The Vatican newspaper has denounced what it called a decision by the IDF to deny emergency help to disaster victims in Sri Lanka.
Calling for "a radical and dramatic change of perspective" among people "too often preoccupied with making war," L'Osservatore Romano singled out Israeli military leaders for declining a request for emergency medical help.
Contrary to the Vatican report, an Israeli plane carrying 80 tons of food and medical supplies worth $100,000 was set to depart for Sri Lanka Wednesday morning. At the request of the Sri Lankan Foreign Ministry, a team of some 150 Israeli medical and security personnel aborted their planned trip to the island nation Tuesday night.
The Vatican paper observed that in what "should be a time for unconditional solidarity," some world leaders seem incapable of escaping a "small-minded approach that restricts their horizons."
The fact that the devastation swept across different societies, cultures, and nations should help to reinforce the universal perspective, the paper suggested. (Jerusalem Post staff and agencies)
If it survives, it'll be there soon. I admit why the religion forum is the refuge for contentious issues is beyond me.
God bless the Pope and the Holy See.
They are right in this.
But I read that the IDF have been barred from assisting for fear of espionage. I read it this morning on the Net. I'll see if I can find the article and post it.
I whine and name-call like you? Gee, I didn't realize. Any examples from which I may learn, or perhaps defend?
You have made some very nasty allegations against Israel and Jews on several threads in the past days. Are you going to back them up or are you a drive by chicken shit poster?
"Who writes this stuff?"
L'Osservatore Romano - Ex-Cattedra.
And right they are.
From what I read this morning Sri Lankans authorities had rejected help from some IDF members. Israel rejected this rejection and refused to allow medical and other humanitarian aid. Israel insisted that the entire Israeli convoy had to be allowed as it was. And that's where the problems started.
So, I agree with the Osservatore Romano in that Sri Lankans authority have the right to allow only those they deem trustworthy. Israel rejected this offer.
You have misinformation, but it seems you want to believe the lies........so be it.
I will post what I read if I can find it.
Let's face it, they did not want to upset their muslim population. That is what this is all about.
Thanks in advance.
Where did you see that the POPE wrote this? Where? All we know is that some writer wrote this. Until you post evidence of this suspicion of espionage, then I think you are FULL OF IT.
You just make up allegations as you go. Should aid from the U.S. be refused as we spy on others as well?
COuld you please quit acting like a thread nanny? Thanks in advance.
If you feel the need to use profanity to get your point across, maybe you should reconsider posting until you get your emotions under control.
Grow up.
Just go whine to the mods.
The poster that I was swearing at (and obviously offending your Victorian sensibilities) has been making accusations agasint Isarael and Jews afro several days now with no proof nor has he backed up any of his claims. Here...would this be better for you:
Chicken sh!t.
:)
Maybe you should take your attempt at moral superiority and shove it where the sun doesn't shine!
It would be dad...
Just go whine to the mods.
I didn't whine to the mods, I took the issue to you in hopes that you would conform your self to the rules of the board. If you feel that the prohibitions against profanity and the rest are inappropriate, I suggest you whine to the mods and get a waver for your posts.

Talk about your situational ethics...
Chicken sh!t.
Yes, thank you.
