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.
Can’t believe I’m siding with the fucking pope
This particular pope has been a huge improvement.
I tend to agree.
I have beef with the whole thing, but he has genuinely been more forward with compassion and trying to curb the worst aspects of it all.
yes.
What about siding with a friend?
Is this a pop culture reference, common saying or something else?
Yes 😄
Even a broken clock is right twice a day
Unless it’s a digital clock. Th n it’s just dead.
Modern clocks have developed the ability to be wrong all the time. Innovation at its best.
