Pope Francis Services Again

By Ariadna Theokopoulos

Pope Francis hides his cross to avoid offending his “elder brothers”

Pope Francis pleasured his handlers again, intoning sweet hasbara endearments when he met with the World Jewish Congress (WJC) president Ronald Lauder and the Jewish Elders in a private meeting at the Vatican. He  told them that the state of Israel has every right to exist, and criticism of either or both is antisemitism.

Ron Lauder declared himself satisfied with how he was serviced by the Pope (and through him, as the WJC president, the “Jewish people”), by not just talking dirty but by performing stimulating (“inspiring”) acts:

“Pope Francis does not simply make declarations. He inspires people with his warmth and his compassion. His clear and unequivocal support for the Jewish people is critical to us.”

According to WJC’s statement released on October 28, Francis said:

“To attack Jews is antisemitism, but an outright attack on the state of Israel is also antisemitism. There may be political differences between governments and on political issues, but the state of Israel has every right to exist in safety and prosperity.”

As Rehmat observes in “Pope Francis defends Jewish occupation of Holy Land”: “Francis’ message is a green light for the Jewish extremists to keep murdering innocent Palestinian Muslims and Christians, even small children, based on their religious teachings. For example, in July a Palestinian infant, Ali Dawabshe, was burned to death by Israeli Jews. In October, an Israeli stabbed a fellow Jew in Haifa mistook him for an Arab.

Last week, UK’s veteran Jewish MP, Sir Gerald Kaufman, accused Israelis of faking knife-stabbings of Israeli Jews by Palestinians.

In September 2015, Israel’s religious high court (Sanhedrin) composed of 71 Jewish Sages had threated to put Pope Francis on Cross for denying that Biblical god never promised Holy Land to Jews. The threat was result of Vatican’s recognition of Palestinian state in 2013.”

I guess even the Sanhedrin — notoriously hard to please — are satisfied now.

Rehmat also notes that Christians, who made 20% of Palestinian population under Ottoman rule, have been reduced to only 4%, and half of those Christians live in the Gaza Strip. To the menorah-whipped Pope, his “elder brothers” are the innocent, unjustly suffering victims of anti-semitism, nothing else counts. True penance for sinning against God’s “chosen” in today’s Catholic Church means never using kneepads. Pope Francis’ knees are virtuously calloused by now.
