Thanks Caitlin for your perspective that is both relevant and important at this time. I’ve posted the below comment, or simi, before, but in case someone has missed it, I’m going to post it again. Forgive me if you’ve seen it and maybe even signed it already.
I had this crazy idea a few nights ago that the one thing that could maybe stop the bombing immediately, would be for Pope Francis to go to Gaza, to the Rafah Crossing and enter into Gaza with the Gazans. I believe this would change the dynamics as soon as such a visit was announced. I made a petition on change.org
If you, or anyone, you know, thinks this might work, and would like to support it , please sign and share:
I think it’s necessary to change the current dynamics and narratives that do nothing but further the death and hatred on all sides. This won’t interfere with anything else people are doing. Given the craven behavior of the western governments, it’s imperative to try think outside the box of retribution. It might not work, but maybe it's worth trying. Please sign and share if you can.
Maybe I am wrong or my statement too exagerated but I don't think there was ever 1 good thing coming out of the Vatican. It's a multi million dollar/euro sect that has caused so much pain, misery and horror worldwide over the centuries, lavishing itself in power and money. Even in WW2 it took the wrong stance (being neutral is like turning a blind eye; Jezus wasn't neutral in his judgement and actions, as I remember from my lessons in a catholic school). No, I would rather believe in a resurrection of Jezus himself than in a Vatican pope doing the right thing. But hey, maybe Francis will surprise me.

I don't think you are wrong about the Vatican, but I think the Pope going to Gaza would create quite a stir among many and it might help, who knows?
It sure would, I have no doubt about that.
But again, I see Jesus rising sooner than the Pope would make this gesture of mercy, without political or financial ulterior motives
I don’t think the IsraHellis would give a flying fuck if they bombed the Pope.
Please sign, if you haven't already. Let's see if we can get him there. If that dynamic could occur, I think we can't know what might come of it.
