Pope Leo Laments Gaza, Western Leaders Continue to Arm Apartheid
CBS News reports Pope Leo XIV expressed sorrow for Palestinians during his Christmas homily. This moral outcry rings hollow when juxtaposed with the bipartisan congressional support for Israel's military actions. For instance, in 2023, while conditions worsened, the U.S. House voted 318-109 for H.R. 815 , providing billions in aid, including to Israel. This same year, AIPAC's Political Action
Committee alone spent over $3 million lobbying Congress and contributing to campaigns, ensuring swift passage of such packages. So, while the Pontiff's words may stir the heart, one might wonder: how many condemnations does it take from religious figures before Western leaders stop funding the very 'conditions' they claim to lament? It appears profound sorrow is reserved for homilies, not for
foreign policy decisions.
