Notice how he doesn’t place any blame in his statement? He doesn’t mention Israel at all. He speaks about Gaza like it’s a natural disaster. It’s vague anti-war populism.
“I am deepenly saddened by what is happening in the Gaza strip”. Why doesn’t he say that Israel is doing a genocide?
“Let the fire cease immediately.” Israel and US have blocked a ceasefire since October 2023.
“Let humanitarian aid be provided to the exhausted civilian population.” Israel has blocked all aid to Gaza since March 2.
“And may all hostages be freed.” Zionist talking point. The hostages are the only bargaining chip that the Palestinians have for a cease fire.
Compare this to what he says about Ukraine.
“I carry in my heart the suffering of the beloved Ukrainian people.” Why didn’t he mention that people live in Gaza? He says that he cares about Ukrainian people. Doesn’t mention the existence of Palestinian people.
The hostages are the only bargaining chip that the Palestinians have for a cease fire.
Honestly, the sad part is that not even that works. Israel has proven it does not even value its own hostages.

He treats Gaza like a natural disaster, meanwhile a contingent of .world users are singing his praises for calling Russia’s invasion of Ukraine Imperialist.
Truly, the new Pope is American…
I noticed that this is a policy change from Pope Francis. Pope Francis had said that the Ukraine war was provoked by NATO expansion and he urged Ukraine to negotiate a ceasefire with Russia. Pope Francis said that Ukraine should have “the courage of the white flag”.
Pope Leo is seemingly blaming the war on Russia. I saw redditors claiming that Pope Leo had called Russia “imperialist”. I think Pope Leo may be a NATO Pope.
Also humanitarian aid is still part of imperialism
sure, but with deepest apologies to Parenti, I prefer the imperialism that feeds hungry children
Yhea, he is a pice of shit. The previous one was not much better tho.
Excommunicate Vance, Biden, and every other Catholic figure that supports israel
As a Catholic I would find this incredibly based.
i’d say this constitutes probably a bit of a walk back from francis’ commitments to palestine, but let’s hope not. francis was calling a priest in occupied palestine like daily i want to say. a good way for leo to show that he intends to keep a similar tempo would be visibly following through on francis’ wish to convert the popemobile in palestine into a mobile health clinic
I think Francis being the first Pope to come from a Global South country (especially one that was once under a far-right military dictatorship) really opened his eyes and made him sympathetic to the suffering of the international proletariat, at least more than his predecessors who were all White Euros. Leo did spend a lot of time in Peru but is still ultimately a Yankee, so I don’t expect much from him.
The lowest possible bar for the burgerpope has been crossed.
Vance killed the last pope for nothing!
This is going to royally piss of the young groyper wing of tradcaths.
Good
They’re all sedevactantists anyways
Yeah sorry, this isn’t any different to the standard ‘anti-war’ Western liberal who wants a ceasefire but refuses to do anything about the actual problem (Israel).
When Borell (the racist europe is a garden guy) has a more radical take, then its not looking good.
ok maybe this burger lover isnt as bad as i expected
oh no, he’s still culpable on the child abuse.
a pope being moderate on palestine is still a bar you’d need a shovel to get under.
Yet the Catholic church is coming up from below
Well when i saw he was american i expected him to be like NUKE THEM! GOD DEMANDS BLOOD!
fair
Remember there’s a lot of Palestinians who are Christians and equally suffering in ongoing genocide, so this is the least funny hatman can do.
woke pope
