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.

He said nothing, however, of the suffering of Gaza's 3,000 Christians since Hamas took over that territory in 2007. Benedict might well have decried the many bombings, shootings and other Islamist attacks against Gazan Christian establishments, the brutal murder of the territory's only Bible-store owner, or the regular intimidation and persecution of Christians there. His solidarity with Gazan Christians might have given them some much-needed strength.
Benedict, speaking from Bethlehem the site of rampant Muslim persecution of Christians did not once renounce the Islamic violence there, either. Instead, the pope stood beside Abbas as the Palestinian leader deceptively pointed to a concrete separation barrier in Bethlehem and blamed that barrier, as well as Israeli "occupation," for the plight of Christians.

I’m not catholic nor very religious but it seems the Pope is getting quite an hard time of many Jews over there .
Why?
They were mad because he said killed and not murdered
They were upset because he said millions instead of 6millions
sounds ot me they are just trying to pick him apart, maybe they should have done this to bozo the clown when he went over there and pout his false face on at the wall

I think it is outrageous that the Catholic Church has decided it is going demand a “palestinian state” - why don’t we demand the Arab sqatters go back to their respective countries...of Syria, Jordan, Egypt, etc...or take the original Palestinian state...Israel. The Pope’s Islam Apology Tour is really disgusting and embarassing..

Point well made by the good Rabbi. My take? Nuke Iran.

This is all quite unhelpful. Once again the west busies itself with infighting while Islam gains strength.

Ummm, he could have responded that they already have. Vatican City (an independent country) is situated in the city of Rome.

The Pope is a moral force but has little say in the future of Israel one way or the other. Obama is going to cram their future down their throats for them whether they like it or not.

The Pope does need to get a hard time...he should have demanded that the Muslims return Christian lands in Asia Minor. He’s just a tool for Islamic Propaganda..

Go to tell that to the Catholic Church...how unhelpful is it when you visit the birthplace of Christ...silent on the persecution...or the fact that conversion to Christianity is punishable by death...and then you tell Israel to give jihadists a state...to give away God’s real estate to a false...militant religion...Islam!
