On Christmas, the Pope Forgets Who the Real Bad Guys Are | Israel Undiplomatic

Pope Francis characterized Israeli counter-terrorism operations in the Gaza Strip as "cruelty" in his Christmas Eve speech.

This marks the second time the pontiff has criticized the Jewish state's actions over the course of a week. Earlier, the pope suggested that the world should investigate whether Jerusalem is committing genocide against the Palestinian people.

JNS senior contributing editor Ruthie Blum and Mark Regev, former Israeli ambassador to the United Kingdom—both former advisers at the Prime Minister’s Office—unpack Rome's attacks and their moral depravity.

In addition, they discuss the significance of Chanukah in light of Israel's ongoing seven-front war and the near-daily missile fire from Yemen's Houthis. All this and more on this episode of “Israel Undiplomatic!”
