1. You reap what you sow...
Sam ,   Kfar Saba   (06.08.14)
doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome is the definition of insanity. Say no more...
2. What a useless and waste of time this is
Alan ,   SA   (06.08.14)
3. No, In Judaism It's A Blow To Idol Worshiper Mr. Peres!
Ariel ben Yochanan ,   Kfar Tapuah, Efraim   (06.08.14)
4. So the president of Israel - supposedly a Jewish country
Chaim ,   Israel   (06.08.14)
needs the pope to pray for peace in Israel..... Isn't Peres, a descendant of Rabbi Chaim Volozhin zt"l, ashamed of himself for going to the ritually impure to ask for his prayers, instead of to our holy Rabbis? Is it any wonder that the world does not want to recognize Israel as a Jewish state if the President of Israel doesn't?
5. Peres' Vatican peace summit is a blow
Chaim ,   Israel   (06.08.14)
not only to Netanyahu but to all Zionists who are desperate for the world to recognize them as Jewish. How Jewish are they if they need the ritual impure to pray for them instead of going to their own holy G-d fearing Rabbis?
6. This is our chance:deny Peres right of return! :-)
tom ,   tel aviv   (06.08.14)
7. What an ugly soul Peres must have, yichsa!
tom ,   tel aviv   (06.08.14)
8. A blow to Netanyahu?
george ,   ashdod   (06.08.14)
A blow to Netanyahu? This idiotic prayer fest only exposes Peres and Francis for the fools that they are.
9. The Vatican G-d Squad will convince Abbas to talk peace
Alan ,   SA   (06.08.14)
10. Hate
Abe4u ,   Haifa Israel   (06.08.14)
The Leftists hate for Bibi has no bounds. Do they really think that Bibi would prefer war over peace ? The Leftists always 'self hate ' us Jews. It's about time that they wake up and admit that all us Israelis want peace, but not at a ' suicidal price '. Now they want to close down ' Israel Hayom ' because the paper tells the truth and not only anti Bibi like Yidioth Akhronoth . Shame on you,
11. Sanction Peres
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.08.14)
The prime minister has the right to sanction any Israeli citizen. Peres is a doddering old fool, constantly exceeds the scope of his role as president, and doesn't nearly have as much support of the Israeli public as some think.
12. A blow to Netanyahu?
tiki ,   belgium   (06.08.14)
This PR stick/trick/stunt, is about some people having problems with dissapearing from the international limelight and tells us more about Peres than Netanyahu. One thing is sure, peace will not come out of it, how hard they will pray! But Peres, who has made backstabbing a virtue of life (Rabin/Netanyahu a.o.) should be ashamed of standing next to two people who both have 'replacement theory & final solution in their baggage & mind.
13. Peres? Pray?
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (06.08.14)
When was the last time he went to shul to daven for anything? He is an affront to the Jewish people and a hypocrite. Let him regularly pray three times a day with a minyan before he goes to church and pray with the Goyim. Does he even believe in G-d?
14. Israel's non Jewish president
Ronen ,   Jerusalem   (06.08.14)
Peres is violating the Jewish religion in this trip he does not represent the Jews .. he was brought to this position not by popular vote but by knesset in-dealing. and the only thing holy to him is peddling his country for approval
15. Support for the makers of peace. Bravo for Peres.
Michael ,   California, USA   (06.08.14)
Shame on all the war proponents of Israel. The world shows which side it is on and that the longest lasting conflict in the modern era has to come to a peaceful resolution. Bravo for Peres who is cementing his legacy of a widely recognized peacemaker.
16. 4 Chaim,Peres was granted ...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (06.08.14)
the senility not to be aware of his ridicule.
17. This is the First Time
Darren Ben John ,   Townsville Australia   (06.08.14)
This would be the first time that I have agreed with the words and actions of the one with the ski-slope head.
18. Attila - a great journalist in his own mind
Ben   (06.08.14)
Relentlessly driving his anti-Israel leftist agenda...
19. Cool off folks: Peres is a joke in US
Peter ,   NYC   (06.08.14)
20. Just a publicity stunt & everyone knows it
Scott ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (06.08.14)
21. Israel Law Centre; Please help Oslo Victims sue Peres/Labor.
Chaim ,   Israel   (06.08.14)
Peres has been prattling about "peace", while betraying and endangering Israel decade after decade. Hideous Oslo is only one chapter of Peres' war on Israel. But it murdered more than 1,500 Israelis and maimed over 14,000. I appeal to the Israel Law Centre to help bring Peres and Labor to justice over Oslo. You are doing magnificent work suing terrorists. Please help terror victims sue their equally guilty Israeli enablers. Help terror victims sue Peres and Labor. If there is a will, there is a way.
22. Peres constant pain in the State
rayS ,   USA   (06.08.14)
Please, Mr President, retire to some nice spot in the Alps , or a desert islant. Leave Israel alone. Just BEGONE>
23. Much bigger blow is that Peres will not ask Pope for Jewish
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (06.08.14)
artifacts from the Holy Temple stolen by Romans and hidden in Vatican cellars.
24. Peres is a disgrace
Daniel ,   TA - IL   (06.08.14)
the jesuit boy went to his masters. No real jew trusts or respects this backstabber
25. Jewish prayer is best served with a minion .
Roland ,   London England   (06.08.14)
A minion requires ten men.Nothing will come of it.It shifts the blame for man's troubles back to "G"D"
26. why is it a blow?
nadav ,   tlv   (06.08.14)
This is just a ceremonial meeting that was agreed upon by the outgoing President Peres. It has NOTHING to do with the PM and his diplomatic efforts. Patience is a virtue in the war of attrition against the Arab despots. It won't take long for the PA or Hamas to trip-up and governments will turn on them just as they did with Arafat during the 1st Persian Gulf war (too bad Israel rehabilitated that terrorist! PS, The Leftist media must stop the hate-mongering against our PM!
27. Itzhak Rabin
(06.08.14)
As the great Itzhak Rabin said, Peres is an immoral backstabber. It's funny that the Leftists still worship Peres after Rabin told the truth.
28. I do not wish Adon Peres ill....
Gideon Reader   (06.08.14)
...I just wish him,....away.
29. 16 I made a big mistake.This is wrong
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (06.08.14)
Peres has not this excuse.
30. Peres, use your own money.No tax $$s should support religion
Michael ,   California, USA   (06.08.14)
