  This is the Hamas terrorism muslims hide when they are talking about Israel. Hamas doesn't care if they are civilian, children, women or elderly. Deliberately bombing any civilians anywhere, ordering all Palestinians stab jews anywhere in the world. If Israel didn't have the dome and the IDF, Israeli civilian deaths would have been hundred times. >

  Hamas members are not Palestinian civilians. They want to swap murderers with civilian children just like ISIS and Al Qaeda do. >

  The families of several Israelis held captive in Gaza met with Pope Francis at the Vatican on Wednesday as part of the continuous efforts to raise international awareness of the issue of soldiers and civilians held by the terrorist organization Hamas.
  The meeting lasted about 45 minutes, during which Pope Francis addressed each of the members of the four families that participated, expressing deep solidarity with them and especially with the suffering of the mothers.
  Leah Goldin, the mother of Hadar Goldin, told i24NEWS that the message they brought to the pontiff was one of a religious issue.
