Right-wing politicians in Israel attack Benedict XVI. “He is a son of the nation that build gas chambers. And he was a member of Hitlerjugend” said Yaakov Katz, the leader of National Union. He adds that the pope should regret “because he is a German“.

Israel express discontent after the pope’s visit. “His speech proves verbal indifference.” “Israel is unsatisfied with pope’s speech” wrote Israel Today. The radical groups in Israel have written “in best case his apologies are not enough. In worst case he is a heir of the Nazi“. For politicians like Jon Mecgar or Szlomo Amar the pope is just “a receiver of the stolen Jewish treasures“.

Yalla Kadima have published on their Internet sites a picture of the pope together with a swastika, with explanation at they want to “protest against Vatican’s role under the time of Nazi homicides“, explains Ciki Awisar.

Yaakov Katz from National Union said at the pope should show remorse, “because he is a German” and that “There were more Jews murdered in the Christian lands then anywhere else“.

Katz said at “the pope have not asked for forgiving. Forgiving for the murder of children and women. For the murder of everybody, one after another. For the death’s industry”.

“Even if he has never killed anybody he bears a part of responsibility for this what had happened. First of all because he is the leader of the Roman Catholic Church. It was in the catholic countries, where the most Jews died: in Poland, in Croatia, in Italy and in Germany. The more religious the country, the more Jews were murdered. Such is the sequence. The more Catholics, the more murder”. “Under the crusades your knights plundered our land, raped and murdered. I could go on and on.”

“Anyway it is not only the Europe, who is the guilty. USA have done far too lite to help. They knew what was going on in Auschwitz. They did nothing. The secret conspiracy of hate against the Jews was bigger then it looks like.”

“It is good that the pope is visiting our land, so he can see himself how the Jewish religion is winning over the Christianity. We have many religious families, which know that it is their duty to have many children. It is how we take revenge on the Christians“.
