Al Jazeera says that the church was shot at directly by a tank. Other articles only use the word “strike”.
Im not trying to defend the Catholic Church here. It is an institution that as far as I can tell have been right on precisely one issue in 1000 years (Eugenics, they were opposed). But the last crusade was in like the 17th century, even if you’re only counting crusades in the middle east we’re in the 14th or 15h century.
Okay but why do we need “unironic” religiously motivated conflict to stop the genocide? Look up the religion of the people they were eating, it’s not like the Deus Vult guys are going to stop with Jews. This whole thing isn’t even funny as a bit, it’s just unhinged.
I don’t think an actual crusading army would be a humanitarian force, I don’t believe i said they would be. In fact I think its pointed out that I don’t consider the Catholic Church to be that moral an actor. I’m simply pointing out that there were 600 years of religious war crimes after what you said was the last time they did this.
