    Please provide evidence where I said that.

    I provided you evidence that proved you were wrong about your claim that it is a minority of Christians who believe the Bible is the word of God, but you've chosen to ignore it.

      I'm always amazed that "When someone shows you who they are, believe them" is dismissed when it comes to Islamists and the motivations for their actions.

      Agree completely. I always recommend Sam Harris for spelling things out on the matter when it comes to claims of moral equivalence re: Israel/Hamas or doing the 'but what about' stuff as if Christianity in the 21st century is remotely as troublesome or dangerous.

        As I said if the IDF wanted to eradicate HAMAS and the other nutters, the easiest and safest thing is to carpet bomb the strip into dust. They are actively not doing that and putting their soldiers at more risk.
        How many innocent Palestinans do you estimate have been killed during Israel's attacks on Gaza?
        How many more innocent Palestinians do you think will be killed before Israel feels they've killed enough?

          One could be forgiven from thinking that some believe there's no such thing as an innocent Palestinian.
          When I mentioned the other day that I didn't think killing children was a good thing, not many agreed with me.

            You said: "Most Christians believe the Bible is the word of God".

            You've provided zero evidence, even though the onus is on you to prove your assertion. You merely point "Northern Ireland" as if that's "evidence", truly remarkable lack of intelligence.

              Did you mean: One could be forgiven for thinking?

                From the point of view of the dead child and their family, the intent/motivation is kinda irrelevant isn't it?

                I can absolutely understand the Israeli desire to eliminate Hamas, given the events of a couple of weeks ago, but the current situation is likely to result in a new generation of extremists - more than half the population of Gaza are children - try telling the children who have lost their parents/siblings/friends, been terrified and made homeless and hungry that Israel are justified in their actions. The actions Hamas took are rightly blamed on Hamas (a terrorist group), the response is from Israel (a country). It's impossible to foresee a future where the current Gazan children can possibly reach adulthood without hatred for Israel.

                It's a horrible mess, and one in which children are paying the highest price.

                  A lot fewer than will be claimed by Hamas.
                  If Hamas had let them leave there would be fewer casualties.

                  Israel have decided to risk their soldiers removing Hamas, there are easier ways but they would kill more Palestinians.

                  try this

                    So why did Germans who lost their parents during WW2 not grow up to hate the Allies?

                    You're robbing Palestinians of their agency. You're saying once they are adults they won't be able to critically assess how and why their parents died.
