    Vatican blames Israel for all Christian problems in Mideast
    A docuмent released by the Vatican this week blamed Israel not only for the exodus of Christians from Palestinian-controlled territories, but for the plight of Christians across the entire Middle East.
    The docuмent will serve as the basis for an October gathering of bishops to discuss the difficulties of minority Christian communities in the Muslim world.
    It was largely authored by Arab bishops from the Middle East, most of whom said that the Israeli "occupation" of Arab-claimed lands is the root cause of nearly all oppression of Christians in the region. They suggested that in the absence of the "occupation," radical Islamic forces across the region would lose support and be unable to cause trouble for Christians.
    The docuмent also appeared to justify the use of terrorist violence by Muslims in both Israel and Iraq:
    "Violence is in the hands of the strong and weak alike, the latter resorting to whatever violence is within reach in order to be free."
    A Vatican official told reporters on Tuesday that the Catholic Church is not trying to take sides or make policy recommendations, but insisted that the Middle East-based bishops who authored the docuмent "know the situation well."

    • Because I support the Palestinian struggle for national self-determination three people (one Israeli, two USAan) labelled me some type of nαzι-loving, αnтι-ѕємιтє. By responding to any criticism of anything Jєωιѕн or Israeli with completely over the top hysteria the zionists and their neo-con allies are actually playing into the hands of people like Raoul or worse. Lets wait and see what the Vatitican actually said...Its very possible its very different to what Israel today reports.

    • What they do not want to confront is this-that Palestinians are semites too!!!

    we change the word to mean Jєω-only thse days......ignoring that many peoples in area ore semitic.....

    as far as playing into hands, read Fr.Fahey....he was not a puppet.......nor was John Chrysostom.......sometimes we have to speak the truth about organized тαℓмυdism (the beleifs and practices, not people)and accept that knee jerk, non-thinking people will always label us "αnтι-ѕємιтєs"
