. . ."Pope Francis’s increasingly openly expressed enmity toward Israel, the world’s only Jewish state, marks a profound break with this tradition and speaks to my personal belief that his values are informed more by Marx than by Jesus." . . . (Emphasis mine; TD
. . ."And then there’s Israel. Although a Jewish nation, Israel gives its citizens full civil rights, regardless of sex, race, religion, etc. This means that there is complete freedom of worship in Israel. Meanwhile, in Gaza and the West Bank, Jews are forbidden, while Christians are either expelled or slaughtered.
"Nevertheless, Francis’s heart is with the Muslims—another Marxist trait.
"Wikipedia nicely summarizes Francis’s statements since October 7:
Francis condemned Hamas’s October 2023 attack on Israel. He also criticized Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip during the Israel–Hamas war, saying that “terror should not justify terror” and describing Israel’s airstrikes as “cruelty, this is not war.” He condemned the killing of two Palestinian Christian women by an IDF sniper in Gaza, calling it “terrorism”. Throughout the war, Francis has called for an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages, and the establishment of a two-state solution. He has communicated with the sole parish of Gaza daily since the start of the war. In November 2024, Pope Francis suggested that the international community should investigate whether Israel’s campaign in Gaza is a genocide of the Palestinian people. [Hyperlinks and endnotes omitted.]
"Francis seems to have missed entirely (a) the fact that Hamas has fired over 10,000 rockets at Israel’s civilian centers since October 7, (b) that Israel has gone to extraordinary lengths to protect and feed Gaza’s civilian population, a population that overwhelmingly supports Hamas's openly expressed genocidal intentions toward Israel, and (c) that the casualty figures out of Gaza are all lies.
"Undeterred by facts, the Pope has now accused Israel of “machine-gunning” children in Gaza:
“Let us pray for a ceasefire on all war fronts, in Ukraine, the Holy Land, in all the Middle East and the entire world, at Christmas,” the pontiff said in his weekly Angelus address Sunday. “And with sorrow I think of Gaza, of so much cruelty; of the children machine-gunned, the bombing of schools and hospitals… So much cruelty!” . . .
