Vatican Recognizes Palestine
The Vatican has recognized Palestine as a legitimate state.
In a formal declaration, the Vatican officially recognized Palestine as a state in a treaty that was signed on June 26, which the Vatican believes will help to encourage stalled peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians.
According to The Associated Press, Vatican Foreign Minister Paul Gallagher and Palestinian Foreign Minister Riad al-Malki both signed the treaty at the Vatican in a ceremony.
The Vatican announced support for Palestinian statehood last month, in an effort to quell animosity between Palestine and Israel. Palestine supported the good measure and agreed to protections and fewer regulations of Catholics, Christians and the Catholic Church in its own nation and other Middle Eastern nations.
Israel remains disappointed, saying the treaty will inhibit any progress of peace talks between the two bitter neighbors. An Israel Foreign Ministry statement said leaders would study the treaty to figure out “its implications for future cooperation between Israel and the Vatican.”

Let’s try to keep score:
– The Confederate flag being pulled down.
– Obamacare survives its last serious legal hurdle.
– Equal marriage is the law of the land.
– The Vatican recognizes Palestine.
Am I missing anything?
It’s been a historic week. Conservatives are on a rout. It’s been a total debacle for them.
Let’s keep the momentum going. Their poisonous ideology is on the ropes, time to knock them out.

“Aren’t there enough exploded Republican heads to clean up this week?”
Nope–never enough as far as I’m concerned. He needs to keep ’em popping!

Wow, guess Israel’s running out of sympathetic friends in the world… Make a deal already…

This is good news.

Good! As an added bonus, it makes the US handling of Israel (“how far should I bend over?”) that much more untenable when they continue to treat the Palestinians like the Jews were treated by Christians for a couple millennia…

Considering Palestine has existed for centuries, I find it surprising the Vatican only now recognizes it as a state.

they never had a pope like this.

I agree. According to the “end-timers”, this pope is supposed to be the anti-Christ sent here to bring on the rapture. Unfortunately, he’s doing a piss poor job of convincing us he’s the bad guy.

he’s suppose to be the closest thing to GOD! but, apparently he’s the only one listening to the true meaning of the word of GOD and they ain’t havin’ that.
