Dear Barry, there is nothing new with the church being an antisemitic hideous entity. I have long since stopped believing anything they say and the majority of the clergy here in Malta lost my respect completely. Already when I was around 10 years old, my mum used to take us (whether we liked it or not) for the Good Friday 3pm ceremony, and apart from the fact that I felt like a yoyo not knowing why i was standing up one minute sitting down the next, there was a prayer, which even at 10 years of age, and at the time there was no internet etc., which was directed at the Jewish people for their conversion. And when we got out of church I asked my mum, why should we pray for Jewish people to change their religion? I did not think it was fair, as long as they did not want to change it themselves. At the time when parents were less than tactful, I remember my mum telling me I should mind my own business and not ask such questions at such a young age. And that further fuelled my antagonism and my quest for the reason behind this prayer...which as years went by, I realised the hideous truth, and especially the Vatican's role during the 2nd world war in helping nazi high officials escape to south america thru the use of diplomatic passports etc. After that I got into the story of Anne Frank and I learnt it by heart and when there was an exhibition at the Prime Minister's office I went 3 times to visit it. Then the story of Schindler and the role of the Palmach. Then my own mother translated the book of Leon Uris - Exodus into Maltese and read it on 2 different maltese radio channels, and I was interviewed re my views on the Middle East and Israel. Today as it is, I live phsically in Malta, but my spirit is in Israel, with the people I love and admire, with a unique Prime Minister, with a fantastic army, and with the best intelligence in the world. Ironically enough the idiotic church led me to this...thank God...and now I'm learning Hebrew with a Hebrew School in Israel and looking forward to the day my dream to come to Israel comes true. The church unfortunately will never change, as it is in league with the world economic forum, with the vatican mafia, with the very shady organisation The Knights of Malta which is full of questionable (to say the least) character, the Knights of St. Lazarus which is also much of the same....and with the United Nazi, where every Annual General Assembly the Pope goes to address the assembly...why no one from the Jewish, Hindu, Bah'ai, Buddhist communist is ever present? Why just the Pope? Because there is where power and evil lies!
