Because Israel warned them of attack and gave them plenty of notice to pack up and get out.
If they don't like the consequences, then it's on them. Talk to their muslim compatriots who sneak attacked Israel in the first place.
What do you expect? Israel would just take it and roll over and expose their jugular?
The muslims should have expected retaliation and not even needed the warning Israel so graciously and courteously gave them in the first place. Israel went above and beyond in that regard.
Christians are always ready to sacrifice their own life for the gospel. Or at least we should be. That doesn’t mean we walk into a war, but that doesn’t mean we run and hide either. Jesus hid Himself many times because it was not time. Reading these accounts is weird, like He could disappear in a crowd.
When it was time for Him to give up His life, He prayed like I have never and He went.
All Christians wrestle with this, as did Paul.. to live is Christ to die is gain.
If these Christians wanted to stay in Gaza, it was their choice. Hiding in a church is reasonable, to die there with other brothers and sisters sounds great. I could see where the rest of the family is angry snd vengeful, because they won’t understand until they are truly serving Jesus as Lord.
Sorry Amash, but your relatives had been told over a week ago to get out of the area. Israel gave warning, they didnt start the war but humanely gave warning in hopes civilians would be wise enough to leave for safety. God will judge who obediently followed His plan for each of them, and who just did as they themself choose.
According to a Greek news article I read, the number of Christians in Gaza has declined from over 7,000 in 2007 when Hamas took over to less than 1,000 today.
There’s always someone arguing about something.
The apologist position held by so many for Muslims and Islam starting with the pope says volumes
When an Islamist commits a mass shooting and says he did it for allah, the authorities and media scream impossible Islam is a religion of peace it must be something else, mental illness, Trump, white supremacist…..
The history of Muhammad and islam, as well as what is in the koran is not hard to find and yet…..
Moral: Being a Christian in Gaza is stupid
They don’t care. It’s a combination of racism and idolatry for the state of Israel. Palestinians aren’t real Christians to them because they somehow are blocking the way to the second coming.
Gaza is a war zone. The best course for any innocent bystanders is get out any way they can.
I ran the first primary against him before he tweeted against Trump. Justins family are great people. He father is amazing. Justin is pompous and arrogant but nobody deserves this. My heart goes out to his family.
Now pick up a rifle and fight for Israel!!
Hamas needs to be put on trial, isn’t churches off limits to bombing according to the Geneva Convention?
Hey Justin, they were warned to leave. I guess they didn’t. Why didn’t Justin arrange for them to leave?
It’s WAR!
YOU started it!
You pays your money and you takes your chances.
Collateral damage is a FACT OF WAR.
This is WAR!
It is time to wipe ALL terrorists (AND those that support them) from the face of the earth!
WHY would a Christian be in Gaza? FOOLS!
“I know this may come as a complete surprise to a lot of you but there are actually Christians in Gaza, have been for about 2000 years now.”
And this may come as complete shock to you, but....
since when have Christians been exempt or protected from the effects of war? Quite the opposite has been the case, in fact. What makes “this” different “this” time?
Why do you seem to think that ‘these Christians’ should be special enough to not have to deal with the disastrous effects of war, despite the fact that they have apparently chosen to be right in the big fat thick & middle of the most heated (due to hatred of the Jews) and ongoing war on planet earth?
I don’t think we have the technology yet, to design a bomb to discriminate between Christians and Non-Christians.
“I don’t think we have the technology yet, to design a bomb to discriminate between Christians and Non-Christians.”
Not yet. But once the AC shows his ugly puss, all bets are off. Supernatural things will really get rolling then.
Sorry to hear that. Condolences and prayers.
Pharasie.
I care deeply about the true devoted Born Again Christians in Gaza, and I should pray for all in Gaza, and I will
That doesn’t change the fact of what Israel must do.
