Eze 37:11 Then He (God) said to me, "Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel; behold, they say, 'Our bones are dried up and our hope has perished. We are completely cut off.'

Eze 37:12 "Therefore prophesy and say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I will open your graves and cause you to come up out of your graves, My people ; and I will bring you into the land of Israel.

Eze 37:13 "Then you will know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves and caused you to come up out of your graves, My people .

ROFL. It's not enough that they pulled your previous post. Here you are again. If you work hard enough at it, maybe you can get yourself banned.

First of all, the letter is woefully mistranslated. Nazione ebraica does not mean "Hebrew Race". It means "Jewish people". The author of the article you link to, who obviously has an ENORMOUS axe to grind, uses loaded English words to translate unobjectionable Italian words.

Second, Bl. Pope Pius XII feared that a massive influx of European Jewry into Israel would destabilize the political situation in the Holy Land. He was asked his opinion and he offered it. He did not "urge" President Roosevelt against the foundation of the State of Israel. If he did, where is the strong, remonstrating language that would entail? The ironically named Eli Wohlgelernter could only come up with one mild caveat expressed by the Pontiff.

Third: has history proved Pius wrong? Is the current situation in the Middle East a stable or humane one for any party?

Fourth: the State of Israel was not established by God. It was established by Israeli political activists, many of whom did not believe in God and were ardent Communists. I doubt any State which offers abortion on demand is "created by God" instead of sinful men.

"God's re-creation of Israel as a Nation"

You don't know the difference between God and the United Nations? Also, Zionism started out as an explicitly atheist and socialistic movement. Didn't know that either, I'd guess, did you?
