>> I asked why $millions in Jewish holy books, and Torahs and artifacts... <<

I think it quite telling that the author values Torahs based on their resale value, don't you?

>> John Paul added more insult on his trip by insisting that the ambulance following him there not have the Jewish Star on it <<

Perhaps here lies the seed of the lie: I could certainly understand the Pope being careful to not have a Jewish star on an ambulance which would follow him deep into Palestinian territory. OTOH, it may well be pure lie.

Jeruselum is not "deep into Palestinian terriroty". Even before the '67 war it was a divided city, half in Jordan, half in Israel. Your basic point is well taken though, as the top of the wailling wall, which the pope visited, is a Mosque that has been the source of violance for those visiting the wall in the past.

I seem to recall this "controversy", but at the time no one would call it the inverted blood libel that it was.

Look at photos of Karl Votilya. The man obviously had a healthy measure of Ashkenazi blood in him to begin with. He never had an ounce of malice toward Judah. The whole thing is an ugly fabrication.

So sick that they would try to dredge it up again. Especially after this man did so much to put the Roman Catholic Church and the Judaic Religion firmly on the same side.
