Taybeh, Ramallah and al-Bireh, Palestinian Territories
"Yet read the news, and thats exactly what appears to be happening in places like the West Bank town of Taybeh, according to no less an authority than Pope Leo XIVs red-hatted legate Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, who this week issued another statement together with local clergy condemning what they called yet another violent assault that targeted the West Bank Christian town of Taybeh, a peaceful and faithful community rooted in the land of Christ."
Gaza, Palestinian Territories
"The pope also accused Israel of deliberately targeting the sole Catholic church in Gaza, a portion of which was lightly damaged by an errant Israeli tank shellan accident that Leo portrayed as part of a larger Israeli campaign of deliberate violence against civilians and holy sites."
Israel
"Huckabee was the focus of the campaign not only because he is the U.S. ambassador to Israel, but also, specifically, because he is an evangelical Christianand therefore a stand-in for American evangelical Protestants."
