A nativity scene that went on display at the Vatican on Saturday features a photo of the infant Jesus on a keffiyeh.
Pope Francis inaugurates the new nativity scene called ”Betlehem 2024” in the Vatican today.
Does the pope think Jesus wasn’t a Jew either? Did he even read the Bible? pic.twitter.com/2MIoXaZO1Q

The traditional Arab scarf has been adopted by Palestinians as a symbol of their national aspirations. The image comes at a time when a revisionist Palestinian narrative has set in whereby Jesus is a Palestinian.

The photograph was presented to the Vatican by representatives from the Embassy of the State of Palestine to the Holy See on the inauguration of the “Nativity of Bethlehem 2024,” displayed in the Paul VI Hall, Vatican News reported.
The pre-Christmas event came just weeks after the Catholic leader called for an international investigation to determine if Israel’s actions in its war against Hamas in Gaza constituted genocide.

In the pope’s own arrogance he thinks, like the devil, that he can over rule the authority of God’s words in the Bible and doesn’t like his followers reading the Bible otherwise they may find out the truth!
Amen & Amen
The Catholic church has always had trouble with antisemitism; but this is over the top. The Pope should read his Bible. Jesus said that salvation is of the Jews. He was not a Palestinian. To put the baby Jesus on a symbol of terrorist bloodshed is blasphemous! I do not think this pope is a Christian; he does not believe in the real Jesus.
Amen & Amen LORD save these Folks from the Deceiver…Maranatha
