Pope Benedict has called for the formation of a sovereign Palestinian homeland.
..After arriving at Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's palace in Bethlehem, the Pope said: "The Holy See supports the right of your people to a sovereign Palestinian homeland in the land of your forefathers, secure and at peace with its neighbours, within internationally recognised borders."
Palestinians hope the Pope's one-day visit to the Israeli-occupied West Bank, and to the birthplace of Jesus in particular, will draw attention to their plight under Israeli occupation.
The German-born Pope was welcomed to Bethlehem by Mr Abbas on the third day of a visit to the Holy Land that has been marked by Israeli complaints that he has failed to show enough sympathy for Jewish suffering in the Nazi Holocaust..
How can the Israeli people complain there isn't enough sympathy for the Nazi Holocaust, when they themselves are guilty of doing the same to the Palestinians?
Just unbelievable really... :(
