Whether it's being presented with altered Christian art portraying Jesus as a Palestinian victim of the Israelis, meeting with the Jew-hating grand mufti of the PA, or praying at the security wall spray painted by Palestinian political graffiti, Pope Francis has profaned his visit to the Holy Land by allowing the Palestinians to use him as a propaganda prop.

One wonders whether the Pope-even privately- asked his hosts in Bethlehem where all the Christians have gone from the birthplace of Jesus. I'll bet he did not.
At least he didn't bring John Kerry with him.
The nerve of the man, showing courtesy to both sides of a bitter and long enduring conflict.
