But, of course he does. What else would expect out of the Woke Pope?
Pope says conflict between Israel and Hamas has gone beyond war to ‘terrorism’
Pope Francis on Wednesday met separately with Israeli relatives of hostages held by Hamas and Palestinians with family in Gaza and said the conflict had gone beyond war to become “terrorism”.
Speaking in unscripted remarks at his Wednesday general audience in St. Peter’s Square shortly after the early morning meetings in his residence, Francis said he heard directly how “both sides are suffering” in the conflict.
“This is what wars do. But here we have gone beyond wars. This is not war. This is terrorism,” he said.
It was unnecessary for both sides to suffer. All Hamas had to do was not attack Israel and murder, rape, torture, and behead Jews, including women, babies, and grandmas. Hamas has attacked Jews numerous times, and typically goes for civilians. That’s terrorism. Hamas’ charter calls for killing Jews and erasing the nation of Israel. That is terrorism. Israel responding is not terrorism, but, this is the Woke Pope, and, rather than cooling things down, he’s taking the side of the Israel haters by equating Israel with Hamas. Those same Israel haters will use this pronouncement to further bash Israel and Jews.
The meetings and the pope’s comments came hours after Israel’s government and Hamas agreed to silence the guns in Gaza for at least four days, allow in aid and release at least 50 hostages captured by terrorists in exchange for at least 150 Palestinians jailed in Israel.
What will the Pope say when Hamas breaks the ceasefire?
(Fox News) Israel and Hamas have agreed to a temporary cease-fire for humanitarian purposes that includes a hostage release deal, Fox News has confirmed.
“The Israeli government is committed to the return of all hostages home. Tonight, the government approved the outline for the first stage of achieving this goal, according to which at least 50 hostages – women and children – will be released for 4 days, during which there will be a lull in the fighting,” the Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement.
“The release of every ten additional hostages will result in an additional day of respite. The Israeli government, the IDF and the security forces will continue the war in order to return all the hostages, to complete the elimination of Hamas and to ensure that Gaza does not renew any threat to the State of Israel.”
There are around 240 hostages held by Hamas, which is designated a terrorist organization by the U.S., EU, and UN. At least one won’t be coming home

The Arabs in Gaza and west bank will never forgive Israel and live in peace with them.
Israelis will never stop their campaign of insults and slights.
There is no two state solution. That is a fantasy of statesmen from the 70’s, back when the Arab population was 1/4 of what it is now.
Israel, like the USA, White Europe and Japan,. are in population decline. Demographically, they are going to lose this. It doesn’t matter how many Gazans they kill. Nor does it really mater how many Israelis the Gazans kill.
The rest of the world needs to just sit this one out and let them figure out for themselves how hard life is standing on their own.
The humanitarian option is to give the Israelis a homeland somewhere in those uninhabited Indian reservations in Oklahoma.
The USA should not be helping either side, and certainly not helping both sides at the same time. As we have learned in Ukraine, when the American piggy bank is finding things, the killing can go on much longer than necessary. If you keep either side from feeling the pain of war, the war continues.
“The USA should not be helping either side….”
Sometimes you do something because it’s just right.
I agree. But in this case, there is no “right”. It is a turd sandwich. Both sides want genocide. Go ahead and pick one. You lose either way. If you are really schizophrenic (like American foreign policy), you choose both. Sometimes I regret being the bad guys.
Really?
Both sides want genocide.
Now that’s one I haven’t heard before.
Got some proof?
I learned years ago that providing proof on the internet is futile. Believe me or don’t. I don’t really care about convincing you. I am right about this and that is good enough for me. If you want democratic party talking points, ask Jeff. If you want automotive industry trends, ask CPT Teach. If you want nonsensical rambling, ask H. If you want to know about war, you ask me. I have been studying and practicing it since the 70’s.
If you want pure bullshit, adulterated by arrogance, ask the Nutty Perfesser.
Professor
I thought you might have a view that would add something.
Sorry I asked.
By definition, giving you a view you haven’t heard before, “Adds something”. And since it comes from an expert in the field, it carries weight. I don’t need to quote other people or other sources because I am a recognized expert myself. I don’t claim to be an expert on Cars, global warming, immigration policy or ladies on boats wearing bikinis. I am an expert on war.
Professor
“I am an expert on war.”
“Both sides want genocide.”
Never met a war expert before.
Israel had a population of 3.5 million in 1975
Isreals population has now declined to 9 million 2023
better examples of USA financing protracted wars is Afghanistan or Vietnam
Citizens v United passed by a right wing Supreme Court gave corporations (like military contractors) the right to buy political favors Corporations own politicians.
The major financing of muslim terror organizations come from the muslim countries that export fossil fuels. or as Teach is like to say
YOUR FAULT
AS in any modern war (not in our beloved war movies) most of the people killed are non combatants. WW2 probably 15 million military deaths about 40 million civilian deaths. Any military would rather cause civilian casualties than risk their own. Gaza? just bomb the shit out of them. They are not really victims. Better to kill 5000 children rather than risk the deaths of 50 Israeli soldiers, After all it was all the fault of Hamas. They made us do it. We can build and profit from each bomb dropped. Gaza is half the size of Manhattan with the same population crammed into it.
First of all H Gaza is whatever Gaza is and whatever size it is we didn’t make it they did. OK?
Secondly, as a man who’s actually been in a war fought in 13 battles and was wounded three times and who also is very interested in into history the way to win a war is to kill as many civilians as possible. It’s always been that way we did not invent it. The 300 Spartans where they’re protecting their women and children got it? If you kill their women and children they surrender. If you need any more proof than Hiroshima or Nagasaki then you really are totally stupid once we started wiping out their cities and their children and their old people and their wives and their sisters and their children and their mothers and their fathers and their friends they surrendered.
Now we realize as a leftist you guys aren’t really too smart and you’re members of the low IQ crowd but just the tad of thought will bring you to the conclusion the best way to win is the blow up their homes and kill their families which means civilians. So get over it and get over the nonsense of the rules of war and all that kind of stupidity.
If the Israelis intend to win the war they should actually be targeting the civilians like the Muslims do. Muslims always target civilians. Or haven’t you noticed?
Just because we are a Christian nation which doesn’t like killing women and children to Elwood’s dismay because it reflects well on Christianity does not mean we need to allow ourselves to be wiped out because we refuse to kill women and children. you gotta do what you gotta do. This is especially true when you’re fighting house to house or you’re bombing cities. Kill everyone.
Over 58,000 Americans were killed in the failed Vietnam “war” “defending” the South from invasion from the North. Should the US have thoroughly bombed North Vietnam and then invading, killing nearly 20 million there including all the civilians?
Israel could kill all the Gazans – children, women and men – but becoming global pariahs. Would that action solve the problem? There are 0.5 BILLION Arabs and some 0.3 BILLION Muslims in the Middle East. How would they respond to a Palestinian genocide?
Again, the brutal attack by Hamas terrorists on Israelis deserves a brutal response directed at Hamas, not at children, women and men civilians.
We realize as a rightist you guys aren’t really too smart and you’re members of the low IQ crowd but just a tad of thought will bring you to the conclusion that the best way to win in the middle East is NOT to blow up their homes and kill their families which means civilians of Gaza. It’s silly and barbaric to think Israel can kill half a billion Arabs. No nation attacked Israel – it was a violent mob of terrorists.

Dear Chicken Little:
“. Should the US have thoroughly bombed North Vietnam and then invading, killing nearly 20 million there including all the civilians?
Do you want to grab a burger at Mickey D’s or a banquet???
Dear Cap’n Shit for Brains,
Stupid is as stupid does…
It is never “all right” to kill children.
Never
If you kill the women and children they never surrender. They have nothing to live for.
Most christianists believe that killing children is never allowed. They too are God’s children.
Gaza was created by the Israelis not by the Palestinians.
Ever kill any kids yourself Kye? How did you feel after?
Yes, Carbon-Israel gave them that land, but they didn’t have to. The Palestinians thanked them the only way they knew how-bombings and terrorism.
Guess what? If Hamas hadn’t done what they did on Oct. 7th, there’d be no dead children at all. Please follow along….
Bullshit, Jill. Israel did not “give” “them” that land. It was never Israel’s to give.
Is Israel had not invaded Gaza in 1967 there would be no dead Israeli children on Oct 7. Please follow along.
Might makes the far-right!!
We will play this deadly game forever. Lather, rinse, repeat.
We get it. You hate Muslims, especially light brown ones.
The pro war people are no longer saying ” we dont negotiate with terrorists” Well Trump did when he signed the treaty with the Taliban and released 5000 including the current leader of the Afghan government. Which by the way has enforced a total ban on poppy growing. Good thing for us we have a rock solid fenatyl supplier already lined up, Cheaper stronger. We don’t need Afghanistan anymore.
I wish I had said this
Guess what? If Hamas hadn’t done what they did on Oct. 7th, there’d be no dead children at all. Please follow along….
Well Trump did when he signed the treaty
So you blame Trump for what Hamas did.
Stupid is as stupid does.
Mr Teach: Woke Pope Calls Israelis Terrorists. But, of course he does. What else would expect out of the Woke Pope?
The titular head of the Catholic Church is an anti-Semite? Wouldn’t this condemn the entire Catholic faith as anti-Semitic??
Considering the Holy See’s “neutrality” on the Holocaust and the pedophile catastrophe, why is there still a Catholic Church??
Netanyahu is leaving quite a legacy for himself. He was ill-prepared for October 7th and has already given the enemy that did it a “pause”.
Never Again….until the next time!
Hey Pope, you no play a da game, you no make a da rules.
Goes for Joey and Rimjob, too.

Bwaha! Lolgf
Nice try, J, but Egypt, Jordan and Syria were preparing for war against Israel. Egyptian forces had gathered on the Israel border. Israel struck preemptively. Before this, Palestinians from Jordon and Syria were conducting terror attacks ( sound familiar?) against Israel, and Egypt had blockaded one of it’s ports. The land was won during the war-that’s what happens when you win a war. Not quite your “Israel invaded Gaza” BS when you know the back story
