4. Remember What Happened at the Church in Betlehem?
marcohoe ,   san Francisco, USA   (05.09.14)
Did the Vatican say anything to Abbas, the PA or the PLO when Muslims made a total mess of the Church of the Nativity in Betlehem? One very brave priest spoke up, but was he supported by the Church?
5. Does Vatican now speak for Islam?
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (05.08.14)
6. How about returning Jewish property?
Gee ,   Zickron Yaakov   (05.08.14)
The Catholic Church has stolen hundreds of synagogues and turned them into churches - when are those going to be returned? How about the hundreds of thousands of Judaica artifacts that the Vatican holds? Why don't you return the stolen property? What go does it do you goyim?
7. to the Pope
Steve Goodman ,   Israel   (05.09.14)
People who live in a glass house should not throw stones.....
8. Jail the Underground
Zechariah   (05.09.14)
Even Shamir Jailed the Underground but Prevention and Anger Management is Warranted here .The Price Taggers need Political Councelling or at Least There ought too much more guards for the Holy Places .

Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (05.09.14)
11. This pope ignores sexual abuses but lectures?
mea   (05.09.14)
What is becoming more and more apparent around Pope Fran is that he has steadfastly avoided confronting the horrific sexual abuses committed far and wide by his priests--but he has time to issue this warning about buildings. No surprises here.
12. Holy See urges
Ezra ,   SanDiegoUSA   (05.09.14)
It would be nice if the church sold off some of the properties it holds on Jewish land. How insensitive of me. lol
13. Pope's visit to Israel
Harold ,   USA   (05.09.14)
The Pope should think very carefully before visiting Israel because it is now the most dangerous place for Christians.
14. Damn it, the new Pappa has some old hutzpah!

16. # 113 Oh please !
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (05.09.14)
More Christian priests and their flocks are murdered in Muslim lands than any place on earth. Not a word from your ignorance or the ignorant pope. Same twin headed dummies. Go save some Catholic altar boys who're repeatedly raped in the name of the "church." To my knowledge, there are NO dead Catholics murdered by Jews in Israel you lying maggot. Maybe there should be to avenge those once innocent Catholic altar boys? KEEP BUILDING ISRAEL FOR JEWS !!!!
17. # 14 They all do.
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (05.09.14)
Chutzpah is free the Vatican can't buy honor or truth. And their sins pile high to heaven. KEEP BUILDING !!!!!
18. # 11 Pope ignores sexual scandals.
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (05.09.14)
It's also called "Professional Courtesy.' Part of the 'abstinence' for the Vatican included a menu of fresh altar boys on a regular basis for their known pedophile priests they've been practicing this horror show for eons. No matter who the pope is, in this case a former Argentinian bouncer who'd rather lecture Israel about graffiti while ignoring the incest in 'church and minor boys scandals.' Ah, such religion.... more politics and protection of the same demonic 'priests' that make the Vatican so horrific not only for Jews but young Catholic boys given up for some sick pedophiles that go unchecked or unpunished. On your knees fools. KEEP BUILDING !!!!!

y Allon ,   adelaide/Israel   (05.09.14)
Stop spreading lies.Christians come to Israel in droves and they love it here.As usual your post is full of nonsense.
20. To: No. 13
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.09.14)
As bad as Nigeria? How about Egypt? Or Lebanon? Or Indonesia? Or Mindanao? We know you are an idiot, Harold. You don't have to keep on proving it. That said -- as far as I am concerned, the pope can stay at home. At least until he learns how to say "State of Israel" instead of the "Holy Land."
21. No Ifs No Buts
Tim ,   Brighton   (05.09.14)
Ive seen how this type of graffiti can affect individuals A Jewish family in South London years ago whos house was daubed with a Swastika were absolutely traumatised - no violence or abuse but the Graffiti was just as much of a blow. Though the neighbours all got together to remove the graffiti, never knowing who did it - and with no one reprimanded - they were compelled eventually to quietly move out of the area These Price Taggers are NO BETTER. They are simply mindless stupid morons and the Government and the Israeli Media have got to show their full determination to find and arrest these oafs and get them to clean up and compensate for the mess
22. Really brilliant comments
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (05.09.14)
First Israelis anger 1.6 BILLION Muslims, now they want to anger 1.2 BILLION Catholics. Throw in a few other Christian off-shoots and pretty soon Israelis will have angered over half the 7 BILLION people on earth. Not bad for less than 7 million people.BTW - when push comes to shove, who do you think will win the coming battle? I suspect that the Israelis will be BIG losers. As a lot of classical literature has pointed out, INCLUDING the Torah, no group of humans can exist in isolation and small groups ALWAYS bend to the will of the majority eventually. Keep making enemies and see what that does for your future.
23. # 12 Need a good lawyer?

25. YNET creating Hate unnecessarily
MediaIncitement ,   Jerusalem Israel   (05.09.14)
a few scrawled notes by a tiny fringe group and YNET and the rest of the Israeli Media make it into headlines around the world showining the inbred hate of the left to the right and Judaism and are willing to stir up that hate against Jews everywhere .. this is sick. If YNET and other media toured Jewish Jerusalem and saw all the many many scrawled hate messages by Arabs against Jews on homes synagogues and walls there wouldn't be enough space to print them all but they never will Shame on the Leftist Israeli Media which consists of mainly self hating Jews who are willing to damage tourism and international relations stir up more Anti Semitism for the sake of their self hate they need to see psychologists !!
26. #13 Harold
Yerach ,   Jerusalem,Israel   (05.09.14)
You are so full of crap. It is safer here for Christians than in any Arab or Muslim country on earth. Christians have full freedom here unlike in Arab & Muslim countries. Th Vatican is trying to steal King David's tomb from the Jewish people & the world is silent about it. Wake up & learn the truth.
27. yeah right
marco ,   pardes hana, israel   (05.09.14)
28. The pope calling the kettle black....
Bandoo ,   Il   (05.09.14)
k.m.a...
29. yet
(05.09.14)
Millenia old Christian communities are being destroyed in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, PLO-controlled areas, and Egypt. Christian girls are kidnapped and systemically raped in Africa, yet the Vatican's main concern is some graffiti. The Vatican is no different than the US State Department and Israeli Left who ignore violent crimes performed by Arabs but are enraged by minor acts of vandalism possibly done by Jews.
30. To: No. 22
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.09.14)
Yeah, well, one of the benefits of being the Chosen People is that we don't really give a sh*t what anyone else thinks. Least of all the Roman Catholics. Do you have a clue as to how many Jews were slaughtered by the Church over the last two millennia? Far more than the Nazis killed, that's for certain. Funny, isn't it, how silent the Vatican was when Jordan dynamited 48 synagogues in East Jerusalem. I guess they were far too busy issuing Vatican passports to wanted Nazi war criminals to even notice. But you'd think they might have noticed that all Christian holy places and churches in Jordanian-controlled territory between 1948 and 1967 were allowed to fall into ruin, and Christian worship virtually prohibited. It was not until Israel took over in 1967, that Christian churches and holy places were restored, and normal worship resumed. The State of Israel footed the bill then, and continues to do so to this day. But don't let that interfere with your Jew-hating rant. I guess you find the truth inconvenient and annoying when it doesn't quite jive with your thought process (to the extent you have one, of course). Too bad for you. Israel is here to stay. Don't know about the churches and mosques, though.
