“If the fact that I am a ‘celebrity’ makes you feel silly, what dear girl do you think it makes me feel? It’s a comic distinction shared with Roy Rogers’s horse and Miss Watermelon of 1958. In a great many ways it makes things difficult, for the only friends you can have are old friends or new ones who are willing to ignore it” (Flannery O’Connor, in a December 1955 letter; ‘The Habit of Being,’ pp. 125f).

Local journalists are reporting that the Israeli military just bombed the very church in Gaza that Pope Francis used to call every night. Israel killed 2 Christians and injuring 6 more.

Was Hamas in the church now?

If you still actually believe this is "Muslim vs Jew" and not War Criminal vs Civilians, then idk what to tell you but you're helping whitewash genocide.
