Pope Francis’s unfriendly visit

The thread seems to focus largely on the Aramaic/Hebrew comment, which could simply be an off the cuff comment.

Amongst other issues Glick raises, the photo-op at the security fence. The choice of location for prayer, with grafitti comparing the West Bank to the Warsaw Ghetto, problematic. As well as visible grafitti endorsing the BDS movement. I suppose reverential prayer for a wall that has saved thousands of lives isn't inappropriate, but I doubt that was the intent, and the choice of visible grafitti overwhelmed it if it was.

And the ongoing de-Judaizisation of Israel. A Hebrew speaking Jesus is worth comment, but the ongoing palestinian commentary that Jesus was a palestinian, not a Jew, taking replacement theology in an odd direction, not worth commentary.

Not mentioned in the article, the invitation to Abbas and Peres to come to the Vatican to pray for peace. Peres, an odd choice. Invite a figurehead with no political power who will then be out of office, rather than a member of of the government involved in the process. If he doesn't want to socialize with Netanyahu, invite Livni. She's not as far left as Peres, but almost. Personally I think most of this is consistant with a far left world view, which paints palestinians as the downtrodden and Israel as the opressor.

Thank you for reminding us of the real issue raised in the article by Ms. Glick. That’s far more relevant to the world today than whether Jesus spoke Hebrew or Aramaic. I apologize for chasing rabbits!
