troll you mean, my statement was clear and remains so

Can you quote where I said anyone was lying, let alone the frigging pope? Can you supply any evidence, as to who it was that fired?

Now your just being dishonest, which again is trolling:

You don't think Hamas uses money siphoned off from its foreign donors? How quaint. Not even Iran?

Can you point out where I insinuated they were lying? Can you prove otherwise? instead of another troll response such as this?

Back to trolling then............

As far as I am aware, the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem did not actually witness who the killer was, do they know if it was indeed an Israeli or Hamas sniper?

No idea, ask them if they have any evidence, I'm sure Al Jazeera will rustle some up

Because they broke their own policies, yes I have a link, something you could easily have done yourself but here's some spoon feeding for you. "An IDF official said on Saturday that "the hostages were fired upon against Israel's rules of engagement", according to an initial investigation into the deaths." https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/israeli-hostages-mistakenly-shot-dead-by-idf-waving-white-flags/

A 20 year old article is not a response to policies that are in place now

Nah............I think your old enough to do that yourself, lame deflection yet again

Here we go again with you and your deflection, here is what you said.............. I addressed your question with evidence "Will Israel?" Here is a link for more on the investigation that they are doing. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67745092

This is not about the journalist though and the evidence now is that we are.

Its because of the investigation that we are getting the full hard hitting circumstances of the incident.

There is no justification for holding hostages, let alone children, women (who have been sexually abused by them) and men. The release of the hostages should be unconditional. Stop the nonsense

New UN Security Council resolution ceasefire to be voted on today according to this. This time however it also calls for the “immediate and unconditional release of all hostages.” Something that was missing from the previous one. https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog-december-18-2013/#liveblog-entry-3180738 Note also that there's been a lot of coverage in the media BBC etc on the tide turning and mentioning David Cameron's and his German counterpart calling for a ceasefire but they all seem to miss the context in which that is said. But let us be clear. We do not believe that calling right now for a general and immediate ceasefire, hoping it somehow becomes permanent, is the way forward. It ignores why Israel is forced to defend itself: Hamas barbarically attacked Israel and still fires rockets to kill Israeli citizens every day. Hamas must lay down its arms. Let us imagine that we did press Israel to cease all military operations forthwith. Would Hamas stop firing rockets? Would it release the hostages? Would its murderous ideology change? An unsustainable ceasefire, quickly collapsing into further violence, would only make it harder to build the confidence needed for peace. We must also think carefully about the nature of any longer-term peace deal. Even before October 7, it was hard to imagine Hamas as a real partner for peace. After October 7, we can have no illusions. Leaving Hamas in power in Gaza would be a permanent roadblock on the path to a two-state solution. https://archive.ph/XUPyd https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/david-cameron-gaza-ceasefire-israel-palestine-war-s50x2kscw

From Israel's Minister of Foreign Affairs, no truer word can be said. The amount of money spent by Hamas that was diverted from the people to better their lives and provide opportunity, instead went on enriching the leaders and building terror networks and tunnels, even stealing Gazans own water pipes to make rockets. "Over the years, Hamas has received billions of dollars in donations. Instead of investing in infrastructure, schools, hi-tech and hospitals, they built huge terror tunnels, all aimed at killing Israelis. Every day that Hamas exists is a danger to the people of Gaza, the citizens of Israel and regional stability. A ceasefire must not be called. We will fight until we defeat Hamas and until the return of all the hostages."

EXPOSED: The biggest Hamas terrorist tunnel discovered. This massive tunnel system branches out and spans well over four kilometers (2.5 miles). Its entrance is located only 400 meters (1,310 feet) from the Erez Crossing—used by Gazans on a daily basis to enter Israel for work and medical treatment in Israeli hospitals. This tunnel system was a project led by Mohammad Sinwar, the brother of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, and the commander of Hamas’ Khan Yunis Battalion.

Huge tunnels found in Gaza, the biggest so far, a massive network costing millions, big enough to drive cars in. One tunnel outlet very close to the border 400 meters, when Hamas said Oct 7th would happen again they were serious. This is insane. Hamas built a whole underground tunnel system wide enough for cars to drive through, and we’ve got video of Yahya Sinwar’s brother cruising through a tunnel.

I know the National football team has some, I remember reading about it soon after Oct 7th, can't be bothered to look now though, but did have a look for Arab Muslims in the Israel Knesset the country's legislative body so quite high up. There are currently 10 Arab Muslim members out of a total of 120 members. Not bad for a so called apartheid state (according to some) I did also notice the under 20's football National team has quite a good selection: 'The most non-Israeli national team ever' https://www.dw.com/en/how-israels-young-footballers-united-a-divided-country/a-65848034

Along with Al Jazeera, its not surprising you link to Middle East Eye, two peas in a pod, both funded by Qatar. Reuters retracts award for Palestinian over pro-Hitler, pro-terror comments The Thomson Reuters Foundation rescinded its bestowal of a Kurt Schork Award in International Journalism on Palestinian freelance journalist Shatha Hammad after discovering old social media posts in which she praised Adolf Hitler. In a post the same year, Hammad described the terrorists that killed five Israelis in a terrorist attack as "martyrs." Hammad's comments glorifying Hitler and terrorism were initially exposed by media watchdog HonestReporting, which said that there were dozens of such comments. Hammad is based in the West Bank and works as a freelance correspondent for Middle East Eye https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-719949 Yes she was finally sacked last year

Deflection of the topic, anything to take away the daily updates including more Hamas terror tunnels this time entrance is in a babies bedroom. Babies as human shields. Breaking - during sweeps by the IDF - forces found a full-sized operational terror tunnel inside a child’s bedroom

I prefer to believe official sources not anonymous posters who have been outed many times for their dishonesty.

Liar: "PM Benjamin Netanyahu's office denied the allegation and said ‘document is an imaginary exercise and a concept paper’."

Probably one of the most powerful monologues you will hear about the atrocities that Hamas perpetrated on Oct 7. Its 9 minutes but gives one of the most powerful summaries that I've heard yet an the reasons for Israel's response to Oct 7th. Its their own 9/11 "Today I was among the journalists who have attended a private screening of the raw footage of October 7th and I want to express to you what I saw since it’s not been made public. It’s been a very heavy day. A decision was made that Jews are less than human, and treated that way in words and deeds..I now know that’s exactly the message Hamas sent on purpose — at scale. I wasn’t aware of that before. I saw bodies were burned but I did not understand or appreciate how intentional the effort was - they did it methodically, you hear it in the voices, the commands the ease, the excitement of finding and mutilating victims."
