UK Minister of State Lee Rowley responding to the fact that Israeli sniper killed a Christian mother and her daughter in a church in Gaza with "its an act of Israel trying to defend itself" https://t.co/5cL98ghQdQ
Can Lee Rowley @Lee4NED confirm that he isn't also advocating shooting UK churchgoers to encourage senior figures in Hamas to surrender? Is the logic that the more people killed in churches the quicker this ends or is it just Palestinian churches? https://t.co/QYHpnplkon
Your comments are correct IMHO. This is a UK minister downplaying that an IDF sniper has deliberately shot not one but two unarmed Christian parishioners in a Gaza church and instead blaming their deaths on Hamas, who were not even present in the church. #cease https://t.co/SauDv84mqg

🇮🇱 Israel lie to gain Christian support. They deny killing innocent churchgoers. They deny a Christian population in Gaza exists. They deny churches exist in Gaza. All this to conceal their atrocities and to gain western Christian support. Don't fall for their propaganda. https://t.co/blbpezFZ4h

An Israeli sniper shot dead two women in Gaza, 2 Palestinian Christians, a mother and daughter. Christians & Muslims suffer alike under Israeli occupation, and Xmas celebrations have been cancelled in Syria and Palestine. Where's the solidarity from "Christians" in the West?
