> Even the Pope called them terrorists.

Pope referred to specific case of two women got killed during firefight allegedly by IDF sniper.

There is no clear evidence that they were killed by IDF, only Palestinian priest words.

It is not the words of one "priest", but of all the Catholics in the compound. And I love how you appended "Palestinian" to try to discredit him, as if a Palestinian's word is not worth much, but the word of the IDF, who have been caught lying through their teeth about almost everything that has happened on and since 7/10 is. And you are wrong. The compound hosts more than just Palestinian Christians. Catholics from around the world serve in Gaza.

And how is that justified? The murder of two old women in a Catholic church compound, by a sniper no less. And one of them was murdered while trying to retrieve the body of her mother.

> It is not the words of one "priest", but of all the Catholics in the compound

evidence on the record is only priest words in interview. I highly doubt if they were killed by actual sniper, anyone in compound had ability to identify which sniper it was.

> if a Palestinian's word is not worth much, but the word of the IDF

It indicates that that person is biased with high probability, and his words should not be taken into account without hard evidence. Strong judgement and manipulation without any hard evidence in this case is very good proof of that.

Please don't cross into flamewar. I know it's not easy, but it's necessary to try.

Just as there was no clear evidence that Shireen Abu Akleh was killed by israeli snipers before they admitted it many months down the line? There are countless videos and accounts of unarmed old men and young boys being sniped by them.

yes, civilians are killed when caught on the middle of firefights, often it is hard to identify who killed them.

In what's happening today, it's not hard to identify who is killing tens of thousands of civilians indiscriminately.

and who uses them as cannon fodder.

Please stop posting flamewar comments. You've done as much of that, maybe more, than any other single user in this thread. That's not ok.

I realize it's hard to discuss this topic without falling into that, but if you can't avoid it, please stop posting until you can. That goes for everyone else as well, of course.
