5. The Message from Rome are always
AlbertoGA ,   St. George UT, USA   (01.04.09)
At the wrong moment, and to critize JEWS and ISRAELIS for defending Israel. Rome was and is Antisemitic. No change.
6. Talks
Justice ,   NJ USA   (01.04.09)
"There are talks that are going on that would take us beyond the immediate violence into the sort of solutions we want..." Here we go again. The Arabs start a conflict and will once again rewarded with a deal. If Israel were smart, she would ignore all world pressure and push these thugs into the sea. Its that or Israel will not survive this in the long term. MAKE NO DEALS!!!! ITS KILL OR BE KILLED ISRAEL. WHAT YOU DO NOW HAS AN EFFECT ON ALL JEWS WORLD WIDE. MAKE THE DIFFICULT CHOICE AND FIGHT ON. COLLATERAL DAMAGE BE DAMNED.
7. Would he say the same thing if the rockets were falling
meir elazar   (01.04.09)
on the churches in Bethlehem, Jerusalem, and Nazareth? It is nice to tell others to accept the thousands of rockets launched at your citizens and turn the other cheek. The Vatican wasn't that gracious when Mehmet Ali Agca's attempt to assasinate the pope in 1981. And while we are at it lets now forget another nice Palestinian moslem Sirhan Sirhan who assasinated Robert F Kennedy.
8. who asked you?
eliezer ,   jerusalem   (01.04.09)
the popes have a tradition of loving to see the Jews suffer. From the earliest years they have been behind most of the pogroms in Europe. Who asked this continuation of anti-Jewish thought to stick his opinion in?
9. Message to Pope: Quit Interfering!
Ezra ,   san diego   (01.04.09)
Sit down, shut up and hold on. Your jesus people are taking care of business.
10. it's true that war won't solve holy land problems
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (01.04.09)
but since there is no better solution on the horizon, it's the next best thing and will do just fine in the mean time.
11. POPE :
gabriela ben ari ,   jerusalem   (01.04.09)
SHUT UP
12. SHUT UP, RATZINGER!
Christian ,   USA   (01.04.09)
The Pope should shut his trap. I did not hear any severe condemnation when from the vatican when terrorists occupied the church in Bethlehem. Israel is crushing those clowns that were calling for your head when you "insulted" their prophet some time ago, remember?
13. Pope's Crap
Brod ,   USA   (01.04.09)
Where was the Pope's outrage when Islamist-Jihadists were raining rocket bombs on Israel? Where was the Pope's outrage to global Islamist-Jihadist terrorism? The fact is Papism invented AntiSemitism and persecuted GOD's people since the Dark Ages. They worked hand in hand with Jihadism in exterminating 6 million Jews in the Holocaust of WWII. The Holy Bible says that the Papacy is the "Little Horn" in the Book of Daniel, the "Man of Sin," "Son of Perdition," and "Lawless One" in the Book of 2 Thessalonians, the "Antichrist" in the Book of 1John, and the "woman" (church) that "was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abomination and the filthiness of her fornication" (mixture of Christianity and Paganism). Revelation 17:4-18. The Book of Revelation reveals that behind the dark forces is the Dragon-Satan. In the End Time GOD destroys the dark forces.
14. What about the Inquisitions and the Crusades?
Steve   (01.04.09)
How can Pope Benedict ever wash away the blood that forever stains the Roman Catholic Church? His church. Then there was Pope Pius XII and his complicity with Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. Hitler was a Catholic in good standing as were other Nazis. None were excommunicated. How can this church ever be cleansed of all the inncoent blood shed in its name? Now this pontif speaks of war and peace. What does this man or his church know about peace or justice?
15. Browh: Why is this a "dangerous moment?"
Steve   (01.04.09)
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown says this is a dangerous moment. Israel has been fighting jihadists in Gaza for a few days and this is a dangerous moment. America has been fighting jihadists in Iraq and Afghanistan for better than five years and it is not a dangerous moment. Why, only when the Jews defend themselves against the jihadist onslaught is it a dangerous moment?
16. Hypocritical pope was happy with hamas rocketing ISRAEL!
GET REAL ,   USA   (01.04.09)
17. Deafening silence
Arie ,   BaGolan   (01.04.09)
For all the time hamass was firing thousands of rockets at our civilians in the Negev, all these foreign'leaders' were traditionally silent, since the victims were Jews! Now that we have decided to stop turning the other cheek each time, there is a great flurry of activity by those that have no issue with our being killed demanding we stop protecting ourselves.
18. Thank you Pope Benedict
Arie ,   BaGolan   (01.04.09)
For taking time out from your promotion of the beatification of Hitler's Pope and the beatification of Queen Isabella (mother of the Spanish Inquisition) to demand we stop protecting ourselves. Your training in the hitler youth was obviously well received
19. WWII stopped Nazi's and Japan
Marcel ,   Florida   (01.04.09)
The world community does not want Israel to defeat Hamas because thye like their Jews dead and defeated. It troubles them that tiny Israel can fight to defend themselves instead of being unarmed and led to sluaghter by those like Hamas intent on exterminating Israel. That is why they work so hard to restrain Israel and bring about another temporary ceasefire.
20. Don´t listen !!
Karl ,   Gothenburg   (01.04.09)
His doctrin is not from GOD, he is a pagan sun worshipper.A real christian bless Israel and the Jewish people.
21. ...shut the f**k up Ratzinger...
josef ,   switzerland   (01.04.09)
the main reason for converting into judaism and becoming a messianic Jew are all the hypocritism of this misleaded catholic religion and the corrupt, systematically lying Vatican. the Vatican is the main false prophet in christianity!
22. Dont welcome the pope in april
sanna ,   sweden   (01.04.09)
#13 you are perfectly right. Don´t let this abomination in to Israel. We are in the late days and maybe there will be a peace this time, but there will come more agressions, all world will go against Israel, and the only one who can give real peace is Abraham, Isacs and Jacobs GOD - we who belive in him Jews or Christian must turn our hearts to him and pray.
23. But the pop is infallible! He can't be wrong about this!
David ,   Hartford USA   (01.04.09)
You know, 'The Doctrine of Infallibility' that the popes GAVE THEMSELVES says that anything they say is the absolute truth! Right? WRONG! If not for the complete destruction of Nazi Germany and Japan in WWII by way of WARFARE, the good pope would be speaking GERMAN today. He's such a nutcase. If Hamas is destroyed, then talks may accomplish something. But there cannot be peace when Hamas states that its sole purpose of existance is to destroy Israel. So Israel has every right to destroy them first. GO IDF! The world is with you!!
24. War won't stop Holy Land problems
Debra ,   UK   (01.04.09)
In that case, stop the 2000 years old war against the Jews.
25. To Pope Benedict XVI
(01.04.09)
What would your highness do if anyone bombed the Vatican ? And, what would you do if they did that for the last seven years ? Would you have only prayed to G-d, would you have turned the other cheek or what ?
26. thank you pop...end
basima ,   ..........   (01.04.09)
27. Pope Benedict (Arnold) won't solve Holy Land problems
Israeli ,   Israel   (01.04.09)
28. I wholeheartedly agree
Paul ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (01.04.09)
War will not resolve the Middle East conflict. What needs to happen is for Christians and Muslims to acknowledge the historical, and religious right of Jews to the Land of Israel, and renounce their centuries old attempt to upsurge and replace the Sinai revelation with false prophecies, than peace will finally reign.
29. To the pope: we only have two cheeks!
(01.04.09)
30. THE POPE IS BLATHERING AGAIN
Petra ,   usa   (01.04.09)
PERHAPS HIS PEDOPHILE PRIESTS CAN GO TO IRAN?
