Seeing red

Who the bleep does the Vatican think it is?

That's the trouble, isn't it.

This article portrays the fight from the middle. Both sides have been telling the other what to do. First, vatican condemns terrorism. (this is a good thing.) In the statement it mentions several recent terrorist acts specifically. Second Israel official (provoked by JPost opinion piece) calls Vatican out for not specifically mentioning Israel in attacks. (fair enough, certainly an explanation is reasonable. perhaps the tone could have been better.) Now vatican responds with this. (fairly stupid politically. If you just forgot to mention israel or were really focused on the terror of only the last few days, shutting up would have been an option. Or if you wanted to clarify that you were focused only on the last few days of terror then say that.)

So what is going on? I don't know but like all bloggers can speculate. one option: The Israeli official doesn't speak for all of Israel and neither does the vatican official speak for all of Vatican/church. Both had provocative comments that were their own opinions.

It appears that the israeli defense official statement ticked off at least someone with a mouthpiece at the vatican. They/He felt (wrongly IMHO) that he had to take the issue to another level.

Certainty in my mind that vatican does not think terrorism against Israel is good or ever justified. Probably some in vatican more along a European mindset that we can negotiate our way out of this.

Hope they can patch things up.
