If the Pope wants to take down the wall, then let him also live there - without the Swiss Guard.

Can a pope be impeached?

I don't think so. Although historically a good many of them have been murdered, and quite a number have been removed from office by kings, emperors or mobs.

Palestinians, backed by the World Court, say it is an illegal construction which steals and divides their land.

To the Palestinians, a fence placed anywhere west of the Jordan divides their land as they do not recognize the existence of a State of Israel.

Reagan dreamed of a day the world could be free of nuclear weapons. I don't remember questions of impeachment about that. Hmmm, maybe expressing a hope that something may possibly happen IF certain other things happen is a little different than simply saying "do it now".

Pope Benedict on Wednesday said the fortified Israeli wall could be taken down, if ....

"First, though, it is necessary to" .....

Sounds a lot different from what the title alone and some peoples comments imply.

No offense, but it’s very easy to live in a self-contained state, heavily guarded with tons of personal security, lots of money, wanting nothing, apparently not bound by a vow of poverty,

to jet in to a foreign land, and start pontificating hyperboles and snappy one-liners about the walls around peoples’ hearts. A gross oversimplification that he doesn’t personally have to deal with at all. As he jets back out to the safety and security of the Vatican.

"My earnest wish for you, the people of Palestine, is that this will happen soon," he said, before returning to Jerusalem and continuing a week-long tour of the Holy Land.

The people of Palestine? Was he referring to the Palestinians? The ones responsible for creating the problems in Israel in the first place?

Pope Benedict on Wednesday said the fortified Israeli wall dividing Bethlehem from Jerusalem could be taken down, if Israel and the Palestinians could remove the walls around their hearts.

Muslims have no hearts, unless they renounce evil and embrace Jesus Christ.

I'd love to see the Pope endure suicide bombers. He lives as pampered as any Roman Emperor. There are no terrorists in the Vatican.

Benedict started out so well by speaking the truth about Islam conquering by the sword 4 years ago. Then the Muzzies went hog wild. Unfortunately instead of reiterating that truth, he has been apologizing to the Satanic hoard ever since. Why? Does he not realize that within 50 years Europe will be majority Muslim? why does he not take on Islam and call European Christians to task for not having enough children to thwart the Muslim infestation of the West?

The world needs Benedict to view Islam the same way as John Paul II viewed Communism—as an existential threat to the free world.

No, but G-d can remove his hand from him. I hope this does not happen, and that G-d keep his eyes open.

The Muslims are slowly expelling the Christians from Bethlehem and the Pope is playing lets invent a reality.
I understand that this is very Jesus like and all, but I live in the real world where the Romans were pagan occupiers ethnically cleansing Jews and the Muslims wish to kill us.
