Pope, Israeli lies and more

The Pope is coming to Palestine, a country under a regime of apartheid and
colonialism. The Zionists are greeting him by insisting that they will
continue to occupy the site of the last supper and insisting that he visit
"Yad Vashem" (a museum exploiting one tragedy to create more holocausts),
and "Mount Herzle" named after the guy who is a key architect of ethnic
cleansing and colonialism here that cost hundreds of thousands of Arab
lives. Christians here (and all other people) have become more and more
active in boycotts, divestment, and sanctions against the Zionist regime.
Meanwhile Palestinian leadership in Ramallah still seems mired in its old
ways of sanctifying pope Abu Mazen. Text of signs here in Bethlehem
initially welcomed the Pope as a guest of Abu Mazen not the guest of
Palestine; this text was changed after some uproar though Abu Mazen's
pictures remained. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine
(PFLP) and many others complained about the unilateral moves and decisions
by Abu Mazen without consulting the Palestinian people (and not just his
key financially connected yes-men from Fatah). PFLP was promptly denied its
financial share from the PLO umbrella (small as it maybe since the PLO was
subsumed to the Palestinian Authority and its corrupt officials).These
issues and problems portray a liberation movement gone awry after Oslo
treacherous agreements. Yet, this does not take away from the justice of
the Palestinian cause or the fact that it is inevitable that truth and
freedom will prevail. Meanwhile we continue here struggling and
sacrificing. Below are glimpses of reality and in particular please note
the plight of youth assassinated and prisoners in "administrative
detention". Maybe the Pope will say something about this continuing
suffering and the lies and mythology that make it all possible.

Israeli military commit crimes and are caught lying (again). This is not
the first time the Israeli army assassinates Children and lie about it. In
this case two young people are shot with live ammunition and Israeli
military said they posed direct threats and that they only used rubber
bullets. Footage and other evidence was then released by Defense of
Children International which shows the military lied

After significant uproar, even the US State Department and CNN had to pay
attention but the arrogant Israeli military is still sticking to its lies
