Pope Leo Mourns Father Pierre El-Rahi Killed By Israel by TruthU87(op): 9:06pm On Mar 11

The funeral of Father Pierre El-Rahi, Maronite parish priest of a Christian village, is celebrated today in #Lebanon, as these villages once again experience the tragedy of war. I am close to all the Lebanese people in this time of grave trial. Fr. Pierre was a true shepherd. As soon as he heard that parishioners had been wounded in a bombing, he rushed to help without hesitation. May the Lord grant that the blood he shed become a seed of peace for beloved Lebanon. #PrayTogether

It's funny how Christians are supporting Israel and Muslims supporting Iran... Thinking religion is anywhere part of the reason the war is going on.

Now that Israel has killed a Shepherd,can we now stop going about the war like it's religious war.
War is never a good thing so all we can do is pray for it's end ASAP.
RIP Goodman.

only one of the missiles landed and I'm sure it landed in an open area. But every IDF drop will hit target and they will come back and cry

He wasn’t killed by Israel but by those Islamic terrorists called Hezbollah. Father Pierre was effectively used as a human shield because Hezbollah hid their weapons—rockets and missiles—beneath his residential building. The blame for his painful death lies squarely with Hezbollah, not Israel.

Yet the pathetically ignorant Jewish wannabes still think that Lebanon is a Muslim country. They don't even know that 40% of Lebanon's population are Christians. And that there are large christian communities in lran, lraq, Syria and Jordan. Even 5% of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Gaza are Christians. Just last Xmas, the Catholic Patriach of Jerusalem, Cardinal Pizzaballa spent Xmas in Gaza and led Xmas mass at the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza, which was bombed by lsrael

Hezbollah doesn't hear word and they will definitely get the gaza treatment. The good priest should stay away from war sites. its a dangerous place and nobody knows who is who during war time.

And the ignoramuses will think that Lebanon is a Muslim country

They harbour terrorist and they all know it. just like bokoharam and bandits are freely operating in the North undecided

it's not about religion it's about terrorism. Saudi Kuwait, UAE are all Muslims but Israel isn't attacking them. U are the one along with the Terrorist sympathisers that are making it religious.

Because they don't know themselves so the only identity they have is religion. They threw away everything about who they really are in their culture. What do you expect them to do? Their identity is only in religion so they will take sides.
