Pope Condemns Israeli Killings of Palestinian Christians; Relative of 84 Year Old Mourns Her Death

Support our work: As international outrage grows over Israeli attacks on churches in Gaza, we speak with Philip Farah, cofounder of the Palestinian Christian Alliance for Peace. Israeli snipers shot dead an elderly woman and her adult daughter at the Holy Family Parish, a Catholic church, on Sunday. Pope Francis denounced the killings as Farah s elderly relative Elham Farah, a beloved music teacher and member of one of the oldest Christian families in Gaza, was killed by an Israeli sniper in November while sheltering outside the church. Israeli soldiers have also attacked Palestinian Christians elsewhere in Gaza as part of this genocidal war, says Farah.
