This supposedly happened a week ago, but there is only one source reporting it.

“ Local Christian sources told Aid to the Church in Need (ACN)…”

Maybe ACN is reliable, but maybe there’s more to this story than is reported here.

Lebanon, once a very nice little country, has permitted or abetted its take over by a very evil and aggressive Iranian terrorist militia.
which stores bombs in churches and mosques and UnitedNazis buildings and schools
and private homes

there will, most regrettably, almost certainly be more churches lost to the fighting as the IDF cleans out the terrorist threat

pray for the remaining Christians that have not already been killed by the Hezballah terrorists, as they are shooting more and more every day

the IDF dropped thousand thousands of leaflets advising any “innocent” people to clear the zone of hostilities. the IDF also sent text and email messages to hundreds of thousands of same to do likewise. And Prime Minister Netayahu got on the TV and internet to literally beg the good Lebanese people to take back their government now that the IDF is weakening the terrorist gangsters. This is the Lebanese people’s chance to have a country again, if they choose.

Praying for all the remaining good Lebanese (most of the most difficult work is being done for them by the IDF but they will need to step up and do the rest if they want a future there... they’ll get tons of help from Israel and the IDF if they do so, plus outside assistance on top of it all).
It is the Lebanese people’s choice (and obviously, last opportunity).

Praying for the good Lebanese people (and especially good Christians).

in these reports, they always hint that the evil Israelis are busy destroying all these innocent civilian sites.

What is never mentioned: If there are missile, bad guys, or munitions stored there or very close (e.g. in tunnels under the churches). Because if these things are stored in civilian areas, of course, this is a war crime by Hezbollah/Hamas/ISIS types.

Just like AlJezeerah always posts photos of wounded children after an attack, but never dead soldiers, and they show explosions as if the explosions were Israeli bombs, even when the fireball and smoke coming out suggest they hit a storage space for munitions.

"Our greatest ally"

With a comment like that, and a posted cherry-picked article designed to make Israel look bad, it's not too hard to figure out what you really think

And it's not nice

Israel has been using precision bombs in that area. If a rocket hit it, likely to be a Hezbollah misfire which are all too common.

No, Israel blowing up a Catholic church is what makes Israel look bad.

They are actually... I’d take Netanyahu over Biden or Harris anyday. If they hit a Catholic church in Lebanon it was probably a Hezbollah hide out or storing weapons.

As if that ever stops Israel from blowing up whatever the hell it wants. Excuses.

We bombed hundreds of churches into smoking rubble all over Europe in the 1940s. Did that make us the bad guys?

Just asking.

“No, Israel blowing up a Catholic church is what makes Israel look bad.”

Unless the “church” housed munitions.

It’s war, things get blown up, people die. All HezzyBola and HamAss and the NaziUN have to do is STOP attacking Israel and these incidents will stop happening.

Harris’ acceptance speech to the 2024 Democratic National Convention drew one of her most thunderous applause lines when “she called for an end” to the violence Israel is inflicting in Gaza and for the “long-denied” fulfillment of Palestinian rights to dignity, security, freedom and self-determination. This enthusiastic reception by tens of thousands of die-hard Democrats at the convention, was a faithful reflection of where the base of the party stands on Israel.


And now we hear that drjill Biden has been pressuring her husband on Israel’s war on Hamas, saying. “Stop it. Stop it now, Joe.” At a Ramadan event at the White House, Joe Biden reportedly told attendees about “Jill’s sophisticated geopolitical advice.”


Progressive agitator Michael Moore told Democrat Biden to stop “funding Israeli genocide.” Moore lacerated Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “How many times can Netanyahu flaunt your rules, ignore your advice, and spit in your face? He came to Our House, the People’s House, and spewed hate and violence.”


Senator Bernie Sanders criticized Biden’s approval of sending more weapons to Israel. “The US cannot beg Netanyahu to stop bombing civilians one day and the next send him thousands more 2,000 lb. bombs that can level entire city blocks. This is obscene,” Sanders said on X, sharing the report of Washington Post. “We must end our complicity: No more bombs to Israel,” Sanders reiterated.

The IDF Hamascide has suceeded to the point of near extinction.

What the world needs is a little Mooreicide.
