Vatican recognizes state of Palestine in new treaty
The Israeli foreign ministry said it was "disappointed." (ahh)
"This move does not promote the peace process and distances the Palestinian leadership from returning to direct and bilateral negotiations," the ministry said in a text message, according to the Associated Press.
As a practical matter, Palestinians must still negotiate the terms of any statehood with Israel. But as the representative of the world's largest Christian constituency, the Vatican does have influence on the question of Jerusalem, which both Israeli and Palestinian leaders claim as their rightful capital, said Hussein Ibish, senior resident scholar at the Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington.
"On the undefined, undecided status of Jerusalem generally, the Vatican has a role in that," Ibish said.

So?
What that really says is, screw you Israel!! Believe me there are lots of RC's in the world and if the Pope is for the Pals, so are they. It may not mean much, but is bringing positive attention to the plight of the Pals since their land got infested with thieves and murderers.
So? Israel will still here tomorrow, get over yourself.
They will need to give back the land and go back to the 48 lines. Also leave the neighboring states alone. Everyone is on to Israel now and know they have no right to that land.
Whos going to force Israel to do anything? you and your band of anti semites?
The Protestant settlers in Ireland used to say something similar.
