This might be the most “orphan-crushing machine” article that I’ve ever read. At a time when the people of Gaza are on the brink of mass starvation. The latest Israel blockade on Gaza aid started on March 2, over 2 months ago. It says that the Vatican has given aid to Gaza in the past through an organization called Caritas Jerusalem. The pope giving his old car to Gaza seems cartoonish, at a peak moment in the genocide. It feels symbolic at best.
It’s exactly like one of the articles which says like “6 year old sells lemonade to pay for their cancer treatment”. It leaves you asking the question, “Why are we ignoring who created this situation? Why are they not being held accountable?”
Punished Francis final request: turn the Popemobile into a technical and give it to Hamas
It is symbolic. It’s not even a rounding error on the actual material and political support Francis provided (or tried to provide given the blockade) to Gaza. It’s still not enough, he should have excommunicated Vance at the very least, but he was one of Gaza’s biggest supporters.
