The Netanyahu Government's Dispute with the Roman Catholic Pope

[u/PlinyToTrajan]

Curious for the range of thoughts and reactions.

The Netanyahu government is chastising the Roman Catholic Pope – who is, to be sure, the head of a problematic and historically anti-semitic institution – but who is also an eighty-eight year old Christian priest who has actual responsibility for actual congregants in the Gaza strip and West Bank – for saying the following words:

"Yesterday the [Latin] Patriarch [of Jerusalem] was not allowed into Gaza, as had been promised; and yesterday children were bombed. This is cruelty. This is not war. I wanted to tell you this because it touches my heart." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6I2Lr_8lFc&t=706s

See The Jerusalem Post, Dec. 25, 2024, "Vatican ambassador called by Israeli Foreign Ministry over Pope's comments on Israel"

Not surprised by the J Post after all it's very right winged leaning, they have purposely used triggering words to downplay the popes actions.

Blood liable; it's literally blood, genocidal war crimes and murder. I hope he stands his ground and never apologize.

Me too, given the extremity of the current conjuncture.
