, hospitals, and churches.
“Yesterday, children were bombed. This is cruelty. This is not warfare,” Francis said. “I want to say this because it moves the heart.”
Saying he wants the killing to stop is what he should say, but attacking Israel and ignoring the bombings and terror by Hamas terrorists is unfathomable. As a Catholic, I would love to see him retire.

13,000 children murdered – sounds civilized to anyone reading this web site
do civilized people bomb hospitals and schools? bulldoze orchards and homes and move themselves in on their newly occupied land then ask why we can’t be friends? sounds civilized if you’re a troglodyte
Israel doesn’t shoot children? since when. Israel is civilized country? since when? Israel is a rogue nuclear state currently engaged in genocide – at least the israel on planet earth – not sure where you live
As far as I know, Israel is doing just that. And raping whatever women they want with the Governments blessing. Why do you think there are warrants out by the World Court for their arrests? Have I.Q.’s suddenly dropped here?
We know you work for hamas
the pope is a lunatic
Bibi is a humanitarian heading a rogue nuclear state at the center of a 100 year old national colonial project
