Thank you for reading us. I think that the use of the Pope with the crucifix is a little bit over the top.

"No hay que confundir a Judas con los pobres"... ni al Vaticano con la Iglesia Católica. Do not take Judas for a poor man, nor the Vatican for the Cat. Church.

Yes, the Pope being inserted there is over the top. Unfortunately many people can no longer distinguish between the Vatican secretary of state nor the Pope's personal feelings.

I don't see anything the pope has said which implies Israel is being disproportionate in it's response.

"I take advantage of the opportunity to reaffirm the right of the Lebanese to the integrity and sovereignty of their country, the right of Israelis to live in peace in their state, and the right of Palestinians to a free and sovereign homeland.

I feel, moreover, especially close to defenseless civilian populations, unjustly stricken in a conflict in which they are no more than victims: both those of Galilee, obliged to live in shelters, as well as the great multitude of Lebanese, who once more, see their country destroyed, and have to leave everything behind to try to save themselves in another place. "

Thanks for helping et the word out about the anti-semitism among the left wing in Spain, I posted on this recently as well, I can't wait for the next Spanish election and can only hope and pray that the Socialist Gov't gets the boot.

Zapatero looks like Mephisto in my opinion.
