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."
