Mahmoud Abbas Pope

REPORT: MARXIST POPE DID NOT CALL PALEOSTINIAN KING PIN ABBAS ”AN ANGEL”…….

I trust J.E.Dyer immensely, if she (and also at Israellycool) say that the Catholic pope did not utter those words as reported by the AP and AFP, then I have to retract my report on the incident filed yesterday.

NOTE: He’s still a Marxist though, and loony as well, to hope that Abbas could ever become ”an angel of peace”, it would kind of detract from Mohmed’s unending call for war against the infidel and the Jews.

To summarize, then: Pope Francis had previously commended both Abbas and Peres as “men of peace,” presumably intending papal encouragement for the pursuit of peace.  At the meeting with Abbas on Saturday, the pope gave Abbas a medallion with the image of the Angel of Peace, and commented that Abbas might be, or would have the chance to be, an angel of peace.  He did not say that Abbas is an angel of peace.

Fueled by wire stories from AP and AFP, the mainstream media have been running with a headline that Pope Francis, during a meeting at the Vatican on Saturday 16 May, called Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas “an angel of peace.”

The problem: the pope did not call Abbas — aka the terrorist Abu Mazen — an “angel of peace.”

He did utter the words “angel of peace,” and he suggested that Abbas could or might be one. In the context of the pope’s complete statement about the meeting, the implication was that Abbas could be an angel of peace if he resumed direct negotiations with Israel.

Why did Francis say the words “angel of peace” at all? Because he was making a gift to Abbas of a medallion engraved with an image of the Angel of Peace. The Vatican Insider feature of Italy’s La Stampa has this summary in its English version:

As is tradition with heads of State or of government, Francis presented presented a gift to the Palestinian leader, commenting: “May the angel of peace destroy the evil spirit of war. I thought of you: may you be an angel of peace.” Pope Francis had called Abu Mazen a “man of peace” when he visited Bethlehem in May 2014, just as he called the then Israeli Prime Minister, Shimon Peres, a “man of peace” during his subsequent visit to Jerusalem.

For those who are interested in comparing the original Italian report at La Stampa, it’s here. The same passage has more information about the gift of the medallion.

Jorge Mario Bergoglio ha regalato al leader palestinese, come è sua consuetudine con i Capi di Stato e di Governo, un medaglione con la figura dell’Angelo della Pace, commentando: «L’angelo della pace distrugge lo spirito cattivo della guerra. Ho pensato a lei: che lei possa essere un angelo della pace». Papa Francesco aveva definito Abu Mazen «uomo di pace» durante la visita a Betlemme nel maggio del 2014, così come aveva definito l’allora presidente israeliano Shimon Peres «uomo di pace» nella successiva tappa a Gerusalemme.

  1. With all the Christian Arabs being driven from areas under Abbas’ control, the Pope is acting like a battered housewife. There is no logic in recognizing an Arab State of Palestine given the overt hostility of the Muslim majority to Christians.

    This is especially true today as we witness massacres of Christians throughout Arab lands in turmoil.

    The only place in the Middle East where Christians are truly safe is Israel. You would think the Pope would be more complimentary toward Israel for that. If he is, we’re not hearing it in the drive-by media. For now, all we can assume is that the Pope is behaving like a battered housewife.

    Sincerely,

    1. I think that’s an accurate depiction of the pontiff. Hoping to secure christian sites and continued existence of christians themselves is a mugs game when dealing with IslamoNazis.
