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.

0.0005 or .05 %

Among the more than two million inhabitants of the Gaza Strip, there is a tiny Christian community of about 1,000 people. It’s been in decline over the years, especially since the Islamist movement Hamas took control of Gaza in 2007. Like other Gazans, they suffer from the isolation and lack of freedom of Israel’s 16-year-long blockade. But the Christians also have to deal with being excluded from work and society, which is pushed by sectors linked to Hamas and other radical Islamists movements present in the area.

I was aware of the sins of Amash.
His clan is reaping Trump curse? But Justin sowed the seeds of TDS.
Terrible thing to reap that harvest.
And Justin undoubtedly would fail to see that the attack is the fault of the Biden Administration.

Yes; no blame put on Biden for his family’s peril.

... something else that I noticed
the Saint Porphyrius Orthodox Church is located in northern part of Gaza, within the area that Israel has advised non-combatants to leave.

I’ve had a really bad night. No really. I had a death in the family. I’m not okay and can’t type correctly.

Condolences, you are not alone.
