When Zionist leader Theodor Herzl asked Pope Pius X to support a Jewish homeland in Judea & Samaria, pope Pius X said "non-possumus" - we can't. See, this was the key which could have protected 6,000,000 Jews from slaughter-the Jewish homeland. Balfour Declaration 1917, why didn't the Vatican back the Jews after their homeland was declared by the British? Popes were interested in their own homeland however.

Pope Pius XI signed the Lateran Accords February 11, 1929 with Fascists leader Mussolini guaranteeing his house in Rome. While pope Pius XI was pope-the future pope Pius XII was in Bavaria listening to German music and drinking beer. Pius XII knew before Hitler came to power Hitler was going to kill the Jews. Hitler even wrote about it. Why didn't Pius XII as a cardinal before becoming pope push the Vatican for a Jewish homeland? I guess the handshake Mussolini gave pope Pius XI sealed the fate of European Jews, since Pius XII did nothing.

Now pope Benedict wants to give away Jewish homes in Judea, Samaria and east Jerusalem. Another 6,000,000 Jewish lives are on the line. Moslems are in Moscow meeting with their arms dealer Putin. Bush cannot be trusted in Israel's defense. This is all a terrible trajedy. Roman 10th legion marched into Jerusalem because the Jews were not united. When the Jews are united and praising God, victory is assured. God gave Jews high I.Q.'s for desperate times like these. Eienstein had the formula to end World War II. Israel is your nation. Ezekiel 36:24 God has brought you out of the heathen nations into your own land. Your land--not Abyss terrorist land.
