Pope Reminded that Jesus Lived and Died as a Jew
The evidence of Jews in the Promised Land is overwhelming and undeniable. The same is true about Jesus being a Jew. So when the Catholics start putting baby Jesus in an Arab scarf used by Arabs who are pro-Palestine, someone has to point out how wrong the Catholics are…again.
****************
Following several instances in recent months where Pope Francis appeared to endorse Palestinian narratives, Amichai Chikli, Israel's Minister for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism, issued a strongly worded protest letter to the Pope.
Chikli began his letter: “H.H. Pope Francis, Shalom. It is a well-known fact that Jesus was born in the city of Bethlehem, as described in Chapter 2 of the Gospel according to Matthew: ‘Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king.’”
The minister’s first argument referenced a nativity scene featuring the baby Jesus lying in a manger draped with a Palestinian keffiyeh that was showcased in St. Peter’s Square in Rome, Italy. After significant backlash, the Vatican chose to remove the display shortly later.
