No, I don't. I said perhaps they are blameless.

Please indicate how they could be blamed. I read the article regarding Israel's offer and charity before I read this one, so it seems to me that to criticize them in this circumstance is completely unfair.

Well, difficult as this to accept, maybe it really is the case that they refused the help, minus the military attachment. And, maybe there was not sufficient reason to do so.

Probably not, but that's why I said "perhaps they are blameless." I really don't know, and neither does anyone else.

That the Vatican didn't even inform itself about the facts before rushing to condemn Israel speaks volumes. Anti-semitism is alive and well, unfortunately.

It's not the first time the Vatican has been "misinformed".
