No, what I'm saying is that Aziz was antisemitic shortly after seeing the Pope. I would like the Pope to condemn antisemitism, not just Aziz's antisemitism, but antisemitism in general. My interpretation of the Pope's silence (and he may condemn antisemitism in the future) would be that he has chosen to stay silent on a subject that desparately needs attention. Antisemitism from the Iraqis and the rest of the Islamic world is a given, but it's also on the increase in Europe (France and Belgium are two countries that come to mind). It's a good opening for the Pope to address this problem.

The Pope's ability to tackle Aziz before he left the stage, is limited.
Be patient!
