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."

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.

It would be pretty sweet if Jews killed the Pope.

Madonna is reportedly asking the Pope to go to Gaza.

That sounds noble at first glance but let's remember what Scripture warns us.

Jesus said,
"You must not test the Lord your God." Matthew 4:7 (NLT)

Publicly urging a spiritual leader to walk straight into one of the most volatile war zones on earth isn't just risky.

It's tempting fate and using faith as a stunt. Scripture makes it clear. We're not called to demand proof of God's protection through reckless acts.

Faith is not a dare.

And I thought I'd heard all the dumbest things that could possibly said on these pages.

If this Pope thought it would help for him to go to Gaza, I have no doubt he would go.

Most of Jesus' 12 disciples died alone in cruel, horrible deaths in foreign lands for speaking of peace and love. Crucified upside down, dragged to death by a chariot, run through with a Brahman spear, flogged to death, beheaded... when all they would have had to say was, "hey, just kidding, I take it back, we all that stuff up, I'll just be going now."

But they didn't they died for the Word.

Trump matches ALL of the Dozens of specific descriptions in your bible of the Man of Sin, yet you follow him like a sheep.

Corky,

So you don't like my post but say nothing to Snoofy hoping Jews kill the Pope.

Snoofy doesn't claim to be a Christian in bold type on these pages... and then constantly misunderstand what Christianity is about.

Sad though, that you aren't able to defend against what I said, apparently because it's true.

"The wicked mind goeth where no man pursueth." [sic].

If there was a nefarious Israeli plot to unalive Pope Leo, the Mossad would name it Operation Judas Iscariot.

The Swiss Guard will certainly be challenged to protect the Pontiff in Israel. Years ago the training curriculum for these young men included boxing and judo, on top of the standard law-enforcement, firearms, and bodyguard instruction.

Corky,

"If this Pope thought it would help for him to go to Gaza, I have no doubt he would go"

That's not how leadership works. The Pope's travel decisions are based on logistics, security, and political implications and not just "would he want to."

He has a much bigger set of obligations to even consider putting himself in danger.

BJ... that's not what you said in your #6.

You said that it would be, "using faith as a stunt.".

"If this Pope thought it would help for him to go to Gaza, I have no doubt he would go."

Is what I said, which would include the considerations you now list.

He obviously thinks it isn't the right thing him to do at the moment, or he would prolly go.

But he's not stopped out of fear, only out of practicality.

And if and when he does go, it won't be "using faith as a stunt", it will be done in real faith.... like the disciples showed when they went across the nations preaching the Gospel, without fear of consequences.

Israel is Secular.

Religion has little to do with the Zionist Endeavor.

They are EthnoBigots.

It's really that simple.

They hate Arabs and Muslims.

Full Stop.

America backs everything they do.

Full Stop.

Corky,

Not to mention Madonna thinking so highly of herself she would even entertain the idea of giving the Pope advice.

These rich entertainers. Some haven't lived in reality for decades.

Her reality is totally her own world with fans and yes men surrounding her.

If the pope goes to Gaza and gets his House of Whoville blown off they'll just replace him with the next pedo.
