The Popular Resistance Committees (PRC) organized massive demonstration at the Rafah border crossing on Thursday in solidarity with protesters who have been holding a sit-in on the other side of the border the last five days.

PRC spokesperson Abu Mujahid told reporters at the demonstration that the group is demanding that Egypt open the crossing unconditionally. He said the closure was a permanently. He said the crossing should be open, specifically, for medical patients, the injured, students, and for shipments of medicine and construction materials.

He also praised the international solidarity advocates sitting in on the opposite side of the border, some of whom are on hunger strike.

Twenty-six Egyptians and foreign nationals have been camped out at the crossing, including a handful of American activists who reportedly began a hunger strike on Tuesday afternoon.

The protest was initiated by four French activists, three Americans, two Egyptian journalists and an Italian. Another German woman, who is married to a Palestinian and Gaza, along with her six children, joined the protest seeking to support her husband.

On Monday, a Palestinian-Belgian man joined the protest carrying insulin for his daughter, sick with diabetes, who is living in Gaza; he has not seen her in years. A Palestinian-Swedish family of ten also joined the protest.

The Rafah crossing has been closed since Hamas took full control of Gaza in June 2007.

Israel shut its border crossings with the Gaza Strip on Tuesday in what response to a rocket attack a day earlier that further strained a ceasefire. Along its border with the Gaza Strip, Egypt opened the Rafah crossing on Tuesday for three days for the limited passage of people, such as Palestinians stranded in Egypt and Gazans seeking medical treatment abroad.

My comment:

«Two days ago, more than 40 humanitarian agencies including the United Nations have urged Israel to lift its crippling blockade of Gaza».

This is not my words, but a typical headline from global media. This one is from Australian ABC News.

What do you expect of global media. Its always Israel who is the culprit. Always. Despite that Hamas has fired more than 212 rockets into Israel after the «cease fire» that ended the Gaza war, Israel is expected to open the borders with Gaza.

Let me ask one question: How many rockets have Hamas fired south wards, into Egypt?

If the answer is none, you should ask your self why?

Egypt has kept its Rafah border crossing with Gaza closed since Hamas took control over Gaza in a bloody military operation.

Muslim against Muslim. But since its hate against the Jews and the Jewish nation that drives the Global media and so-called aid and humanitarian organization, they will not pay to much attention to Egypt. Neither will they tell the truth.

You might have forgotten, that Islamic terrorist blew up the border fence between Egypt and Gaza.

The Pope wants Israel to remove their security fence. But Rome does not speak much about Egypt.

Why do Egypt feel the need to have such a fence? Should not leftists, the Pope of Rome and World Council of Churches (WCC) have demanded this fence to be «demolished», and Egypt be forced to stop being such an «Apartheid» state?

If Egypt feels the need to have such a fence to protect it self against Radical Islam, why should the World deny Israel ´s right to put up a similar fence?

Catholics in Gaza: «Jerusalem is occupied»

pope_mosque1 — Rome and Islam have both agreed that the God of the Bible is wrong in regards to the City of David and the restoration of Israel.

Roman Catholics in the Gaza Strip are having mixed feelings about Pope Benedict XVI and his upcoming visit to Israel. – We’ll tell him that this is not the right moment to come and visit the holy places, while Jerusalem is occupied, says Father Manuel Mussalem

While some are angry that the Pope will not be visiting Gaza on his visit, others are dubious that his visit to the region will change anything.

Christians in Gaza have felt the effects of an Israeli blockade on the region since Islamist group Hamas took over the territory in 2007. Earlier this year Gaza was the scene of a short but intense military campaign by Israel in response to Hamas rocket attacks.

There is only one Catholic church in Gaza, which has around 200 members. The leader of the church, Father Manuel Mussalem, said:
– We will ask him [the Pope] why he came, what he intends on saying to the Christians, the Jews, the Muslims and why he isn’t coming to Gaza, reports AFP.

Around 2,500 Christians live in Gaza amongst a population of 1.5 million Muslims. Dozens of Christians left the territory of Gaza following the rise to power of Hamas in the area. Those that remain have said the Pope, who wants to encourage believers to stay in the Holy Land, should have visited Gaza.

Rania Mikhail, 32, who studies English at the Holy Family School, said, “We would have liked it if he came here. We are happy that he is coming to Palestine, but what can he do for us?

– We want him to do something for Gaza, not only for the Christians, but also for the Muslims who are living in this prison [Gaza]. We would have liked him to come to Gaza since no one pays attention to what happens to us.”

“When [Pope] Benedict announced in early March that he would visit the Holy Land in May to pray ‘for the precious gift of unity and peace for the Middle East and for all of humanity’, many Gaza Catholics were not pleased … They urged the pontiff to shun Israel in protest at its December-January onslaught on impoverished Gaza that killed more than 1,400 Palestinians.”

Bassam Shahtoot, a member of the Nazareth Roman Catholic parish council, said, – We had mixed feelings at first about the visit … We want the Pope to come, but the timing is problematic because of the Gaza war where many Palestinians were killed. He added that “some people are using this visit politically” to improve the image of Israel.

Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Vatican custodian of the holy sites, spoke in favour of the Pope’s visit. He said, “In spite of all the problems, it’s important to come and to encourage … This visit is aimed first and foremost at encouraging them [Christians] to remain in this country.”

Although the Pope will not be visiting Gaza, the Israeli government has pledged to provide exit permits so that people can get past the blockade and attend events and masses with the Pope.

Student Rania Mikhail said, “If his [the Pope’s] sermons end up changing things for us, we will be very happy … But if not, then this visit will have been in vain.”

Roman Catholics are not Christians

No Evangelical Christians should agree with any news report that labels the Pope in Rome as a «Christian», neither are his followers in Gaza and Nazareth «Christians». The Pope in Rome do not believe that the Bible is the source alone, were man can understand the promises of God. Thats why He lives in many errors, and certainly in regards to Israel.

Christian Zionists in particular believes that all the Biblical promises God of the Bible has given the people of Israel is valid. The Messiah will return and save the Jewish people, forgive their sins, and punish those who have refused to help them.

No true Christian will ever utter the words that « Jerusalem is occupied». Jerusalem was liberated in 1967 from its Arab occupiers. Jerusalem is today the undivided capital of the state of Israel. Islam and the Vatican serve the same God, when they agree on attacking the Jewish heritage to their capital, the City of King David. Islam and the Vatican do not serve the God of the Bible.

We all regret the sufferings of both Muslims, Christians and Roman Catholics in Gaza. But Israel is not the source of their sufferings. They are victims of the people of Gaza not being able to get rid of a Radical Islamic government that works for the destruction of Israel. God of the Bibles will not declare people innocent, when they blame Israel for their own incompetence and sins. If they keep on excusing the evildoing of Hamas, they become evil them self.

Rome and Teheran believe in the same God

Take a look at this link.

After President Amadinejads speech i Geneva, it is obvious that He dont believe in the God of Jacob, the God of Israel.
But how can it be that the Vatican say that Roman Catholics believe in the same God as the Muslims?

Jesus from Nazareth came and said He was a servant of God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

When the Vatican expresses that their God is the same God as the God in Islam, they do not believe in the same God as Jews and Christians. Islam do certainly not believe in God of the Bible. Jews and Christians might disagree up on who the Messiah is. But they agree that God of the Bible is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel.

Tell people the truth.

Catholic Bishop: Abuse claims is a Zionist attack from God killers

«The claims of sexual abuses is a a Zionist attack. Deep down, historically speaking, the Jews are God killers»

eng_Pope_GB_BM_Baye_763240g — Pope Benedict XVI met two members of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organisations in the Vatican, on 12 February 2009.

This is a statement by retired Bishop Giacomo Babini (81), the emeritus bishop of Grosseto. The Bishop is quoted by the Catholic website Pontifex

The website quoted Giacomo Babini saying he believed a «Zionist attack» was behind the criticism, considering how “powerful and refined” the criticism is.

The comments, which have been denied by the bishop, follow a series of statements from Catholic churchmen alleging the existence of plots to weaken the church and Pope Benedict XVI.

Allegedly speaking to the Catholic website Pontifex, Babini, 81, was quoted as saying: “They do not want the church, they are its natural enemies. Deep down, historically speaking, the Jews are God killers.”

The interview was spotted on Friday by the American Jewish Committee, which said Babini was using «slanderous stereotypes, which sadly evoke the worst Christian and Nazi propaganda prior to world war two».

On its website, the American Jewish Group Committee quoted bishop Vincenzo Paglia, an official at the Italian Bishops’ Conference, as saying Babini’s remarks were «entirely contrary to the official line and mainstream thought of the Catholic church».

As the interview appeared on Italy’s main newspaper sites today, complete with the American reaction, the Bishops’ Conference rushed out a statement quoting Babini denying he had ever given the interview in the first place. «Statements I have never made about our Jewish brothers have been attributed to me», he said.

Babini has previously been quoted on the Pontifex website accusing Jews of exploiting the Holocaust, as well as criticising homosexuality.

As cases of alleged priestly abuse emerge in the US and Europe, Benedict’s handling of proven molesters before he became pope in 2005 has now been questioned in cases in Munich, Wisconsin and, most recently, in California, where his signature appears on an 1985 letter resisting calls to defrock a paedophile priest.
