Since this entry will soon disappear, I will only make a limited comment. I cannot speak about Latin America and I do not fully know what the Pope means by "right-wing". But, taking the Pope at his words, he is wrong! Yes. dead (for many Jews) wrong! The greatest anti-Jewish movement is found in Islam. The scholar Bostrom has written a 1000 page book on the historical repression of Jews from day one of Islam. Turn to Memri.tv or Palestinian Watch and spend time, lots of time, seeking out comments by Islamists for the Allah called for liquitation of the "pigs", i.e., Jews. This includes Abbas of the PA which again united with the Jew-hating Hamas. Then let us not forget the Holocaust denying Iran. The error of the Pope might be minor if not humorous, except that he managed to overlook a historically ongoing movement that is very anti-Jewish, leathal so. This blindness, intended or invinicible ignorance, is of deadly danger to Jews. The Pope should stick to theology and leave other areas alone.
Look up Caroline Glick in Jerusalem Post or the articles in FrontPage on the Jew haters (always on the left, without exception) or PJ Media and the Jewish authors there who find danger from the LEFT and not the right. Hitler was a nationalist, yes, but also a type of socialist, yes. The anti-Jewsih tradition used by the man goes back to centuries of Christian prejudice against Jews. One reason some Jews reacted negatively to the Pope in Israel as many see the Catholic Church as the historical persecutor number one.
I finish with tale of obvious "right-wing" hate of Jews: Stalin in his last days was cared for by the best Russian doctors, no? NO! He had been, but they were Jews and he was in the process of a progrom against Jews. The Jewsih doctors had been eliminated and incompetents had replaced them. Maybe that cost Stalin his life. And we all know, along with Pope Francis, that Stalin was a leading "right-winger". SIC!
