Israeli forces blocked two senior Catholic leaders from reaching the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in occupied East Jerusalem to celebrate Palm Sunday Mass.

The Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem and the Custody of the Holy Land said Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Latin patriarch, and Father Francesco Ielpo, custos of the Holy Land, were stopped en route to the church.

The leaders had attempted to enter privately without any ceremonial procession or public gathering, but were refused access.

The church bodies said this was the first time in centuries that the heads of the Catholic Church had been prevented from celebrating Palm Sunday Mass at the Holy Sepulchre.

Will other countries finally stop supporting israel now that they are fucking with christians as well?

Who are we kidding they will just send them more bombs and shit and tell them to bomb the brown chrisitans as well.

They've been bombing Lebanon for a while now, a country whose population is 41% xtian. The international community has just shrugged, maybe wags a finger. The US &UK's attack dog is off it's chain and no one with the power to do something about it seems willing.

But I guess nation states whose existence are predicated on conquest and genocide don't see what Israel is doing as wrong.
