GML67 The Pope is a man of peace whatever way you want to twist it. The Israeli treatment of the Palestinians is appalling, as are the rocket attacks from the Palestinians. However, the Israeli response is disproportionate. As someone who has experience of the troubles in Ireland, I can tell you that far from eradicating the problem, the Israelis are only creating thru brutalisation, another generation of radicalised, fatherless/motherless/childless Palestinians, incentivised to hate & kill Israelis. When will the world learn? The only way to find a true lasting peace is thru mutual respect, and talking. The Israelis have pushed that prospect as far away as it's ever been. So the Pope calls a spade a spade, whether you like it or not. Now the UN has demanded that Israel ceasefire. Israeli has lost world opinion, and Palestine IS like a huge concentration camp. People being brutalised, no food, no medicine, no respect, over 200 dead children!!! God forgive the people who do this in His name. You will NEVER find peace if you treat other like this. STOP!

regardless of the danger, which is Israel’s excuse for not letting journalists
in, Joe gets access above all others because of Pajamas Media, something that
further inspires the Carter syndrome crowd’s caterwauling. (Disclosure:

Gaza not unlike a big concentration camp, says top Vatican official
Hot Air » Top Picks —
... Not just repulsive but gutless, since he leaves us to guess which side he thinks wears the swastika. Even to venture a Holocaust analogy under the circumstances is a supreme insult, of course, but he’ll get away with it because he gets to hide behind the cross. Absolute moral authority, you see. Cardinal Martino expressed concern over the humanitarian situation, saying “Let’s look at the conditions in Gaza: these increasingly resemble a big concentration camp.” He added: “Defenceless populations are always the ones who pay.” The Israeli Foreign Ministry said that this ...
