Madonna has called on Pope Leo to travel to Gaza amid the ongoing genocide, asking him to "bring your light to the children before it's too late. As a mother, I cannot bear to watch their suffering. The children of the world belong to everyone. You are the only one of us who cannot be denied entry. There is no more time. Please say you will go. Love, Madonna."

  • Pope Leo has been outspoken critic of the IDF onslaught on the Palestinian people. During a Mass for the Jubilee of Young People in Rome last week, Pope Leo expressed solidarity for Palestinian children who are suffering the hands of the IDF. The late Pope Francis maintained daily contact with Gaza City's Holy Family Church before his death, the parish priest of the region's only Catholic church.

    According to the IPC, the worst-case scenario of famine is currently playing out in the Gaza Strip. IDF attacks and displacement have intensified, and access to food and other essential items and services has plummeted to unprecedented levels. Source: IPC Alert . According to the New York Times, since 7 Oct 2023 the IDF has created an army of child amputees and orphans in the Gaza Strip. The IDF death toll of Palestinians is now 61,499, mostly women and children, and 153,575 maimed or wounded. An international arrest warrant for crimes against humanity issued by the ICC remains active for Benjamin Netanyahu. An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. https://english.wafa.ps/image/NewsThumbImg/Default/5e1dacb8-bc65-496e-a673-0d488d97eede.jpeg

    AIPAC will disapprove of Madonna's plea for the first ever American Pope to help Palestinians. Madonna will be accused of being a "Hamas lover" (whatever that means) and pilloried as an antisemite, like poor Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic NYC mayoral candidate.

    Volodomir Zelensky, the President of Ukraine and an Ashkenazi Jew, leading a country undergoing a brutal Nakba led by Vladimir Putin, offered to help Palestinians being slaughtered in the Gaza Strip. President Zelensky, a true mensch, also supports a Two-state solution. Source: www.middleeastmonitor.com

    Australia PM Anthony Albanese has accused Benjamin Netanyahu of being "in denial" over the consequences of the Nakba in Gaza. He announced his country would recognize a Palestinian state at the UNGA in September, following similar moves by the UK, France, and Canada. Albanese said frustration with the Likud junta had played a role in the move, saying Australians "want to see the killing stop." The AIPAC analog in the land "down under," the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, called Australian recognition of Palestine a "betrayal." Link: BBC.com. There are more child amputees in Gaza than anywhere else in the world. Crippling a nation of people by creating amputees diminishes their ability to protest, fight back as soldiers, or even just eke out a meager living in the gigantic ghetto known as the Gaza Strip.

    Hardworking Australian and American taxpayers are sick and tired of funding Israel's ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
