Israeli officials fear the pope's vocal criticisms and symbolic gestures - such as this year’s nativity scene in St Peter’s Square featuring baby Jesus resting on a Palestinian keffiyeh - may influence global public opinion.

Created by Bethlehem artists Johny Andonia and Faten Nastas Mitwasi, the nativity scene prominently features Palestinian materials, including olive wood, a symbol of Palestinian resilience.

During its unveiling, Pope Francis condemned the global arms industry for profiting from human suffering and reiterated his call for an end to all wars, urging the faithful to remember those suffering in the holy land.

The display, praised by many as a message of solidarity and peace, drew backlash from Israel’s supporters, who accused the Vatican of promoting a pro-Palestinian agenda.

A three-course onion-based meal with caramelized onion for dessert and small pickled onions as café gourmand.

We also can provide a selection of onion infused teas as well.

I asked that when it happened to me. "Boofed the Apple" was nominated, seconded, and carried. It is now official.

You boofed the apple.

I just read this after opening my Christmas present from my mother-in-law. It's one of those pounding massage guns. I love it for it's legitimate uses but I'm also considering off-label applications.

No, that's the opposite. This isn't satire, but I thought that it was because it was so ridiculous.

[-] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

what's the opposite of eating the onion?

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Someone else said "boofing the apple," so now you have to live with reading that, too.
