Italian journalist Giulio Meotti has accomplished a feat that is at once both important and disturbing. In his, The Vatican’s War Against Israel: J’Accuse, Meotti exposes the blatantly hostile attitude of the Church toward Zionism ever since the inception of the Jews’ national liberation movement.
Two theological dogmas drive the Vatican’s antagonism toward Israel, explains Meotti. The first is the punishment ascribed to the Jews for deicide, according to which the Jews are divinely cursed to live a humiliating life of misery and dispersion to the four corners of the world for their ancient sin of God-murder. The second dogma is “replacement,” which disclaims the supposed “chosen-ness” of the Jews by claiming that Christianity has surpassed Judaism as God’s chosen religion because of the aforementioned deicide. This school of thought necessarily denies any rights the Jews may have previously had to a sovereign state in the Holy Land.
According to Meotti, the very creation of a thriving, self-confident, independent Jewish state that ingathers its exiles is an unacceptable scandal that contradicts these major tenets of the Church’s teachings. The result makes for a depressing account of doctrine forcing the Church into political expressions that are often out of synch with those of other Western nations, as well as with basic common sense. Not only do these policies require acrobatic spinning in terms of logic, but these anti-Israeli manifestations can be breathtaking in their inequities.
Half of the Palestinian people support Hamas and its anti-Israeli genocidal Charter, and the other “moderate” half backs the ethnic cleansing clause still in the PLO Charter.Read more ›

One would have hoped that Nostra Aetate would change the centuries old view of the Jews. Sadly, the world "Jew" has merely been transferred to "Israel" and the same prejudicial and religious views applied. The views of Augustine (and others in the pantheon) that Jews must suffer and wander the Earth to proclaim the coming of the true savior has not been abandoned. The very existence of the State of Israel presents conflicting emotions concerning supersessionism (which has never been negated, even in Nostra Aetate). This book has a plethora of examples and quotations that might have been written or spoken in the 15th century; sadly, they are contemporary. The author will be condemned and criticized as anti-Catholic but this is merely a ploy to prevent reading quotations and describing events that actually occurred. Read the book and then tell one and all which of the quotes and which of the events described are either false or created. The truth, it is said, shall make you free. One can only hope.

I have mixed feelings about this book. In the interest of admitting my biases, I was raised as an Independent Baptist, spent time in a non-denominational church, and wound up as a Catholic for nearly 20 years. I returned to a non-denominational church after my inner-city Catholic church sold its school to an Islamic group.
During my time as a Catholic, I would occasionally detect what I considered an anti-Israel bias in some statements from the pulpit or in the classroom. (I attended a Catholic college.) Until I picked up this book, however, I did not realize how deeply this bias ran. Sadly in many places, this shows itself not just as anti-Semitism, but in outright hatred directed toward the Jewish people. Most amazing of all, the worst of these statements - as Meotti shows with copious quotes - comes from Catholic clerics all over the Middle East. These are men appointed to their office by the Vatican, and who speak publicly without any reprimand from the Pope. These are the very churches suffering so much persecution at the hands of muslim terrorists today, yet they proclaim their solidarity with the "fedayeen." The quotes Meotti brings to light are so shocking that they literally stood my hair on end. Even more egregious is that the Pope (actually several of them) allowed these quotes to stand unopposed. On this count, this book is a must read - especially for anyone considering entering the Catholic Church.
That said, I must raise objections that I hope the author (and the reader) will take seriously. This book is in great need of a good editor. The author, Giulio Meotti, is a journalist. As such, he generally doesn't give footnotes for his writing. If he had turned this book in to any professor for whom I wrote, he'd have been made to rework his manuscript.Read more ›

Meotti's book is well documented and written with an engaging style. He makes the case quite convincingly that the Vatican has been overtly anti-Zionist (i.e. anti-Israel) since Theodore Hertzel began the modern Zionist movement around 1900 through the 21st Century. And, Meotti doesn't merely focus on the Vatican's antipathy towards Zionism and the State of Israel, but includes the Anglican Church, Eastern Rite Churches and The Protestant World Council of Churches along with the many organizations tied to these churches that have been and are currently critical and openly hostile to the State of Israel. Meotti also exposes Replacement Theology and geopolitical expediencies as foundational to the antipathy of professing Christian Churches to the State of Israel. Meotti recounts with painstaking accuracy the many instances of murderous terror being perpetrated by the PA, Fatah or the PLO against innocent Israelis, while the Vatican either remained silent, equivocated the violence of the terrorists to the reality of the State of Israel or justified the violence perpetrated by Islamic terror against Israelis.
