Roboto11:
JERUSALEM — The historic Church of St. Porphyrius, Gaza’s oldest active church, was struck Thursday as it sheltered hundreds of Palestinians displaced by the war, according to religious officials.

At least 16 Christians were killed in the bombing and unknown number injured, the Gaza-based Palestinian Ministry of Health said Friday.

....

The Church of St. Porphyrius’s original structure dates to the 5th century, and the current structure was built in the 12th century. Located in a historic quarter of the city, it is named after a former bishop of Gaza, Saint Porphyrius, and placed where he is believed to have died in A.D. 420.

The at least 16 Christians are the terrorists according to Righteousness 2

babajero:
Because Islamic terrorists are holding them hostage in the church and launching rockets from their location. Islam is Evil.

The evil Hamas preserved the Church all through its rule, but the righteous israel bombed it, destroying it

Many of you are psychiatric patients

drlateef:
Any Christian supporting Isreal is big fool to be honest. With all due respect. How can God’s chosen people be killing innocent children and women? Don’t you have rules of war in bible? How can God’s chosen people be so wicked? Obviously they are not chosen by God now. Yes in the past they were favoured and had many successes and prophets from among them. But not anymore because they have become transgressors and disobedient to God. You need to edit your bible. Wicked people cannot be chosen by God.

My point exactly

What kind of God will support people like that

Righteousness2:
Did you read the report of what you posted?
How does " a building adjacent to the Church " become the Church

Quit the Fake news!
I have direct contacts on ground.
The church in Gaza is standing
The house where terrorists hid themselves is down!.

The Church was bombed, it also led to the collapse of a building adjacent to the Church which is actually a campus of the Church that was sheltering hundreds of civilians

Even with the Wall Street Journal's pro-israel bias, they still couldn't hide it

Righteousness2:
Another fake news from terrorists and their sympsthizers

The church in Gaza is standing
The house where terrorists hid themselves is down!
Stop believing the lies of those Nazis!
The hospital case should’ve been enough for you to finally understand the cynical usage of innocent people to advance their cause on the expense of life and truth!

The Wall Street Journal are Hamas too I guess

An Israeli air attack has killed and injured a “large number” of displaced people sheltering at a church compound in Gaza, according to the besieged Palestinian enclave’s interior ministry.

The strike left a “large number of martyrs and injured” at the compound of the Greek Orthodox Saint Porphyrius Church in Gaza City, the ministry said on Thursday night.

Gaza’s Hamas-run government media office reported on Friday that 18 Christian Palestinians were among the dead.

Witnesses told the AFP news agency the air raid appeared to have been aimed at a target close to the 12th-century place of worship where many
Christian and Muslim Gaza residents had taken refuge as the war raged in the enclave.

The Israeli military told AFP that its fighter jets had hit a command and control centre involved in launching rockets and mortars towards Israel.
“As a result of the IDF [Israeli army] strike, a wall of a church in the area was damaged,” it said, adding “we are aware of reports on casualties. The incident is under review.”

Witnesses said the attack damaged the facade of the church and caused an adjacent building to collapse, adding that many injured people were evacuated to hospital.

Saint Porphyrius, built in about 1150, is the oldest church still in use in Gaza. Located in an historic neighbourhood of Gaza City, the church offered sanctuary to people of various faiths over generations.

The Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem expressed its “strongest condemnation” of the strike.

“Targeting churches and their institutions, along with the shelters they provide to protect innocent citizens, especially children and women who have lost their homes due to Israeli airstrikes on residential areas over the past 13 days, constitutes a war crime that cannot be ignored,” the patriarchate said in a statement.

Explaining the damage done to the church, the Israeli military claimed: “Hamas intentionally embeds its assets in civilian areas and uses the residents of the Gaza Strip as human shields.”
Gaza has been hit by a relentless barrage of Israeli fire following an attack by Hamas fighters on October 7, which Israel says killed at least 1,400 people, most of them civilians.

Israel’s campaign since has killed at least 3,785 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, most of them civilians, according to the Hamas health ministry.

AntiTerrorist:
What is Hamas islamic jihad terrorists gaining from the ongoing war between Gaza strip and Israel? What do they want to achieve?

They're shaming the world and exposing the hypocrisy of many

Despite how weak they are compared to israel, they're standing up to them, demanding basic human rights

They also exposed the lie of israel's army's invincibility

It's telling that despite all atrocities committed against them, Palestinians still support the resistance

By the way, israel just bombed one of the oldest churches in the world, the Greek Orthodox church in Gaza, killing many Christians seeking refuge there

Why is Seun not dealing with terrorists and terrorists sympathizers on Nairaland? Is it okay to support a genocidal terrorist organization like Hamas, Hezebollah and ISIS?

Your angelic israel just bombed a Church in Gaza yesterday

Several Christians seeking refuge there were killed

WrriterNig:
⚡European Intelligence Officials have stated that they so far have only seen Evidence which suggests that 10-50 Palestinians were Killed by the Explosion at Al-Ahli Arab Baptist Hospital in Northern Gaza not the 500-800 which was being claimed by Palestinian Authorities.

israeli politicians:

"we warned them to evacuate"

The idf:

"It was an Islamic Jihad misfired rocket"

Joe Biden:

"the other team did it"

European intelligence officials:

"Based on observed evidence, between 10 - 50 people were killed"


All this just to cover for war crimes

Only shameless people excuse war crimes

It's like America knows it has lost the Ukraine war, so they want to use this israel own as compensation. Same goes for it's lackey European allies

That explains the deployment of several aircraft carriers and a standby force

Regardless of whatever posturing, it's clear the U.S is a power in decline

⚡A Rocket launched from the Gaza Strip has Impacted a Construction Site in the Town of Shaqib al-Salam in Southern Israel; so far there appears to be No Casualties.

look at the rubbish impact of Hamas rockets, highest it can kill is about three people and some shameless idiots want to say israel didn't bomb the hospital

Instead of all these psyops rubbish

Russia has said israel should release satellite images of the attack...as simple as ABC

You clearly have no shame

greggng:
If isreal will bomb tire ..that means the other people go die tire. One thing is certain ...if you cross isreaks line you go receive woto woto .

Stay tuned, we've not gotten to the best part yet

Jeyun:
u don dey make mouth now wen the bombing go start now u go start to dey call USA fbi HIV NEPA international community be posting pictures of children and women, e no go work this time una must collect in full terrorist.

OGA I actually like the foreseeable outcome of all this

For a long time, Muslims have been docile and the signs show they're waking up

Make israel continue, dem go bomb tire

Strafudeen:
Useless terrorist f**ls.

After Israel is done , when next the Palestinians hear HA...they wouldn't wait to hear the ...MAS, before running away.

Hamas will regret the 7th of October move.

You think everyone is nigeria that tolerates nonsense.

Israel will so extract their revenge, that even satan would start to pity Gaza.
The ground offensive is just a ruse to make it look like they're playing by international rules.
For israel at this point rules don't apply. You kill kids? You Face the music.

I'm so happy.

Useless terrorists should be crushed to powder.

Hezbollah should please join let me check something.

I swear this is just the beginning. Israel will use this opportunity to wipe out everything possible.

Useless iran can shove it.

Again, I'm very happy.

Kai your kind are stupid

This is a 70+yr old issue and you think Palestinians don't know israelis more than you that occasionally watches from afar

Israel fought Hezbullah at a time when they weren't occupied with Gaza and it ended in a stalemate and you're here daring them

If Israel likes let them use up all their bombs on Gaza, israel will NEVER have peace, the Middle East people can't be scared by mindless bombings. The U.S did it in Iraq, israel has done it several times in Gaza, Afghanistan as well

One thing is certain, several generations have passed since the 1940s and 60s when America and israel thought themselves invincible, if israel continues like this and sparks a regional war, it'll be the end of American might in the region and israel will lose it's protection

You think it's video game? Dey play

Continue sef, you're in Nigeria, your stance is being observed, when yawa shele, na una go collect, israel won't save you

Badassniggga:
lol Sadly we have them in billions scattered around the globe that believes such .

Someone called Netanyahu Satan earlier on in this thread and I think I'd have to agree with that person now.

smh

⚡Israeli prime minister Netanyahu:

"The whole world knows: The barbarian terrorists in Gaza are the ones who attacked the hospital in Gaza, not the IDF. He who brutally murdered our children, also murders his children"

How can anyone believe that people like this are chosen by God?

WriteerNig:
⚡Failed Islamic Jihad rocket caused the deadly explosion at the Gaza hospital, says IDF.

From picture evidence of the damage of Hamas' rockets on israeli targets, their rockets can't do that much damage

Worse still Islamic Jihad that don't have the weaponry of Hamas

At first israel said they had forewarned the hospital to evacuate, basically admitting to being behind it. Now they want to deny responsibility

The time will come when israel and it's backers will face their enemies' onslaught, they'll be paid back in full

⚡The Border between Belgium and France has been placed on “High Alert” and additional Police have been Deployed in order to Intercept the Brussels ISIS Shooter if he attempt to Flee the Country.

It's interesting that when U.S focus was on Russia and China, we stopped seeing news of attacks by men screaming "Allahu Akbar".......now the focus of the U.S is back in the middle east and 'Allahu Akbar' attackers have resurfaced

False flags and propaganda to sway public opinion

Samantha124:
I thought I should open a thread on how to identify SA tribes by their dance moves just so that you don't have to assume that every SA traditional dance you see it's Zulu dance... .. Because most of y'all only know about the Zulus.

1. I'll start with Zulu, so you guys can check and compare... .. Zulu dance involves a lot of high kicks and sometimes they'd even throw themselves on the floor, if you can do high kicks, then learning the Zulu dance shouldn't be difficult... It's more like traditional aerobics.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HT7csqqsCc?si=rsqqsDzTc7OVPKHj

2. Swati.. Their dance moves are more laid back and reserved, the ladies would usually dance holding large knives and shields while the men would dance holding Spears and shields.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiUCOU0g2eA?si=L6OXYh5fuDBHm7zY

3. Basotho... With Sotho people, they mainly focus on moving their shoulders when dancing.. .. Sothos in the house, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong... Their ladies would sometimes dance while on their knees and their men would be holding long sticks.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ckW5pOAjRE?si=Vvmnw3-2RpvPxFAD

4. Xhosa... Their dance moves involve a lot of stomping on the floor/ground barefoot.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fc1gL9l1uP8?si=Q-FVPaWeiQPofuTf

5. Tsonga... With Tsonga dance, one has to move the waist a lot and with the ladies, they have to shake that xhibelani( traditional Tsonga skirt), apparently you're a Tsonga by mistake if you can't move your waist... .. Sho Modjozi's Tsonga traditional music dance would make a great example for this one.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jkXL_TMEig?si=UTwOdq_HHTiQoz5T

6. Batswana... I don't care what others may think, but Batswana are the best South African traditional dancers in my opinion... When they dance, they usually bend over a bit, make use of their hands a lot( especially with the ladies), make facial expressions, and stomp the floor with their creative dance steps... It's like their dance moves always have a story to tell.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=va06tKKKNd8?si=W9wIPi3GDVe5ngmk

7. Sepedi tribe... With us the Pedis, we're all over the place... .. we do a lot of kicking, back and forth, going left and right, up and down, and running around ( if necessary) .. Sometimes we would lift our hands into the air like we're praying.. Our dance moves are like the contemporary dance done in a quicker pace... Sometimes we would dance in a slower and reserved pace, you just can't predict us...

8. Ndebele tribe... I'm not gonna lie, I don't know much about the Ndebele tribe, but their dance moves seem like a combination of the Swati and Zulu dance because their ladies' dance moves are more reserved like the Swatis while the men's dance moves involve some high kicks like the Zulus... They love blowing whistles too, I just remembered from the time I used to watch traditional music shows with my grandparents...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2fGk2dmMs8?si=_9-_A2eyyuCD3pjd

9. Last but not least, the Venda tribe... The Venda dance involves a lot of jumping up and down and it seems like their dance moves are a bit aggressive, but not in a bad way.

My apologies to the Khoisan people in case they come across this thread, for I couldn't find any videos of their dance moves.

What about ipob armed resistance under international law??

You can't hate ipob and love hamas

It depends, can Igboland be considered an occupied territory under international law?

If so, then yes...if not, then no

I don't hate ipob

Ozommadu:
All Muslims support hamas but don't want the world to see their religious bigotry...never

Hamas are terrorist head slammers

You think only Muslims support Palestinian resistance?

Do you even know that armed resistance is a right of Palestinians under international law?

WriterrNig:
This hit me.

Nationhood on another people's land?

The same Jews are usurping the remaining Palestinian lands to increase their territory

Judaism isn't a race, it's a religion. Today's Jews are already nationals of various countries

It's like saying that white American Muslims don't have a Nation unless they relocate to a Muslim majority country

Vl3ly:
go and read sheriul Hadith (mean)
Note
Constantinople was stated in the Hadith not turkey
It was conquer from roman empire

According to you: turkey Muslim country would be conquer by another Muslim nation?

I quoted the one of fighting the jews

Vl3ly:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar (R.A.) :

ALLAH's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "You (i.e. Muslims) will fight with the Jews until some of them will hide behind stones. The stones will (betray them) saying, 'O `Abdullah (i.e. slave of ALLAH) ! There is a Jew hiding behind me; so kill him.'"

[ Sahih al-Bukhari 2925, 2926 ]

This Hadith is after Isa (alaihis Salam) comes back and defeats the Dajjal, it's not in this battle

Put the right context, so no one ignorantly mocks us

Some of you think is it easy to fund the war in ukraine and israel at thesame time.

Incase you dont know the u.s can deploy soldiers within few minutes ( the only military in the world that can try this)

Ask russia they will tell you it is not easy to do this

If indeed this results into a major war involving israel, Ukraine will take a backseat

Most of the funding to the U.S' defence sector is to maintain its bases around the world and not to boost it's capabilities...this is one of the main reasons Russia's military hardware bests U.S hardware

Allthelight:
on country in the world can fight the u.s...

Even putin once said only a mad man in his dream can try it

Do you know what goes into waging a war? Especially a major and multi-pronged war that is current shaping up in the Middle East?

The U.S economy is currently not in the best shape for that. The Ukraine war has exacted a toll on the U.S economy

Just over a week ago, the U.S government almost shut down over its debt ceiling

Do you even think that those that have fought and killed U.S forces several times are even remotely scared of them?

China and Russia are waiting in the wings for the U.S to be sucked in to it's detriment

Allthelight:
Is it the iraq war that ended in days ?

Or the Afghanistan they invaded within few days ?

The u.s have hundreds of thousands of military bases it is stupid saying you can win because you can destroy a few

If the entire region descends into war because of Israel, the U.S won't have bases there anymore except in maybe what's left of israel

Allthelight:
Is it the iraq war that ended in days ?

Or the Afghanistan they invaded within few days ?

Did the Iraq war end with Saddam's removal?

After 20yrs, the Taliban they removed is back in power and regained power before they even evacuated the country
