      Christians mostly. Their book says the world can’t end unless the Jews control the holy land. They can’t enter heaven until the rapture, which happens at the end. No one wants to chill in the dirt for a millenia or two until they go to the good place so they do everything they can to hasten the end days and get to heaven sooner. But they’re doing it for everyone, so it’s totally not selfish. This is also why they can’t leave uncontacted tribes alone, the rapture can’t happen until every living soul has been offered salvation through christ, whether they accept it or not. Everyone knowing about Jesus divinity and jews in israel are two of the checklist items to end the game and be judged. So that’s pretty much it, Christians support Israel because they literally want to end the world.

          Ignorance is baked into the religion. Best way to become an atheist is to read the bible.

        Not Palestinian Christians who are getting persecuted by Israel.

        Or any Christian with a heart.

      I think the only reason people support either side in this conflict is because they hate the other.

    “Obviously, we would never want to hit or kill or shoot any journalist that is doing its job”

    “Sadly we are also completely and utterly incompetent and so it happens again and again and again. And that’s of course totally accidental every single time.”

    What a bright and vivid democracy. I’m sure this will be condemned by other democracies that value press freedoms.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    An Associated Press photographer at the scene saw the body of Reuters videographer Issam Abdallah and saw some of the six who were wounded being rushed to hospitals in ambulances.

    The agency said that Abdallah was part of a Reuters crew in southern Lebanon that was providing a live signal.

    Reuters said that two of its journalists, Thaer Al-Sudani and Maher Nazeh, were wounded in the shelling in the border area.

    Qatar’s Al-Jazeera TV, said two of its employees, Elie Brakhya and reporter Carmen Joukhadar, also were among the wounded.

    “We are urgently seeking more information, working with authorities in the region and supporting Issam’s family and colleagues,” Reuters said.

    The shelling occurred during an exchange of fire along the Lebanon-Israel border between Israeli troops and members of Lebanon’s militant Hezbollah group.


    The original article contains 289 words, the summary contains 130 words. Saved 55%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    Israel is doing exactly what the Hamas terrorists wanted them to do. Overreacting.

    Iran, Hezbollah, Lebanon and Hamas need to unite and flatten all of Israel military and key infrastructure, like Russia did in Nazi Ukraine, while similarly avoiding civilian casualties. Israelis will go back to Europe and USA, where they were imported from.
