All Palestinian are saddened by the death of Pope Francis. He spoke repeatedly against the ongoing genocide and destructionof our people and was attaked for this by te Zionist movement. He kept touch with the church in Gaza regularly even from his hospital bed. He cared for people regardless of their religion and made peace a key feature of his tenure. He built
respectful and good relations between people of all faiths in a time when right wing white fascists are taking control of governments around the world (Orban, Netanyahu, Trump etc). We at Bethlehem University are also especially sad because of the fact that this university was established by the Vatican to serve the Palestinian people in 1973.
On Palm Sunday Israel bombed a church run hospital with U weapons amd US taxpayer money. Western media was silent and money for the apartheid genocidal regime continues to flow
