I'm simply linking relevant stories to the situation in Gaza, which I and many here on DU find appalling. You don't have to read them if you don't want to. It's a free country!

Gaza.

Which was easy enough to get verified.

You didn't. The end result is that you linked to a false account of what the Pope said.

You know this now. And I don't believe that you have any intention to either correct your post to reflect it, or to delete the post.

But since you posted the link, perhaps you should send YOUR complaints to them

"the situation in Gaza" being "shameful".

Here's the link, knock yourself out:
https://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/speeches/2025/january/documents/20250109-corpo-diplomatico.html

The address mentions violations of human rights in Sudan, the Sahel, the Horn of Africa, Mozambique. Congo, Myanmar, Haiti, Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Syria and Lebanon by name, but not Gaza.

But... spin, spin, spin!

From https://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/speeches/2025/january/documents/20250109-corpo-diplomatico.html

and he does ask that the Palestinian population receive all the aid it needs.

But calling the Israeli hostage situation serious and shameful, and asking for aid to the Palestinian population does not amount to either "stepp[ing] up his recent criticism of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza", or "calling the humanitarian situation in the Palestinian enclave “very serious and shameful”.

But... spin, spin, spin.

And, BTW you clearly know a spin when you don't even happen to see one, as in your previous post. But, maybe it was more of a prediction. As they say, it takes one to know one.

I can walk and chew gum at the same time.

headline and a few paragraphs at the beginning of the article, as per the DU breaking news rules. You call that spin? Or maybe you don't trust NBC news, either way it has nothing to do with me spinning anything I am just calling attention to the story.

You are amplifying the spin that is contained in the article you cited. I know why your source did this: it's click bait to generate profits by feeding manure to its target audiences. It's their business model.

And you are doing it... why?

NBC the liberal media where have I heard that before?

The first-ever Jesuit Pope might have had an earful for Joe Biden about the "shameful" situation in the Gaza Strip, but the addressing the California fires scrubbed the POTUS Italy summit. Their first meeting was quite warm and they shared some laughs. I don't know if the Pope received Confession from Joe Biden.

The RW Likud is the enemy of peace and the Democratic Party. There are many, many Israelis opposed to "Crime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu," to wit:


Israel's first female Attorney-General Mrs. Gali Baharav-Miara is prosecuting Bibi for massive corruption and requested that his wife Sara be investigated for alleged trial interference.
