Vatican calls for independent Palestinian state 'soon'WHY SHOULD JEWS HANDOVER ANY PART OF OUR ANCIENT HOMELAND - JUDEA AND SAMARIA - TO THESE VILE SCUMB*GS JUST SO THEY CAN HAVE ANOTHER TERROR STATE LIKE SYRIA AND LEBANON AND GAZA!?!?!?!?
Pope Benedict XVI meets PA President Abbas at Vatican, says its urgent that Palestinian state, Israel "live in security, at peace with neighbors."
The Vatican on Friday called urgently for a just and lasting peace between peace between Israel and the Palestinians, which it said can be brought about through and independent Palestinian state.
SHOULD WE DO SO BECAUSE OF THE WAY THESE MUSLIM SCUM TREATED THE CHURCH OF THE NATIVITY!?!?! MAYBE THE POPE IS TOO SENILE TO REMEMBER THIS, BUT I AM NOT SENILE YET AND I DO REMEMBER IT WELL:
Stench fills Christ's birthplace after siegeAND I REMEMBER HOW THESE MUSLIM SCUMBA*S TREATED JOSEPH'S TOMB:BETHLEHEM, West Bank - The overwhelming stench of urine was the first thing to hit visitors who entered the shrine in Bethlehem revered as the birthplace of Jesus.
The standoff between Palestinian militants and the Israeli army at the Church of the Nativity, which came to an end on Friday after nearly 40 days and nights of high drama, had left one of Christianity's holiest places in a shocking mess.
Garbage bags, lemon peels, gas canisters, petrol cans and electric hotplates were scattered throughout the church off Manger Square. A Reuters correspondent saw altars, the sacred focus of Christian worship, covered with food scraps.
"It's not a church any more, it's a place filled with beds and trash," said Sandy Shahin, a local teenager who rushed into the church minutes after the end of the siege on Friday.
"The smell is too bad. The floor is too bad. I'm filled with fear," Shahin, a Roman Catholic, said between sobs.
... Soon after the militants left, priests from the often bickering denominations argued over whether to allow Israeli army bomb disposal experts in to make sure no explosives were left behind. The clergymen decided in favour of a sweep.
"We have found 40 explosive devices and five rifles hidden there and the IDF is dismantling them now," an army spokeswoman said.
Earlier, 13 men on Israel's most-wanted list left the church and were quickly flown on a British aircraft to Cyprus, the first stop in an exile abroad which will take them to third countries under a European Union-brokered deal.
Twenty-six others considered less serious offenders by Israel were expelled from the West Bank and taken to Gaza.
Some 200 people -- Palestinian militants, police, civilians, priests and nuns took refuge in the sanctuary to evade Israeli troops and tanks that swept into Bethlehem on April 2 in a West Bank offensive triggered by suicide bombings.
In the early days of the al-Aqsa Intifada, on the morning of October 7, 2000, Israel withdrew the small contingent of IDF border policemen who had been guarding the site of the Tomb of the Patriarch Joseph and its Yeshiva. The holy site was located in Shechem in Samaria, the town the Arabs call "Nablus". Over the preceeding days, the Tomb had been attacked with gunfire, stones, and firebombs. The IDF defenders in the compound withstood the attacks and stopped several attempts by armed Palestinians to break in. An IDF border policemen was wounded, and the heavy rioting prevented his evacuation for treatment in time to save his life.
In order to prevent further loss of life and to lower tensions in the area, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak authorized the temporary evacuation of the site, based on the agreement of the Palestinian Authority (PA) to safeguard the location, in accordance with their obligations under the Oslo Accords to protect holy sites, Jewish and Christian, and ensure access by all. The PA also pledged to prevent any vandalism and to return the Tomb to its original state after the violence settled down.
The PA pledge was brazenly violated about two hours after the Israeli evacuation, when a Palestinian Arab mob entered the Tomb compound and began to systematically destroy everything in sight, including all remnants of the Yeshiva. The furniture and books that were left behind were burned by the mob. The Palestinian police stood by, failing to prevent any of these violent activities, despite their commitment to guard the Tomb. Within hours, Joseph's Tomb was reduced to a smoldering heap of rubble. Within two days, as an Associated Press dispatch reported, "the dome of the tomb was painted green and bulldozers were seen clearing the surrounding area," as the Palestinian Arabs sought to transform the biblical Joseph's resting place into a Moslem holy site.
THAT WAS 2000; THEY DID IT AGAIN THIS YEAR:
THIS POPE IS WRONG. HE IS ADVOCATING A BAD IF NOT EVIL THING.
NO GOOD WILL COME OF IT - NOT FOR ANYONE; NOT FOR THE RC CHURCH.
SIGH.
Typical of Brits to rescue their beloved mooselums!! How disgusting! I bet they are all here, on welfare with millions of children learning how to attack us!
ReplyDeleteOh God, I just found this!!
ReplyDelete"The Palestinian militans who were expelled from their West Bank homes following a standoff with IDF forces at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem in 2002 would be allowed to return, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's advisor Raanan Gissin said Saturday.
"We agreed not to arrest them upon their return," he said. "We have frozen all the legal proceedings against them, as long as they refrain from terror activity."
