Europe does NOT "stand with Israel."
The Pope - has issued a prayer for peace in Israel and Palestine: I follow with concern and pain what is happening in Israel, where violence has erupted with even greater intensity, resulting in hundreds of dead and wounded. I express my support to the families of the victims, pray for them and all those who are enduring hours of horror and anxiety. Please stop the attacks, armed conflict and realize that terrorism and war leads to no solution but only death and suffering of so many innocent people! War is defeat, every war is a defeat! Let's pray for peace in Israel and Palestine.
