1a. Muslims don’t destroy Jewish and Christian places of worship.
Sharia demands Muslims to protect places of worship of the People of the Book, those who follow Judaism and the Christians. (If it has happened it is because of uncontrolled rage, which is forbidden in Islam).
1b. Quranic evidence
{ وَلَوْلَا دَفْعُ اللّٰهِ النَّاسَ بَعْضَهُم بِبَعْضٍ لَّهُدِّمَتْ صَوَامِعُ وَبِيَعٌ وَصَلَوَاتٌ وَمَسَاجِدُ يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا اسْمُ اللّٰهِ كَثِيرًا }
{For had it not been for Allah’s repelling some men by means of others, cloisters and churches and oratories and mosques, wherein the name of Allah is oft mentioned, would assuredly have been pulled down.}

1c. From the Sunna of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ about the rules of war
Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his household) said:
Whenever at war with a people, do not touch :
• An old person
• A child
• One who is not a member of the people you are at war with
• Anyone in any place of worship
• One who surrenders
Do not destroy :
• Any place of worship
• Anyone's home. etc
• Don't poison the water wells
• Don't cut down trees
"The Messenger of God ﷺ conquered Khaybar by force and left (the Jews’) places of worship & did not destroy them. Also, the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ conquered many countries by force and did not destroy any of the churches in them." Ibn Al Qayyim (Ismail Royer @IslamRFI)

One of things that sets muslim conquerers apart from European colonizers is that they, like the Prophet ﷺ, didn’t bring destruction upon the nations they conquered. @mmmml
1d. From the Torah/ Bible
"What is hateful to you, do not do to another."
"This is the whole Torah," seems to imply that if Israel opposes the destruction of others’ places of worship, this principle should apply to the Palestinians too.
2. Targeting of Church buildings by Israel Zionist ‘army’.
Attacks on hospitals, bakeries, mosques or churches are warcrimes for which the responsible culprits will have to answer in court. And, of course also cutting off water, food, medicines…
On 20231019, an adjacent humanitarian building to the Saint Porphyrios Orthodox Church of Gaza was destroyed by Israeli bombing (there are dead and wounded). This is a medieval church from about 4th century after the time of Jesus (peace be upon him).
Israel has already destroyed many places of worship. Ask yourself why they would do this.
And when Gaza had 1 functioning bakery left, it was bombed, too. (≈ 2023-10-18) Ask yourself why they would do this!

– The Patriarchate of Jerusalem Condemns Israeli Airstrikes Targeting Humanitarian Institutions in Gaza – 20231020
The Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem expresses its strongest condemnation of the Israeli airstrike that have struck its church compound in the city of Gaza. 2023-10-20
3. More info about the church
And experience should tell us – if we have some memory – that Israel is lying more than breathing. So it’s better to believe the Patriarchate of Jerusalem Condemning Israeli airstrikes targeting humanitarian institutions than to believe Zionist propaganda.
Thank God (may His Majesty be exalted!) they did not hit the main building which was built long before the Vikings even decided to mount their boats!
It probably was an adjacent building to the church, a ‘humanitarian institution’, and it’s just cruel to hit refugees – there is no excuse!

Anyone who thinks this is fake, while defending the most fascist government Israel had for decades, look we can’t help you, you need to REPENT and turn to God before it’s too late!
