Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu thanked outgoing Pope Benedict on Monday for his efforts to shore up often troubled relations between the Roman Catholic Church and Jews, including with his 2009 visit to the Holy Land.
That trip, in which the German-born Benedict paid respects at Israel’s main Holocaust memorial, was seen by many Jews as atoning for his lifting of the excommunication of a bishop who questioned the scale of the Nazi genocide. On other occasions he visited the Auschwitz death camp and the Cologne synagogue.
“In the name of the people of Israel, I would like to thank you for everything you did in your capacity as pope in the name of strengthening ties between Christians and Jews and between the Holy See and the Jewish State,” Netanyahu said in a letter to Benedict, a copy of which was circulated to the media.
“I thank you also for bravely defending the values of Judaism and Christianity during your papal term,” the conservative premier wrote.
“I have no doubt that these values, which were so crucial to building the modern world, are no less critical for ensuring a future of security, prosperity and peace.”

He had to visit the holy shrine of Holocaustianity. Did he mention that christians in Hell are spit upon and how talmudic jews speak of Jesus Christ ? Surely not. Did he support palestian christians ? No way..
That is why IsraHell praises him.
The ties between jews and christians are only benefitting one side. Speaking of the “same values” is a complete sham.

The pope just obeys the orders of his masters, the Jews. That pope is misleading the Catholic Church, he provably never read when Jesus coursed the Jews and nothing is said about the Jewish gangsters the Rothschild gang controlling the church finances since 1800. That Pope is an insult to Christianity, they never mention that in the Babylonian Talmud the Jews are taught to hate Christians and spit on Jesus Christ, and call Mary the whore.

It is a clear case of the RCC leadership, as well as UK monarchy, showing their true jew loyalties..

Gordon Duff on Jeff Rense says the German Pope was going to reveal Vatican archive materials that disprove the holocaust narratives.

If this is so, the Netanyahu ‘thanks’ takes on a whole new meaning.

I believe if Pop really knew about all the Israeli crimes and still tried to ignore or even confirmed this system, then he should not be qualified to be called a Pop…
I am sure any real religious leader in the world would also had rejected crimes of the Jews against Palestinians or against any group or nation…. This is the base of any religion.
