| | | Are Western governments increasingly critical of Israel’s Gaza war strategy? Yes and for good reasons. The majority simply doesn’t understand
the unconditional US support for Israeli government actions which are now being compared to the Russia / Ukraine war.
So true.. it's one & the same. Maybe Russian blood still flows deep in the hearts of the Jewish State.
It would brave if Pope Leo publicly outed Netanyahu for his genocidal war on Palestinians, even taking a braver stance
that Israeli Jews do not like Christians either. That attack on the Gaza Catholic Church was not a mistake.

Pope Leo appeals to Netanyahu for ceasefire after strike on Gaza church
The Vatican said Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu initiated his call with Pope Leo on Friday, the Vatican said, the day after Israeli fire
on the Holy Family Church in Gaza City killed three people and provoked international condemnation, Agence France-Presse (AFP) reports.
The Vatican said in a statement that Leo was at his summer residence in Castel Gandolfo, south of Rome.
The statement said:
During the conversation, the Holy Father renewed his appeal to revive negotiations and reach a ceasefire and the end of the war.
He once again expressed his concern for the dramatic humanitarian situation of the population in Gaza, whose heartbreaking toll is borne particularly
by children, the elderly and the sick.
Finally, the Holy Father reiterated the urgency of protecting places of worship and especially the faithful and all people in Palestine and Israel.
Netanyahu has said Israel “deeply regrets” the strike, and blamed a “stray round”.
He repeated this regret in the conversation with the pope, which was “friendly”, a spokesperson for Netanyahu told AFP, adding that the two men agreed to meet soon. |
