Give anyone an excuse and they’ll hate the Pope. But such was predicted by Our Lord Himself for those who follow Him.

The Vatican insists that Joseph Ratzinger joined the Hitler Youth only because it was compulsory and did not attend its meetings. He was drafted into an antiaircraft corps in 1943 and trained in the infantry, but deserted in the last months of the war.

Compulsory membership in the Hitler Youth is easily enough confirmed or refuted.And his record in the German Army,one would think,could be established as well.If either of his claims were inaccurate people all the over the world would have seen proof positive of it.I've seen no such proof.

Jews must be trying to get back in the good graces of the Liberal wing of the Democratic party.

More likely danger would be Palestinian zealots masquerading as Israeli zealots.

I don’t believe this article for a minute. The left in Israel is desperate to have religious Jews seen by the world as “zealots.” Not to mention they want to shackle Netanyahu as much as they can. The left there is as bad as the left here.

Reminds me of the joke. Stop me if you've already heard it:

During WW II, a German soldier gets the advantage over a Polish soldier, and just as the German is about to bayonet the Pole, an angel appears and orders him to stop, that he shouldn't kill the Pole. The German asks "Why?" and the angel replies "Some day, he will become Pope!" The German says "Alright, but what's in it for me?" And the angel responds "Afterwards, you'll get to become Pope."

Regards,

It's absurd. The future Pope was very young (14 y/o), impressionable, and living in a nation on the brink of chaos when he made this mistake. He was never an active member of the group and he hasn't advocated anything remotely Nazi in his adult life.

I very much doubt that the Israeli gov’t has arranged such tight security due to concerns about “Jewish zealots”.

Jews are fuxed for a couple of reasons... None of it involves the Pope.

When American Jewish voters vote for the Muslim obama by 74%, it’s pretty much over for Israel.

I'm sure were it not for the Jewish "zealots", the Pope wouldn't have needed security at all. The Times is fabricating a controversy.

Leave it to the anti-Semitic Brits to find a way to put the Jews in a bad light during the popes visit to Israel They scratched their heads on how to cast Jews in a bad light right now. Solution? Blame Jews for doing something that did not happen! The scenario is a hypothetical thought up in someone’s mind!

Leave it to the systemically anti-Semitic Brits to find a way to put the Jews in a bad light. This time on the pope’s visit to Israel, they scratch their heads on how to cast Jews in a bad light right now, just in case Israel might be put in good light by hosting the pope. Solution? Blame Jews for doing something that did not happen! The scenario is a hypothetical thought up in someone’s mind! The Times of UK invents news and then editorializes about its invention.
