“Meanwhile, some officials, including the former ambassador to Italy, Dror Idar, said no representatives should attend the pope’s funeral on Saturday because he “incited antisemitism”.
Pope Francis, who died at the age of 88, was an outspoken supporter of the Palestinian people during Israel’s ongoing 18-month assault on the besieged Gaza Strip.
Thousands of pro-Palestinian social media users, including many from Gaza, have paid tributes to him.”

I’m not going either, do I get an article? Who gives a shit? Crusty old man died a crusty old man’s death. It’s not a big deal, happens every day.
Almost a fifth of the world population is Catholic, so quite a lot of people.
I’ll rephrase to “Who should give a shit?”
Hint: It’s nobody.
Very edgy
Leave your thought-stopping cliches at Reddit, yeah?
Or you leave your toxic “I don’t care who died” attitude
That’s not the same commenter
Good. Having an Israeli representative there would be a bit like digging up Hitlers corpse and dragging that around on a handtruck. So it seems Israel actively wants to kill 2 billion muslims, and they hate 2.4 christians enough to spit on them when they see them walking near christian holy sites. And they think this will somehow all end well for them.
