It is a measure I guess of how twisted and shallow our depiction of a people is that these images come as a shock to so many. The world has visited many terrible things on the Palestinian people, none more shameful than robbing them of their basic humanity….Anthony Bourdain
Unfortunately the people in Jerusalem were not privileged to be on the streets to welcome Pope Francis . The Israeli Police closed all the roads that led to the areas which he was going to visit, and turned the city into a ghost town.
What a feather in the Zionist cap! A Catholic pope honouring Herzl the Zionist atheist! Francis’ rabbi friend, Abraham Skorka was spot on when he noted that it ‘could be understood as a nod to Zionism’. It was much more than a nod. For the gleeful Netanyahu gang, it was an imprimatur on the expansionism of Greater Israel negating Francis’ two-state solution.

“DePaul students don’t want their tuition dollars invested in weapons manufacturers who supply the Israeli government, army and prison services” The Palestinians have been robbed of everything, including their freedom. Why should they be asked to make more “concessions” to the thief? That is why Boycotting Israel is so important and necessary
Jerusalem Christians were 24,000 before Israel occupied East Jerusalem in 1967. Today, we are less than 9,000! This is due to displacement, house confiscation and demolitions, revocation and denial of residency rights and restrictions of movement. We have become an isolated community, economically and socially as a result of Israeli laws against family re-unification, and torn apart by the separation wall. This is the truth of Jerusalem Christians today.
