Israeli officials fear the pope’s vocal criticisms and symbolic gestures - such as this year’s nativity scene in St Peter’s Square featuring baby Jesus resting on a Palestinian keffiyeh - may influence global public opinion.
Created by Bethlehem artists Johny Andonia and Faten Nastas Mitwasi, the nativity scene prominently features Palestinian materials, including olive wood, a symbol of Palestinian resilience.
During its unveiling, Pope Francis condemned the global arms industry for profiting from human suffering and reiterated his call for an end to all wars, urging the faithful to remember those suffering in the holy land.
The display, praised by many as a message of solidarity and peace, drew backlash from Israel’s supporters, who accused the Vatican of promoting a pro-Palestinian agenda.

So apparently being Catholic is on the ever-growing list of things considered Anti-Semetic, almost as bad as being outraged at child murder.
Well I mean what was the Vatican up to in the 40’s?
Probably touching them idk
To be fair Hitler DID try to ban Catholocism… Course he was intentionally dragging his feet because… italywassortausefultogermanyatthetime… runs off
Word in the locker room says Israel might counter the Vatican’s child-murder accusations with some altar-boy-boning whataboutism. We’ll find out after the halftime break, Cotton.

Keep on going a bit further…
There’s a good way to prevent industries from profiting on human suffering
So they stand for their beliefs … on a pile of dead children.
Message recieved.
Look it’s the children’s fault for being Israeli. Mass murder is the only reasonable cause of action.
Why doesn’t everyone get it?
Israeli?
must be opposite day
People are dying on both sides. It isn’t just one side like some of the media makes it out to be. Killing children is wrong always.
You realise there’s a lot more on one side, right? Like, a LOT more?
Killing more children is more wrong. Israel is the one in control of the situation. Israel is the one who has the power to choose peace. if Israel stopped oppressing Palestinians, Palestinians would stop joining Hamas.
Israel’s foreign ministry summoned the Vatican’s ambassador, Archbishop Adolfo
Lol, you can’t make that shit up.
Reality being unrealistic again
The hitlerios keep on comin.
Finally the Jews are blaming the Catholics for something.
“you’re supposed to touch them not kill them”
- Catholic Church
The Catholic Church had done a lot of both.
Can’t believe I’m siding with the fucking pope
This particular pope has been a huge improvement.
I tend to agree.
I have beef with the whole thing, but he has genuinely been more forward with compassion and trying to curb the worst aspects of it all.
This particular pope has been an improvement.
This particular pope has been an improvement.
This particular pope is a hasbeen.
yes.
What about siding with a friend?
Is this a pop culture reference, common saying or something else?
Yes 😄
Even a broken clock is right twice a day
Unless it’s a digital clock. Th n it’s just dead.
Modern clocks have developed the ability to be wrong all the time. Innovation at its best.
Here we go again, Christian kingdom unite, we are taking another trip to the Holy Land.
Can… Can we wreak Istanbul on our way there again? Just out of tradition.
If saying that killing children is a bad thing causes you to “lash out” them maybe you’re a piece of shit?
What if the kid was slightly annoying at the table next to me in a restaurant for like three minutes?
Well, all sin can be forgiven with enough faith and penance, so…
It’s Apartheid South Africa all over again. They’ve got an unlimited license to be pieces of shit because they’ve got a bunch of incredibly wealthy, racist friends willing to prop them up indefinitely.
Indefinitely until their imaginary friend comes back down from the sky…so, forever.
On the one hand, I totally get being pissed off that a burgeoning global hegemon displaced your people to make room for a group of traumatized refugees in the hopes these refugees could be leveraged to establish a fortress of power projection for said hegemon to dominate a historically defiant region… and I get being pissed off that it worked a little too well to the point that now the fortress of refugees actually has nukes and holds a leash on the global hegemon that gave it all that power in the first place…
On the other hand, that was like 80 years ago and they gave you a chunk of land back and everyone just wants you to stop fighting and frankly you keep bombing them so of course they snipe your children in the streets, and slaughtering 2000 people on a holiday despite no serious escalation from the enemy side in recent memory didn’t help the situation, so the overkill by Israel is understandable.
And yet again on the other hand, if Israel has the capacity to permanently decapitate Hezbollah with pagers, then clearly they don’t need to level Gaza to get to Hamas leadership, so its clearly overkill and a humanitarian crisis and probably a war crime and they need to stop…
But on the OTHER HAND Iran did bomb them, and Hezbollah was planning an invasion, and… (trails off)
Can you all make sure they don’t secretly do this in northeast America going inland in America and into Michigan, they started pretending they were all still in Israel or Palestine or Iran when that location is quite far away on the big maps. Teleporting use to go on and messed everything up or lieing went on to cover things up or to avoid following certain laws.
So, so much irony all around here.
The head of a genocidal state is mad at the head of the world’s foremost child rape syndicate, a rape syndicate with a long and storied history of orchestrating genocide itself.
And because one of them deigned to say that, maybe, mass murder of kids is bad for the brand.
Peak human species nonsense.
tbf the pope isn’t guilty in the same way as satanyahu is
Yeah but that’s like replacing the CEO with someone who hasn’t committed a crime, and then claiming the company doesn’t deserve to be fined for the the crimes committed under the previous CEO.
Organizations are more than just the one person.
Im not gonna throw shade at someone for denouncing genocide.
It kinda hits harder coming from someone more shady, TBH. Like, “we know we’ve done some shit, but you guys are actually fucked”
One of the most infuriating things about humans is their tendency to shit on good things from bad people.
Yes, we all KNOW that person is bad. But if you scold them for doing GOOD things, you are actively discouraging them from being better!
You see, there’s way too much people believing in sky daddies and a huge portion of them thinks this ridiculous rich old man is connected to their god.
So no, definitely “we all know” is not true. As long as their fucking cult exists, I’m not gonna cheer them on when they’re accidentally right. I don’t want them to get better, I want them to be dissolved (as in the religion, not the people specifically).
In the same way I’m not gonna say how great it is that Hitler was in power because we got some sweet animal abuse laws thanks to him. Or cheer on how Mengele contributed to our modern medicine. When you’re a horrible piece of shit, it doesn’t matter how many times you’re right.
That’s a really hot take; comparing Hitler to The Pope. At least, the current pope.
I’ve seen hotter. No matter how you slice it the Pope is the head of an organization that systematically covered up child abuse for decades, probably centuries.
What’s so hot about it? You think the catholic church is not comparable in the atrocities they committed? Note that they’ve been doing it for quite a bit longer.
Right? Wevre not going to overthrow the catholic institution anytime soon so take a fucking positive moment when we can get them. Absolutionism doesn’t make progress.
I think the point is that we must remember that the enemy of our enemy is in fact not our friend. We may agree that murdering kids is wrong, but we have different motivations for wanting them to remain alive…
Children should be raped, but not killed
-Pope Francis (probably)
Francis has actually been tackling the problem, unlike previous popes.
It’s not like Israelis are his target audience…
