ROME — Pope Francis has called out Israel for what he sees as its “domineering tendency” in Lebanon and Gaza, insisting its response to attacks has been “disproportionate.” 
Over the weekend the pontiff returned to Rome from Belgium and aboard the flight was asked whether he thinks Israel “has perhaps gone too far” in its dealings with Lebanon and Gaza, specifically mentioning the force used in the targeted assassination of Hassan Nasrallah, the secretary-general of Hezbollah. 
“The defense must always be proportionate to the attack,” he continued. “When there is something disproportionate, a dominating tendency that goes beyond morality is evident.”

For some reason, Israel is the only country on earth that’s held to a “proportionality” standard in war.

    Let’s pay the Gazans to go and launch rockets at Vatican City for a week and see how he feels about it.

    This marxist pope can’t even get his religion right but now he is some sort of military strategist/thinker. This idiot has a lot to do with the sorry state of affairs the world is in.

    Apparently the atheist a-hole antipope has never noticed the lack of proportionality (population, geographic area, proportion of killed to total inhabitants) between Israel and its enemies, in particular when it is attacked.

    Listen up IDF...
The Ayatollahs are hiding out at the Vatican.
It’s the only place they can feel safe.
If not the Ayatollahs, then the poop.

    Why hasn’t this fraud of a pope communist taken in gazanian refugees into the country of Vatican City? I believe he is being immoral.

    Pope Francis has called out Israel for what he sees as its “domineering tendency” in Lebanon and Gaza, insisting its response to attacks has been “disproportionate.” The curious thing I notice about "liberal" Catholics--Francis among them--is that they're the most likely to be anti-Semitic.
 
To: Mr. Mojo
    “The defense must always be proportionate to the attack,”
The defense must be at least 100% of the effort necessary.

    Anything and everything about ‘climate change’, foreign and immigration policy, welcoming transgenders and homosexuals, etc, but absolutely nothing about sin, abortion, the need for repentance, hell, Divine judgment, massive secularism and atheism, etc. All things a pope should be concerned with. Something is dreadfully wrong here.

    Once he proved himself an idiot, he could have stopped, but, no, he goes on and on, down the “stupid” road.
