AMERICAN ZIONIST PRESS AGAINST THE VATICAN

 

Our good friend François Costes brought out this timely paper substantiating our accusations presented in Darkness from the West Israel_Shamir__Darkness_from_the_West.php : he compared the anti-Church publications and real-time events: the calls to attack Iraq, bombardment of Palestine etc. They fit to a tee!
