This is a disaster waiting to happen. To tell the truth a wide section of the media are rooting for this Latin American, but his appointment bodes evil for every one of us. He is going to bring more tension to a world that is in need of peace. I can assure you that this little figure will speak great swelling words; words that will cause ears to tingle, words that will cause people to be incencesed with rage. My prayer: May he never get to the conclave.

That nudge, according to independent, reliable and mutually-corroborating sources, has now been prepared by this Axis.

More than half the 306 complaints about torture last year came from Palestinians who had been detained or imprisoned by Abbas's security forces in the West Bank; 11 detainees died in Palestinian Authority and Hamas prisons according to a report by the Palestinian Independent Commission for Human Rights.
