'Fun and games' with the 'Elder Brothers'

Agent: “How do you want me to honor your American passport? Do you want me to kiss it, to hug it, or to worship it? Moreover, you are rude and ill mannered. How did you get to be so rude? You are a Palestinian and you are rude and ill-mannered.”


"Harassment, detainment, and interrogations are part and parcel of the Israeli states’ efforts to keep Palestinians out of Israel-Palestine and bring more Jews in. It is my own US tax dollars—over 3 billion dollars of both economic and military aid—that finances the oppression of the Palestinian people. Without the US’s blind and unconditional financial and political support of the state of Israel, the occupation and all its tragedies against the Palestinians would not continue."

For more read the full account of U.S. citizen, George Koury, in which he details the interrogations, harassment, detention, and deportation he suffered at the hands of immigration officials in Israel.  These 'elder brothers' are not only the best buddies of Francis but also champions of illegal immigration and open borders for every country in the world except Israel.

Francis contra Francis

Book reads, "all together against child labor." 
From Francis' general audience of 11 June 2014.

"Tens of millions of children are forced to work in degrading conditions, exposed to slavery and abuse, mistreatment and discrimination. I sincerely hope that the international community can extend social protection of minors to eradicate this scourge. We renew our commitment to all, especially families, to ensure that every child and child safeguarding the dignity and the possibility of a healthy growth. A childhood of hope allows children to look with confidence to the life and future...I invite you all to pray to Our Lady, which took the baby Jesus in her arms, to pray for these boys and girls who are exploited with the work and with the abuse."

contra

"The most serious of the evils that afflict the world these days are youth unemployment and the loneliness of the old. The old need care and companionship; the young need work and hope but have neither one nor the other, and the problem is they don't even look for them any more. They have been crushed by the present. You tell me: can you live crushed under the weight of the present? Without a memory of the past and without the desire to look ahead to the future by building something, a future, a family? Can you go on like this? This, to me, is the most urgent problem that the Church is facing."

So which one is it Francis?   

Youth unemployment is evil or youth employment is bad?
