Awful… Vatican Cardinal Accuses Israeli Government of Baby-Killing

This ought to set back relations a couple decades.

Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi

Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, President of the Vatican Council for Culture, called Israel baby-killers during an interview this week.
Israel National News reported, via Israel Matsav:

Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, President of the Vatican Council for Culture, commenting on the war between Israel and Hamas, delivered a severe attack on the Jewish people: “I think of the ‘massacre of the innocents’. Children are dying in Gaza, their mothers’ shouts is a perennial cry, a universal cry”.

The Catholic Church high official equated Israel’s operation in Gaza against terror groups with the New Testament story of Herod’s slaughter of Jewish babies in his effort to kill Jesus.

Ravasi, who is one of the most popular Catholic cardinals and the director of the Church’s policy on culture, called Israelis baby-killers in a shameless form of anti-Semitism which subtly accuses the Jewish State of trying to murder the new Jesus, symbolized by the Palestinian people.

And this is the man in charge of culture?
Obviously, Cardinal Ravasi is not cultured enough to understand that Hamas hides its weapons in mosques and schools and fires its rockets indiscriminately at Israeli apartment buildings.
What a disgusting comment.
