Persecution of Palestinian Christians in Gaza genocide[edit]
Since 7 October 2023 conflict, the Christian community in Gaza has been suffering immense losses. The world'third oldest known church has been bombed by Israeli army . A mother and with her daughter that were sheltering in a church were shot dead by Israeli army snipers. The Pope has made a public speech condemning these atrocities and agreed that they appear to be terrorist acts carries put by the current occupation i.e. Israel.
The Palestinian Christian Orthodox community leaders have made official calls on media platforms pledging for worldwide support and prayers in the wake of the recent shooting and arrests in West Banks as well as the ongoing en masse indiscriminate killing of over 20 thousand civillians in Gaza many of them being children and infants ,women and elderly.The exact number of Christians killed in Gaza is unknown as the international call for immediate ceasefire continues. At this moment in time USA has been the only nation voting against ceasefire at the United Nations urgent assembly. As the Christmas approached many were hoping that this would be the moment the ceasefire would come into place. Unfortunately it hasn't been the case. On Christmas Day ,speaking from the loggia of St. Peter's Basilica to the throngs of people below, Francis said he grieved the "abominable attack" of Hamas against southern Israel on Oct. 7 and called for the release of hostages. And he begged for an end to Israel's military campaign in Gaza and the "appalling harvest of innocent civilians" as he called for humanitarian aid to reach those in need.
Francis devoted his Christmas Day blessing to a call for peace in the world, noting that the biblical story of the birth of Christ in Bethlehem sent a message of peace. But he said that Bethlehem "is a place of sorrow and silence" this year. 86.6.205.173 (talk) 23:12, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
