Pope Francis Wrongly Accused

by Ariadna Theokopoulos on May 21, 2015

Netanyahu’s speechwriter and adviser on Christianity, Dror Eydar, has accused the pope of attempting to nail the entire Jewish people to the cross.

Pope Francis’ cross is tactfully tucked under his “obi,”out of sight, when in cross-hating company

Bibi Advisor Accuses Pope Francis of ‘Nailing Entire Jewish People to the Cross’
In an open letter to Pope Francis published in U.S. billionaire Sheldon Adelson’s newspaper, Hayom, Netanyahu’s speechwriter and adviser on Christian affairs, Dror Eydar, accuses Pope Francis of attempting to “ to nail the entire Jewish people to the cross” through the Vatican’s act of recognizing the (phantomatic) “state of Palestine.

Forgoing the respectful form of address which Benjamin Netanyahu himself used in welcoming Pope Francis (“Hod K’dushat’cha” – Your Holiness) to Israel last year, Eydar’s “Open letter to Pope Francis” makes clear to Hebrew readers of the paper, exactly where the Pontiff and the Catholic Church as a whole, should stand in their estimation; he calls Pope Francis “Mister Pope”….

“Adoni Ha’Afifyor” [“Mr. Pope”], you are hostages to Islam, and, like many others in the West, think that if you just sacrifice the Jews, it [Islam] will leave you alone.”

In Eydar’s view, “What Islam is doing to Christianity today, Christianity did to the Jews for centuries.”

“Generation after generation, you blamed us for the crucifixion and death of your savior and forced us to feel his pain. What was anti-Semitism if not a forced return to the cross? A single Jew was crucified in Jerusalem at the start of the first millennium, and for the 2,000 years since, an entire people has been crucified all over the world.”

At this point, Eydar implicates the Palestinian people, and, by extension, the Pope, in a mirror-image version of one of history’s more ancient libels:

“Mr. Pope, establishing a Palestinian state on the Samarian hills [the West Bank] in the heart of the historic Land of Israel, is the latest attempt to nail the entire Jewish people to the cross.”

He warns to Pope Francis about the treatment he says Christians in Muslim-ruled lands can expect from the Islamic caliphate which, Eydar maintains, will immediately occupy the West Bank if Israel agrees to compromise with the Palestinians:

“… Christians will go on being murdered, raped, and forcibly converted to Islam. Your decision [the Vatican-Palestinian treaty] will pave the way for the disgrace.”

Eydar boasts of a PhD in Hebrew literature and is, in the words of Israel Hayom, “an expert in Jewish thought,” which I guess qualifies him as an expert in “Christian thought” as well. Don’t ask yourself, “What would Jesus say?” Ask Eydar. He’ll tell you that Jesus was a zionist avant la lettre:

“If we were to go back 2,000 years to the time of the Roman rule and ask Jesus to whom this country belongs, he would simply refer us to the verses of promise in the Bible, such as God’s promise to Abraham, the greatest believer: ‘For all the land that you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever” (Genesis 13:16).’”

All that aside, Pope Francis is wrongly accused. Look at the photo at the top. The Pope is hiding his cross! Can there be a more menorah-whipped Pope? Whatever Pope Francis nattered on about the so-called “two state” is not something to hold against him. If you see someone walking his dog and the dog relieves itself on your lawn, do you yell at the dog? Take it up with the Pope’s immediate handler, Rabbi Skorka, or with his superiors in the Jewish “Left-ish.”
