POPE: "THERE'S TERRORISM IN ISRAEL?"

Do Israelis not bleed?
Israel was outraged by a sermon by Pope Benedict which did not list it among countries that have suffered from Islamic terrorism.

The Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem summoned the Vatican ambassador to express outrage at a sermon Sunday in which the pontiff deplored suicide bombings in Egypt, Turkey, Iraq and Britain but did not mention a recent Palestinian attack that killed five Israelis in Netanya. “The pope’s omission of this incident cries out to the heavens. Aside from the moral stain implied therein, this cannot but be interpreted as a granting of legitimacy to carrying out terrorist attacks against Jews,” the ministry said in a statement.

Vatican officials declined to comment.
