Israeli officials fear the pope’s vocal criticisms and symbolic gestures - such as this year’s nativity scene in St Peter’s Square featuring baby Jesus resting on a Palestinian keffiyeh - may influence global public opinion.
Created by Bethlehem artists Johny Andonia and Faten Nastas Mitwasi, the nativity scene prominently features Palestinian materials, including olive wood, a symbol of Palestinian resilience.
During its unveiling, Pope Francis condemned the global arms industry for profiting from human suffering and reiterated his call for an end to all wars, urging the faithful to remember those suffering in the holy land.
The display, praised by many as a message of solidarity and peace, drew backlash from Israel’s supporters, who accused the Vatican of promoting a pro-Palestinian agenda.
Look it’s the children’s fault for being Israeli. Mass murder is the only reasonable cause of action.
Why doesn’t everyone get it?
Israeli?
must be opposite day
People are dying on both sides. It isn’t just one side like some of the media makes it out to be. Killing children is wrong always.
You realise there’s a lot more on one side, right? Like, a LOT more?
Killing more children is more wrong. Israel is the one in control of the situation. Israel is the one who has the power to choose peace. if Israel stopped oppressing Palestinians, Palestinians would stop joining Hamas.
I mean, after the Palestinians being genocided, I suspect Israel has created whole new ‘Hamases’ for generations to come. It’s almost as if they wanted to perpetuate violence… Huh.
Ding ding ding! Netanyahu funneled money into Hamas to destabilize Gaza. Israel loves Hamas.
Oh yeah, I’d forgotten about that gem. Thanks for the reminder!

There are people on Lemmy who want you to forget.
Lemmy.ml’s leadership is suppressing information on the genocide in Gaza.
