This pope does have balls.
Sorry but he is talking out of both sides of his mouth.
He shows 0 respect or support to the one country in the middle east that protects Christians and that is Israel. It is the one place a Christian can feel safe at least from being persecuted for their belief.
Obviously the argument is that hey, Palestine blah blah, but Palestine = Hamas, if they get rid of that terror group you have a two state solution yesterday, but the palestinians using their radical islam isis style thinking would rather live with hamas than gain real freedom and rights.
The pope has the power to call the palestinaians out on this, he has the power to talk on this but instead he cowers like the rest and stabs the back of the country that is a safe heaven for the followers of jesus.
Ironically, Israel is the safest place for muslims as well lol 2 million live within its borders without worrying about some sharia court chopping their head off.
