Lebanon is over 40% Christian. Most of those Christians are Maronite Catholics.
Yes and during the Ottoman Empire they killed off about a third of them by basically stealing their food and causing a famine.
And here you have a massacre from plo

The Damour massacre took place on 20 January 1976, during the 1975–1990 Lebanese Civil War. Damour, a Maronite Christian town on the main highway south of Beirut, was attacked by left-wing militants of the Palestine Liberation Organisation and as-Sa'iqa. Many of its people died in battle or in the massacre that followed, and the others were forced to flee.
So my thing is, we have no idea who was there and who they were harboring in the church. And if completely innocent, war sucks. Christians should probably stay away from Muslims.
And it’s funny seeing the Jew haters not get up in arms for the Muslims massacring these same people.
And some here have voted to let these same people into our country. So good job.

There is a Maronite (Lebanese Catholic) church here in Baton Rouge.

Hezbollah was a reaction to Israel in Lebanon
Why was Israel in southern Lebanon? The PLO under Arafat was there in Southern Lebanon making excursions into Northern Israel killing Jews, you know the poor Palestinians everyone loves. Israel did not want to annex Lebanon

It’s really a clown world the Jew haters on this board live in. In a thread talking about a country of over 5 million people that was majority Christian two generations ago now down to about a third Christian because of muslims, trying to talk shite about Israel because they may or may not have killed 8 people who may or may not have been Christians.

The issue from a Christian perspective is that the Israelis target the civilian population in reprisal attacks
People die in war. Only people naive beyond belief expect zero collateral damage from modern warfare.
Allowing groups like Hezbollah to integrate themselves into society = civilian casualties. Is it “wrong”? Sure. But war is hell. Simple reality.

Oh man, I don’t know if the Catholic church has the resources to recover from this.

Israel kills civilians as a form of collective punishment.
It’s a war crime

This post is a perfect representation of this board in a nutshell
Shallow preconceived notions without a shred of grounding in reality.
Lebanon has more Christians than any country in the Middle East by far. Over 1/3 the population.

Civilians die in war. Don’t start one if you don’t want consequences.

Olive groves provide excellent concealment. Would you have wanted a bulldozer to be used instead?

Hezballoh rocketed a soccer field full of children. If I was Isreal I would fly over and drop pamplets that they had 24 hours to get out and then I would level it from one side to the other.

And firing rockets on a soccer field full of children isn't? Gtfoh. Those mfers have been blowing up innocent civilians for decades. They never go after legitimate military targets.

That's nothing compared to what the U.S. did to the historic Catholic abbey at Monte Cassino.

Negative ghost rider.
Militants hiding behind civilians is a war crime. Attacking such targets is not a war crime. If it were, it would incentivize more militants to hide behind more civilians. You're smart enough to understand all of this, right?

Or, we understand that Muslim terrorists were hiding, or hiding weapons, in or near the church.

Antisemitism has existed for as long as there have been Jews. And we may have thought it was under control or that people had moved past it. But they haven't. Some may say Jews are okay but Netanyahu makes them bad. Back during the eclipse I stayed with a former colleague who along with his best good buddy talked about getting rid of Netanyahu and having a two state solution. And then I heard this on the TV and inter webs. They all feed from the same propaganda trough.

Lebanon was very Christian before the Muslims took over. They went from a thriving international city to whatever it is now.
Yep, they gave the Islamics refuge and they repaid them by slaughtering Christians and driving Christians from their own country. A lesson where good intentions lead to your own demise.
