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.
