1. Yeah right.
yariv   (01.08.09)
Jews were firing rockets at German children. Yeah right.
2. Cardinal Renato Martino
Jane   (01.07.09)
What more can you expect of the "Peace and Justice" (hahahaha) minister of the Vatican? Benedict is bringing back the days before John Paul and John XXIII. Benedict has at his hand a minister who obviously parallels his views, given the it is Benedict himself who would confer sainthood on the noxious Pius. Actually, doesn't Iran also have some kind of "Peace and Justice" minister?
3. Vatican vs jews
Lednah ,   Europe   (01.08.09)
The Vatican was an enemy of the jews for 2000 years and during WWII war they helped Hitler.
4. Mel Gibson must be so proud!

5. The Cardinal & the Jews - what else?
Jan   (01.08.09)
I think that Yigal Palmor is mistaken criticizing the Cardinal. Cardinals have a long ,memorable history of concentration camps, ghettos, alwaysblessed by the Vatican and it's Popes.
6. Cardinal Sin And Paedophile Priests
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (01.08.09)
I curse you and your ilk,may the moslems pray outside every cathedral and harass you inshallah.
7. Nazi Camps? Vatican Should Know
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (01.08.09)
I have your number.Catholic church is the Devil.What about the holy priest who desecrated the memorial of Yitzhak Rabin z"l in New Zealand?The days of the Vatican are numbered,our friends the muslims are on the march.
8. He's right: Gaza is a Nazi camp, full of Islamo-Fascists!
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (01.08.09)
9. What do you expect from concentration camp
Nash ,   UK   (01.08.09)
Rockets not flowers. Get real Israel, the prisoners will riot, eventually
10. Concentration camp.
Ray ,   US   (01.08.09)
Definition of a concentration camp : 1. A camp where civilians, political prisoners, and sometimes prisoners of war are detained and confined, typically under harsh conditions. 2. A place or situation characterized by extremely harsh conditions. I think that sounds like Gaza today.
11. ROME KNOWS VERY WELL ABOUT CONCENTRATION CAMPS.
ALSO KNOWS THE DIFF ,   ..............DACON9   (01.08.09)
12. POOP,TAKE OFF YOUR CROSS THEN VISIT
..............DACON9   (01.08.09)
13. Vatican has never got it right
Steve ,   Atlanta USA   (01.08.09)
When real concentration camps existed during WWII, the Vatican didn't see them or pretended they didn't exist. Now, when camps don't exist, the Vatican accuses Jews of creating them.
14. Gaza Like Nazi Camp,Vatican Like
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (01.08.09)
Whorehouse...
15. The Pope would know all about concentration camps...
Jordan   (01.08.09)
... it was his top subject in Hitler Youth.
16. The Existence Of Israel Confirms The
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (01.08.09)
Catholic religion to be a totally false blasphemy,no wonder the Vatican is angry.
17. Someone warn the "Sunday people" they're next
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (01.08.09)
I'd like to give this fool Cardinal the benefit of the doubt that his attitude isn't rooted in classic anti-Semitism. But if he thinks his concern over Gaza will win him any points with the people Israel is fighting, he's got another thing coming. Jihadists have made clear that first they're coming for the "Saturday people" - that's Jews - then they're coming for the "Sunday people" - that's Christians. They've also made clear that "Romiya" (Rome) is in their sights. Perhaps he should consider why Christians in Gaza are being attacked.
18. It's not based on Hamas propaganda
Steve   (01.08.09)
It is based on centuries of church inspired Jew-hatred and the age-old canard of deicide. Vatican held for centuries, the Jews murdered God. Truth be known, it still does.
19. Priest defile Rabin's Memorial ?
Gad ,   Israel   (01.08.09)
Wow , A Cathohlic Cardinal says something bad about Jews . What a surprise ! Did he just leave the bar after a couple of shots . Wouldn't surpriseme if he didn't stop off at the YMCA while he was at it . He probaly gave the go-ahead to defile Rabin's Memorial in New Zealand . Sick bunch of a Flocks.............
20. I Pray For The Day,Coming Soon
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (01.08.09)
When the vatican will be the largest Mosque in Europe,G-d willing.
21. What is wrong with these morons?
Rachel ,   USA   (01.08.09)
Is it just anti-Semitism, or are they actually fools enough to think they'll be able to sacrifice the Jew in order to protect themselves? They should take a lesson from history: the life of the dhimmi is worse than no life at all. Grow a spine, you worthless pukes; stand up for Israel before it's too late for yourselves.
22. Vatican,Bunch Of Idol Worshippers
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (01.08.09)
Mess with us at your peril..this aint 1939
23. Agree with 17 Raymond...
Efroim ,   Washington DC   (01.08.09)
The Sunday folks are indeed next inline. They just dont know it yet. It will be too late when they wake up. Just like 9/11 . They were napping in USA.
24. To The Vatican: You Are Yesterdays'
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (01.08.09)
News,you had your 15 minutes of flame and glory ,on the blood of millions of saintly innocents.We did not kill your G-d,you killed G-d.Time for you and your fake beliefs to disappear in to the trash can of History,you are living on borrowed time.Justice day is near,the Vatican will look lovely with a high Minaret and the flag of Islam flying high.
25. The Pope does not know what he is talking about!!!!
Raven ,   Bisbee, USA   (01.08.09)
IDF please do not stop now!
26. Cancel Pope's Visit
Liliane ,   Brighton, UK   (01.08.09)
The Pope's visit sholuld be cancelled.
27. Peace
natalie   (01.08.09)
I guess the war should end and we should come back on table to talk.
28. The Vatican's raison d'etre: the fall of Jerusalem in 70CE
Jake   (01.08.09)
when the 2nd Temple and Jerusalem were destroyed by the Romans, and the period of the Jewish Exile formally began. The Roman Catholic Church fathers interpreted this as a sign from God via his Roman instrument that the Jews, in their rejection of Christ, became a rejected and accursed people, and through their own downfall, God's favor and promises were transferred to the Church, the New Israel. When Herzl went to consult the Pope to seek his assistance in establishing a Jewish State, the Pope replied "The Jews do not recognize Christ, therefore I cannot recognize the Jewish people". However, the Pope reassured him that if the Jewish people would recognize Christ, there would be Catholic priests ready and waiting at the gates of Palestine to welcome the Jews with baptism.
29. To Lawrence #20, daft comments
Jake   (01.08.09)
Jews have mourned the transformation of the Machpelah in Hebron and Temple Mount in Jerusalem into mosques and Islamic shrines for the last 1300 years. We do need more sites around the world to be turned into mosques with their thundering muezzins, thank you very much.
30. #10. If you sometimes fidget, you must have ADD
Jake   (01.08.09)
by your rationale, because one of the symptoms of ADD is fidgeting. Get real!
