HAARETZ: Pope Benedict XVI greeted tens of thousands of adoring followers in Jesus' childhood hometown with a message of reconciliation Thursday, urging Christian and Muslims to reject the destructive power of hatred and prejudice.
"I urge people of goodwill in both communities to repair the damage that has been done, and in fidelity to our common belief in one God, the Father of the human family, to work to build bridges and find the way to a peaceful coexistence," he said.
"Let everyone reject the destructive power of hatred and prejudice, which kills men's souls before it kills their bodies."
Nazareth, one of the largest towns where Israeli Arab citizens live, Mount Precipice, where the Bible says a mob tried to hurl Jesus off a cliff, was chosen as the site for the papal mass. >>> By Jack Khoury, Haaretz Correspondent, Haaretz Service and News Agencies | Thursday, May 14, 2009
