Sigh.
Not such good news in the world right now.
The Catholic Church has offended Jews and Judaism (again). This time it seems that interfaith dialogue is seen as a means to convert Jews to the Catholic faith.
The Jewish leaders said they “pose no objection” to Christians sharing their faith, but said dialogue with Jews becomes “untenable” if the goal is to persuade Jews to accept Christ as their savior.
Oy. Granted, it’s not another Inquisition, but still…enough already Church. We Jews aren’t going anywhere. Stop it.
And in other delightful news, “President” Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran has nominated former Quds Force commander Ahmad Vahidi to be his defense minister. Vahidi is wanted in the 1994 bombing of a Jewish cultural center in Buenos Aires, and, his nomination has caused a reasonably fury from Argentina and from Jewish groups.
The Quds Force is involved in operations abroad, including working with Lebanon’s Hezbollah militant group, which is accused to carrying out the Buenos Aires attack.
Stay classy Iranian Regime. Stay classy. In good news, the people of Iran have screwed their courage to the sticking place and continue to protest the government’s usurpation of power and brutal crackdown on dissent. Even the Ayatollah’s are calling out the regime’s offenses.
