Again the state of Israel proves that they are still a bunch of groveling ghetto dwellers without any pride. It is a disgrace that all our so-called leaders are running to bow down to the king of idol worshippers, the pope. I would not be surprised to see Peres bow down and kiss the ring on IL papas hand. As thanks for 2000 years of persecutions our proud leaders will hand over our land to these same idol worshippers Maybey in his exitement Peres will covert to Christianity on the spot.

with Papal traffic and all those officers and soldiers missing the family bonfires because they're busy guarding "The Pope". He couldn't have come a coupla days later? Check your calendar next time people (or rather, Papal-people)!-- sorry but we don't just run on the Gregorian calendar here.

Eli!, do you suggest that the Pop has to also take permission from Israel before praying?

I it my sincere wish, that one day you will learn: not all people (Christians and others) are anti-semitites, not all Germans 60 years after the Holocaust, are Nazis- that there are people who really want peace-. We are not personally responsible what our ancestors did - all the way back 2000 years- you call Christians idol worshippers- this is your personal opinion- fine- not all Christians do believe in your religion either- a bit of tolerance would not hurt- from either side. There is no need to grovel- , but a bit of civility is never out of place. If it upsets you so much, go pray- don't read Ynet, TB- it is not good for your health. Maybe there will be a more 'worthy' topic next week.

Why so much hatred and attack ? For shame - lighten up and respect. You haters make me ill.

This article says: He also called for free access to Jerusalem for people from all the religions with holy sites in the city. WHAT A JOKE! The only people who DO NOT have free access to all sites are the Jews! Jews are limited to see the temple mount and if they even look like they are saying a silent prayer they are beaten and thrown out! Peace Indeed. Go back to Rome, Israel has enough problems already. By the way--they are idol worshippers.

Israel (ALL of Israel) belongs to the JEWS not the Arabs

And it does not belong to the arabs or americans either! The wicked son of perdition pope came to DIVIDe Israel up and NO OTHER AJENDA ut that specifically! Do you Jews NOT SEE PLAINLY??????????? He is you arch enemy! Look @ history. READ YOUR OWN BLOODY PAST FROM WHAT THE PAPACY DID TO YOU PEOPLE..... WAKE UP ISRAEL WAKE UP.

I do agree with you that its not the best time to come, yeah its like Peres visiting the Vatican on Christmas.... However, I DO USE THE GREGORIAN CALENDAR (even if we have OURS), there's no chance to walk along the rest of the world otherwise... so, i don't understand why people say so many incongruities...I Using it doesn't make u less Jew....

Just a shame Celtic lost! GBTP

I think we show enough civilty, like you call it, to allow him into the country. On top of that this cost millions to us the tax payers. Besides Lisa I think after 2000 years of crap from this same church,I do not need any lectures from you about civilty.But typical arrogance will give you the chutpah to do lecture me. Maybey go and pray yourself for all the pain Christianity has caused all around the world.

the Pope will give Shimon Peres a blessing, and if so will he call him my son? Shimon is not at the age of being anyone's son, I reckon.

by the way..... why offending Peres at all!! he doesn't seems very happy in the pic, he's just politically correct which is something that people involved in politics and international affairs have to show... civility, respect, even if the other don't respect you sometimes, a bit of education doesn't hurt anyone... But you fanaticist comments... believe me, is what hurts us here and abroad David.. Ability to see what is not there.. to judge Peres as if you and I or whoever were anyone to judge people to behave correctly.... maybe if u check your manners, if u invest your time working, going to the gym to relieve tensions, read a book... WE JEWS would looks so dumb thanks to people like u!

I agree with this person. Free access currently exists. Only Jews can't go to the Temple Mount--Oh yes, Muslimw with bomb belts are also prohibited! What does the Pope want? A return to pre-67 when Jews were totally prohibited access and the city lay in ruin since the Muslims could care less when the Jews weren't around.

Do not blame the Pope, Olmert was the one responsible for inviting Benedict in Lag Ba'omer and who tried to give Jewish Holy sites to the church. Pope Benedict is welcome, if for no other reason than that his whole existence is based on the fact that Israel is Jewish land. When Benedict stood on Har Nevo, he emphasized the fact that the Jew Moses brought the Jews to their home. When Benedict visited the Jordan, he reminded the world that the Jews John and Jesus worshiped there 700 years before the first Muslim existed. When he visits Sakhnin and Nazareth he will remind the world of the Jewish Rabbis who taught there before the Arab colonisation. When he visits Bethlehem, he will remind the world that the Arab colonists of Fatah and Hamas try to murder babies just for being Jewish, exactly what happened 2000 years ago to the Jew Jesus under Herod's rule. When Benedict visits Har Habayit, he will remind the world that contrary to the Islamists and "moderate" Abbas, there was a Jewish Temple where the Jews prayed on which the Muslims built their mosque.

By the way..... why offending Peres at all!! he doesn't seem very happy in the pic, he's just politically correct which is something that people involved in politics and international affairs have to show... civility, respect, even if the other doesn't respect you sometimes, a bit of education doesn't hurt anyone... But your fanatical comments... believe me, is what hurts us here and abroad David.. Ability to see what is not there.. to judge Peres as if you and I or whoever were anyone to judge people to behave correctly.... maybe if u check your manners, if u invest your time working, going to the gym to relieve tensions, read a book... WE JEWS WOULDN'T look so dumb thanks to people like u!

"One thing that the three great monotheistic religions have in common is a special veneration for that holy city," The statment above might be true,but lets not forget that two of them ,christianity and islam,followed the original,Judaism,that was received by Hebrews directly from G'od 1200 years before christianity was created, and 1900 years before islam was. Anyone who don't want to aknowledge this FACT,is conivent to thievery. This big historic lie,sustained by thievery and murder must end,once and for all.

Israel will learn but it will be very painful. The many years of ignoring the will of Hashem and bowing to the will of the nations comes with a price. The compromise and appeasment Israel engages in always leads to the same place. There is a faithful remnat in Israel , a small remnant. There is no such thing as 'extreme left' in Israel as the godless left government media followers of Satan only makes war against the religious Jews who believe God's word. If the kapo Israeli leftist government of unJews call you an extremist than you are a Jew. They don't like Jews who have a spine,only those who always bend to the will of the state and the nations. If you bend to the will of God you are the enemy of this state and this world. This is Satan's war on the saints,the remnant spoken of by the prophet Daniel.

Rome's brand of christianity is Pagan. So too are the eastern orthodox and their icons. When I was a child these pagans had me kneel in forn of a statue of Mary and pray to this false idol. The Roman church is paganized christianity and this is why Islam is so dear to them,they have the same father as do the godless leftist unJews. As with Israel only a small remnant of Christians truly serve and fear and obey God.

I am not sure I get your point- I KNOW you think Christianity pagan worship, etc. Islam is NOT dear to Christianity at all- have you forgotten Spain and Islam? Seems to me, you are making up history as it pleases you. Besides: what does this have to do with this visit? It is a visit not a crusade- the pope has not said anything to insult or offend Jews- as far as I know. You are talking about your own government in israel the same way you are talking about other religions, everybody who does not think like you is a leftist, an anti-semite, a secular Israeli which in your eyes must be worse than any of the above.... Your people are your own worst enemies- you fight each other- calling each other un-Jews, leftist, godless---- wow--- . Not even the 'pork-eating idol-worshiping' Christians talk about each other- OR other religions like this- I am learning a whole new language and list of insults on TB- fancy that.

The Holy Bible prophesied about this entity and identified it as follows: The Book of Daniel--- "the Little Horn." The Book of 2Thessalonians--- "the Man of Sin," "the Son of Perdition," "the Lawless One." The Book of 1John---"the Antichrist." The Book of Revelation---"The woman (church) was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication (the mixture of Christianity and Paganism)." "Babylon The Great." "The Mother (mother church) of Harlots (false Christian churches) and the Abominations of the Earth." "the woman (apostate church) drunk with the blood of the saints..." (the history of the Papism that shows it persecuting and ravaging GOD's people during the Dark Ages). The Book of Revelation reveals that behind this entity is the Dragon-Satan.

Im sorry David to tell you that unfortunatly for u the messiah already came and sadly you missed him, hopefully you wont miss him the second time around, it doesnt matter if you dont believe in him or if you where raised no to believe in him, Jesuschrist "the Living Messiah" believes in you.

I wonder why so much hatred against christians! The pope is calling for peace and thats how you react! You want him to call for war and the sword so u can call him a terrorist and fight him with all means possible! Jesus is love, love your enemies the way you love yourselfes, i dare you bring more beautiful words! remove the hate and the evil from your hearts and see the truth the pope wants everyone to see.

u just know the truth

Here we don't want you. This little visit is costing the taxpayer millions of dollars. He wants to get political start pushing the police process and what the solution to Jerusalem should be. He is here to try get his hands on prime Jerusalem real estate for Vatican. Peres also said last week that Israel should give soverignty over all christian holy sites in Jerusalem to Vatican. This trip isn't going to be sitting in his little pope mobile and waving to the crowds. We should be holding demonstrations in the streets telling him to go home remind him that other than the christians and the muslims who are looking to use his visit as an excuse to push their political cause he isn't wanted. He still hasn't changed his mind on his plan to give Pius XII sainthood. GO HOME HOLD MASS IN ST PETERS SQARE WHERE EVERYBODY LOVES YOU STAY OUT OF ISRAEL.
