The last pope came here about 9 years ago with a lot of pre-visit propaganda. There was a lot of ridiculous Christian speculation of influencing us Jews. Not only were the Jews unaffected, but I heard a Christian Arab say that the visit and the pope disappointed her--that all she saw was a weak old man who was the same age as her strong father-in-law. This time too the visit will be seen by Jews as just another reason for traffic jams. We don't need foreign leaders or celebrities coming here to make big impressions on themselves.

If you can prove Jesus was not born in Bethlehem you have just disproved the Bible. He most definitely was born in Bethlehem! I was there recently on my visit number 7.

Why should this one get all the glory? By the way his brother is a pederast boys' choir master in Germany

That is because the Pope volunteered for the Wermacht and, no matter how they spin it, was a loyal Nazi soldier. If the Nazis had won, he'd be conducting mass for the SS today. Still, things didn't turn out so well, so he's biding his time trying to beatify Pope Pius XVI, the very monseigneur who oversaw the Holocaust, and postwar, saved as many of Europe's Nazis as possible in his monasteries before shipping them out worldwide. And Peres and Israel are welcoming the Nazi to the Jewish state as if there is no moral dilemma. In 1994,.... the Israeli negotiator of the Jordan-Israel Water Treaty. He tearfully explained that Israel is going to offer so much of its water for "peace" that the country would desiccate itself with twenty years.

Its stupid when u label truth tellers people as anti-semitic, while its ok for you to mock, insult, and make of of our Lord Jesus Christ, our faith, and our pope. Yes, Jesus was a Jew... but do NOT forget he was a Palestinian Jew! not a zionist! The Pope is most welcome to Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Nazareth and to all Jesus Land! The Holy Land! Palestine! Yes we do care about his visit and we want him to come visit Palestine! and if you don't like it... too bad, just pack ur stuff and get back where u came from and leave our country!

YOU KNOW VERY WELL THAT ISRAEL EXISTED AS A JEWISH LAND BEFORE THE TERM "PALESTINE" WAS EVER INVENTED. KIND DAVID, KING SOLOMON, ALL ARE WELL KNOWN THROUGH OUT THE ENTIRE WORLD AS TWO FAMOUS THE KINGS OF ISRAEL. IF YOU ASKED KING DAVID OR KING SOLOMON WHAT IS "PALESTINE" OR "PALESTINIAN PEOPLE" ........ OR IF YOU ASKED FOR DIRECTIONS TO "PALESTINE" , THEY WOULD THINK YOU WERE REALLY LOST AS THERE WAS NO SUCH NAME "PALESTINE" INVENTED YET ....... THEY WOULD MOST LIKELY ANSWER ........NEVER HAVE HEARD OF IT. LITTLE DID THE JEWISH KINGS OR THE AVERAGE JEWISH INHABITANTS OF ISRAEL KNOW THAT SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE, SOME STRANGERS WOULD RE-NAME THEIR JEWISH LAND. IT WOULD NO LONGER WOULD BE CALLED ISRAEL OR JUDEA, OR SAMARIA........... THESE "STRANGE FOREIGNERS" SAID LET'S CALL THIS PLACE "PALESTINE" INSTEAD OF ISRAEL .......... THE NAME ISRAEL SOUNDS SO OLD FASHIONED, AND THE TERM "PALESTINIAN" WILL SOUND BETTER AND BECOME THE "NEW STYLE" AND THE NEW "IN FASHION NAME ". AND WHAT'S MORE LETS SAY IT BELONGED TO US FOREVER. SO #35....... AS TO YOUR "Christian, Jerusalem, Palestine" .......... I GUESS YOU AND YOUR "FOREIGNERS" WERE IN A PLACE NAMED "PALESTINE" FOREVER AND WILL SWEAR TO THIS UP AND DOWN........ WE ALL KNOW THE TRUTH........ AND WHEN YOU STATE THAT THE "POPE IS WELCOME" TO VISIT...... WELL YOU KNOW THAT AS A STRANGER OR A "GUEST " YOU CANNNOT WELCOME OR INVITE ANYONE TO THE LAND THAT DOES NOT BELONG TO YOU. YOU WILL BE MORE COMFORTABLE IN MECCA OR IN THE VATICAN THEN HERE IN THE LAND OF ISRAEL.
