I'm an Orthodox Christian. It has just occurred to me that we might lose all of our sacred places in the Holy Land if this hostility by israel continues.

Agree @smallglassbottle desecration of Christian artefacts by Jewish extremists fostered by Israel’s far right Government ( according to the article ) isn’t new

This from April 2023

No respect for the symbols of other peoples religions.

The Pope needs to get himself over to Israel get in Netanyahu's face and sort this out.

Tell him in those exact words.

The Heads of all Christian faiths need to as the Pope is just the head of one
but yes I agree

Yes totally, they all need to stand up for their flock. Everyone needs to stop being scared of Israel!

Don't worry my Parish priest has voiced exactly the same opinion! I imagine the Vatican is coming under a lot of pressure to be much firmer with Israel.

All love to you and yours @MissyB1 in tricky times.

This sounds a little nasty.

I would love for this to work, but I don't think it will

Its not that simple.

The Pope is the head of a country. He can't just get himself over to Israel without an invitation.

He can however, get a load of international Christians together and address the UN.
