Sheikh attacks Israel, pope walks out

From the Jerusalam Post, the Pope appears to be showing more courage than Mr. Obama:
A leading Palestinian cleric commandeered an evening devoted to interfaith dialogue with Pope Benedict XVI on Monday to rant against Israel for "killing Gaza's children," "bulldozing Palestinian homes" and "destroying mosques."
...
Following the diatribe and before the meeting was officially over, the pope exited the premises. However, he shook Tamimi's hand before walking out.

I don't know if this was a statement, but I hope that it was.
