“Our hope for Christmas is that Jerusalem not only becomes the capital of two nations, but also a model for the world, of harmony and coexistence of the three monotheistic religions.”

The Vatican Bishop in Jerusalem ignore that Islam and the Nazis destroyed Synagogues.

This was the Christmas message form Catholic Church’s top representative in the Middle East – Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, Fouad Twal.

The BBC states that he “made his traditional call for peace:.

“During this Christmas season, may the sound of the bells of our churches drown the noise of weapons in our wounded Middle East,” Twal said.

My comment:

The Catholic Bishop gave a call for war in his Christmas message. Because there is peace in Jerusalem, as long as this city is under control of the democratic government of Israel.

The Habad Synagogue was destroyed by Muslims, when Jerusalem was occupied by Jordan from 1948 to 1967.

What the Vatican approved Bishop is trying to do, is to being East Jerusalem back under Islamic occupation.

Last time Islam controlled this part of Jewish land, generals from Kingdom of Jordan burned down and destroyed more than 50 synagogues in the city.  The damage that was done  to Jewish property was only equal to hooliganism of Krystal night in Berlin on November 9th 1938.

The neo-Nazis from Jordan who occupied Jerusalem made East Jerusalem as “Juderein” as Nazi-Germany. From 1948 to 1967, East Jerusalem was a “Jew free zone”. Jews were not allow to enter and pray at the holiest sites of Judaism.

Twal,is a Palestinian citizen of Jordan. His Christmas message from the Catholic Bishop is full of lies and deception. Its a message inspired by United Nations, not the gospel.

The ruins of the Hurva Synagogue destroyed by Muslims in the years before liberation of Jerusalem in 1967.
