Rabbi to pope: Go split Rome
WND ^ | May 12, 2009 | Aaron Klein

JERUSALEM – If Pope Benedict XVI so fervently supports a Palestinian state – which would split sections of Israel – he also should divide Rome, charged the leader of a coalition of more than 350 Israeli rabbinic leaders and pulpit rabbis.

"I was shocked to hear that the first thing the pope had to say when he landed in Israel was that the Holy Land must be divided to make room for a Palestinian state," said Joseph Gerlitzky, rabbi of central Tel Aviv and chairman of the Rabbinical Congress for Peace, which includes some of Israel's most prominent Jewish leaders.

"I suggest that he divide Rome. The Holy Land was promised to the Jewish people and absolutely no human being on this earth has a right to relinquish even one inch of this land," Gerlitzky stated.

Yes, I “jumped” on the Pope because in my view it was outrageous to call for a plaestinian state while standing next to Abbas (1) and apologizing for “offending” Muslims (2) although his lack of condenmnation of a religion that is completely false, blasphemous, and violent towards Christian and Jews is a very big issue too among others.

The State of Israel most certainly has every right to call the shots with respect to it’s defense...my goodness...in a rational world...Israel would have been permitted to wipe away hostile nations and end war by proxy through terrorism.

you are the only one who cared on all my posts (what does that say about you?_but seeing as I see your user name then how would you want to see that seeing as I told you I have had my hand blown off, two other fingers, , tell me you would be so quick to pick up on a stupid little quirk of yours when there are more pressing issues at hand.

You wanted to jump in and say well you spelt a word wrong thinking to yourself how up there you were but instead you have just embarrassed yourself.

Next time when you see a post remember there are more pressing issues than yourself trying to be up there hey.

I expect that from the whack job left not the right which usually has some class and decorum

to think all because I spelt a word wrong by mistake,

get a grip hey and yes I missed a full stop

the majority hey well no a good message accounts for something which I am still waiting from you /

You understood every word even though one word was spelt wrong but instead you thought to yourself to try and make yourself look good and be a school teacher in 5th grade.

Next time think and deliver your message as others do not mind if you make a mistake by spelling a word wrong.

Israel is only relevant because of its religious significance. It is for that reason that the head of the largest Christian organization has a right to offer an opinion that is at least as valid as the collection of rabbi's.

Relative harmony? As long as Jews were good dhimmi, they suffered the equivelnt of Jim Crow laws and high taxes, punctuated by occasional pogroms. When these or migrating JEws were deemed uppity, there was mass slaughter and expulsions.

You should know that there are over a million Arab citizens of Israel.

If I’m unable to understand just exactly what point you’re attempting to make because of how poorly you’ve written your post than it is a legitimate issue. If others aren’t willing to point it out to you that’s their business. I’m not willing to try and decifer a point someone is trying to make when they do so in such a poor manner. Don’t like that I’m critical in this way? Get use to it (especially judging from the way you’ve reacted to my criticism). Spelling alone is not the issue, but I can only assume that you are unable to recognize this fact.

The exapmlies belie your propaganda about Arabs treating Jews well.
So are you ignorant, a post-nationalists, or a theological anti-Zionist writhing in hatred of Israel?

The Jews who voted for Obama don’t know the laws of Kashrut.

Possession is 9/10 of the law in this case. I don’t care if they had control for only 15 minutes. The title deed to the land was given to the Jews by Almighty God. Can you name any power on this earth who is going to take the land from the Israelis? Notice in Ezekiel - 37:21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land.

Actually, I’m having a distinctly difficult time trying to decifer just what point that you’re trying to make with your blatently bad writing. But, I guess you don’t much care about making yourself clear. Given this fact, I think we’re through. You obviously are not going to make an attempt to write more clearly.

I’m sick of it...why can’t a Pope condemn what is scripturally a false prophet, indeed a false religion, that has been blasphemous in its treatment of Jesus Christ...that has threatened to murder the Pope

I'm not sure you really know what you're asking.

Not all Muslims believe that, and even if they did, should the Pope try to exclude them from the eventual mercy of our Father? Are you at all aquainted with the historic criticisms of Catholic meddling in political affairs? Should he not be sensitive of those?

Go ahead and criticise him all you want on his reluctance to get more dirty in mixing the temporal and the spiritual. Teh Pope can take it.

"Just look at the facts. Of 175 Security Council resolutions passed by the U.N. before 1990, 97 of them were directed against Israel. Of 690 General Assembly resolutions before 1990, 429 condemned Israel. The U.N. is obsessed with Israel. ... It's time for the United States to recognize the U.N. is a sham from beginning to end. It's a disgrace that we continue to court this modern-day global Tower of Babel. It's time for us to say goodbye to this dangerous and useless group of power-mad tinhorn dictators."--Joseph Farah

- Islamic terrorism is a global problem...Israel is just one front in that war.

"The title deed to the land was given to the Jews by Almighty God."

Title was passed along with the new and everlasting covenant.

"It is not as though God's word had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.

Question: do you really believe that the Pope should stand next to Barack Obama at Notre Dame? Do you think he should hand Obama an honorary degree?

You can say that not all Muslims embrace Jihad, I'll grant you that perhaps not all do, but their religion is false, blasphemous, and it denies the divinity of Christ. Their religion, from the beginning, waged a war of conquest through the whole Arab Penisula, to India, throughout Asia Minor, through all of North Africa, and into Spain. How Europe Escaped Speaking ArabicFor more on Islam's war on Europe - it does call for death for Christians and Jews...in fact...in their End Time scenario...Muhammed will return with the help of Christ to kill jews...and for martyrdom a la 9/11 is considered a very high honor. Don't you remember the celebrations the Palestinians had upon hearing about the collapse of the twin towers?

Well, what's stopping you, hot dog? Go out and kill some Muslims.

Are you waiting for the Pope to do it for you?
