Posted in: Vatican official: Gaza resembles 'concentration camp'

Where was the Vatican moral outrage three years ago,when Hamas began firing missiles from Gaza into southern Israel? Where is the Vatican criticism of Egypt's tight closure of its border with Gaza? (Nevernind that Egypt has not been the target of Hamas missiles and rocket-propelled grenades.) Nobody can dispute that providence continues to deal the Palestinians one bad hand after another. But until Palestinian leaders stop pretending that none of it is their fault, they will continue to deprive future generations of the same sort of life every Israeli wishes for his or her own children. The Vatican's tacit approval of violence directed at Israel is one more brick in the wall that separates truth from reality.
