Vatican launches war against Israeli crimes

Palestine-Vatican, Politics, 4/15/2002

The Vatican launched a semi-official warfare against Israel terming 
its re-occupation of Palestinian territories as genocide against the 
Palestinian people, due to which the international community must 
intervene.

This is, of course, an unprecedented accusation leveled by the 
Vatican to Israel whose Politica1 significance prompts other western 
parties to oppose Israeli policies.

In its official Gazette, the Vatican stressed that the genocide 
against the Palestinians has got nothing to do with allegations by 
Israel that its war is against terrorism.

It added that this war aimed at preventing Palestinians from 
realizing their dream of establishing their independent state. It 
stressed that the current war against Palestinians lacked all forms 
of international legitimacy.

Commenting on this war, the Vatican says that the current war, waged 
by Israel in collaboration with the Americans against Muslim 
Palestinian people, is not "religiously blessed".

Rather it is condemned by all Catholic Church archbishops in the 
world. The Vatican urged all Catholics in the world to unify ranks to 
condemn the religiously unlawful war against Palestinians.

Getting out to the diplomatic chess board, the Vatican recalled the 
American and Israeli ambassadors informing them that Pope John Paul 
II rejected calling the current war against Palestinians as 
anti-terrorism war.

The Pope urged Israel to withdraw immediately from the occupied 
territories and urged the Americans to stop their support to Israel, 
through public recall of the two ambassadors, the Vatican said that 
all Christians in the World particularly the Catholics support the 
Palestinian people.

Thus, it expressed its readiness to establish an international 
alliance with Islamic leadership to face up the Israeli-American 
alliance after the Europeans had rejected to join them in them 
aggression against the Palestinian people or Iraqi people in the 
future.

intelligent, smart. As a people [though], I would not give them as 
high a grade. Jews know how to hate."
