    So you are attacking the institution, I also think that the church as an institution is completely flawed, but the same applies to pretty much any religion that empowers people and lets them exploit the weak and vulnerable.

    The church was also burning alive people who were suspected of witchcraft, stifled technological progress for centuries, etc. Shall we blame the Pope for that too?

    So yes, I agree the church as an institution is compromised, but the same applies to pretty much any religion group and institution, and this is coming from the people who had been in power. The same as what Hamas and Israel are currently doing in Gaza, exploiting the weak and vulnerable.

    And sorry to disappoint you that there are also reported and documented sexual abuse cases in the Judaism as well, and also Rabbis taking advantage of young boys and girls.

    But the more important question is are you as a human being approving of the current situation in Gaza. And let me give you a hint, Israel like the church doesn’t have a pristine reputation and they are continuously and systematically abusing their position, committing countless human rights violations, which are recorded and easy to find with a simple Google search.

    Is this a reason enough to hate every Israeli? I don’t think so.
