KILLING CIVILIANS NOT “COLLATERAL DAMAGE”
January 14, 2024
This week Pope Frances made it clear who he believes in this conflict that has shaken the world.
In an address from the Vatican he said you cannot call the death of civilians ‘collateral damage’. The timing of the comment just as the ICJ in The Hague began it hearings into the charges of genocide brought against Israel by South Africa, will give the judges much to think about as they deliberate

English Script:
Pope Francis: Perhaps we need to realize more clearly that civilian victims are “not collateral damage”. They are men and women with names and surnames, who lose their lives. They are children who are orphaned and deprived of their future. They are people who suffer from hunger, thirst and cold, or are mutilated due to the power of modern explosives. If we were able to look each of them in the eye, to call them by name and learn something from their personal history, we would see war for what it is: nothing else than an immense tragedy, a “useless slaughter” that offends the dignity of every person on earth.
