POPE IN ALLEGED ASSAULT


POPE ATTACKS IRAN AT WORLD JEWISH CONGRESS screams the headline of this Times Article.

Quite what Iran and the Pope were doing at the World Jewish Congress is beyond us at Benny Watch, as neither the Pope, nor Iran fit the criteria necessary to attend the World Jewish Congress (these being: hating Jesus, hating pig but liking little hats).

The article goes on to say that Benny told leaders of the World Jewish Congress that Iran was “an issue of big concern” to him."
Maram Stern, secretary general of the World Jewish Congress, said after the audience: “We thanked the Holy Father for everything he did for the Jewish people, and more importantly what he will do.”

Speaking to journalists in Rome, he said the Pope had “recognised the question of Iran as an issue of big concern for him.”

Firstly, why has the World Jewish Organisation thanked Benny for everything he did for the Jewish people? Just what in their imaginary world has Benny actually done for the Jews? Ham is still consumed, prices remain low and Jews are still beaten.

And secondly, "recognised the question of Iran" sounds similar in rhetoric to the "Jewish question"


Oh is that anti-semitic?

Speaking of rhetoric, what it appears specifically that Benny was talking out against was the raging Anti-Israel sentiment expressed by everyone's favourite enemy-du-jour President Ahmadinejad all through his term as President.


But in most situations such as these, bluster and rhetoric are only fuelled by response, thus serving to bring the speaker out to the mainstream and give credibility to his otherwise nutjob views.

Having said all that, Ahmadinejad does dress appallingly.
