A pilgrim of peace who often says the wrong thing does not understand peace.

HIS FAKE CHURCH HAS THE BLOD OF THE TRUE FOLLOWERS OF JESUS ON HER HANDS. TO LET THIS MAN INTO JERUSALEM IS THE SAME AS LET MUHAMMED IN. GO TO HELL WITH BOTH !!!. Orao.

apparently the pope is of the impression that Injustice and violence became a defining characteristic of the middle east only upon the creation of the State of Israel...

Lets not forget this POPE was an active participant in HITLERS NAZI YOUTH!

Orao, you are not allowed to be anti-Christian or anti-Catholic! It is a criminal offense, and you will be dragged kicking and screaming to jail in Italy, even if you are 100 years old, you SEMITE!!!!!!

If he can't say he is goig to Israel, he should stay home. He has no knowledge of what constitutes peace. Appeasment never worked.

Would you please stop by Tel Hashomer near Tel Aviv at the Sheba-Chaim Medical Center and go to the Respiratory Rehabilitation Building and ask to see Ariel Sharon? I believe he is being sedated too much against his will and even Amnesty International and the International Red Cross and Red Crescent and many people in authority in Israel I have asked to determine if he is a political or rabinical or medical or family prisoner have gone unheeded. At least he has not been involuntarily euthanized as happened to Prime Minister Rabin who was shot in a hospital when he was recovering from wounds. I believe a Coups-de-Etat occurred and I have no way to help General Sharon with armed guards standing in the way and refusing to allow me to see my dear friend for years. This is very distressing, but I am thankful Ariel Sharon is still alive since the ELS Bible codes at www.biblecodedigest.com say there is a code "HASHEM LOVES A(riel) SHARON" that tells me his being alive is a protection for many people from God's love for him. The Lord showed me a vision of Rome taking Jerusalem near his room, as if he is a prisoner like the Jews who were taken captive by Romans. If he is a secret Jesuit priest, perhaps you could find a way for him to be released. Doctors cover each others misdeeds and bury their mistakes, so I don't know who to trust to make a determination if he is being sedated against his will and is a prisoner. What I do know is that when the media was saying he was in a coma, I felt his love for me telepathically, as did many other women in Israel I spoke to about that. They did not believe he was unconscious, either.

As a Catholic, I am sorry to say that this POPE is not a believer in peace. Every statement he makes , antagonizes someone. The number of Catholics not liking him is staggering. How we miss John Paul the Second... He was a wonderful man... letting the Pope in Israel is a big mistake, but, would Israel say he is not welcome would make Israel look bad. The Pope will side with the pals and make Israel look the villain...I guess once a Nazi always aNazi.

and your sense of justice is a bad joke. The church was born in blood. bloodied everyone else's history for 2000 years, and is apparently dying with severe dementia.

An indication of the seriousness of the Pop's intention to convert to Islam can be seen in the fact that he was recently asked not to give any word about crucification for the media, presumably, a sign that the conversion is imminent.

... he's the leader of a flase church. 60 years? Is that injustice from the time the arabs declared an unending war on the legitimate, UN authorised state of Israel? Or if he means something else, well, he'd be better off staying in Rome. I'd rather have died than served in Hitler's youth squad.

... might want to pray in the Dome of the Rock, where it says on the ceiling God has no Son. What does he think of that? Would the WAQF welcome him?

If these are the words of the pope it amounts to a declaration of intent to accept and promote the Anti Jew Narrative that has been promoted by the liberal left and muslim world over the last 40 and 100 years respectively. It would appear that the anti Israel Obama and the Vatican are coordinating and joining forces to try and break down the resolve of the Jewish people in Israel. It wont work instead it will stiffen our resolve as we have not forgotten the betrayal of the liberal western world and the Catholic church as they sent a jewish generation to its death.

....more like 3600+ years. Astonishing when people think this conflict is new.

There's something to be wary of someone who would allow borrowing books rather than just giving them.

included in the Pope's quote and, therefore, am wondering if this is the Associated Press' idea of being inflammatory by inserting their opinion, or if it was said later in the Pope's speech. Again, why is this part not included in the quotation marks if it is indeed being attributed to the Pope??? I also find it odd that in the same sentence that the Pope declares Israel as the land "of our lord's birth, death and resurrection" he also includes his as one of the "world's three great monotheistic religions". Isn't that rather oxymoronic? How could a religion believing in a god with a flesh and blood son - and don't forget the "holy ghost" - be anything other than Polytheistic (or at the very least "Tri-theistic)?

Pope Benedict said the "land of our lord's birth, death and resurrection, a sacred place for the world's three great religions - has been plagued by violence and injustice" for 60 years. The "lord" whom Pope Benedict refers to is on Israel's side. He is not on the side of Israel's enemies, nor is he neutral as the Vatican (Pius XII) was during the second world war. It is not right to be neutral in the face of a great moral evil. The "lord" is not on the side of the Vatican, nor is he on the side of injustice. The Jews have suffered centuries of injustice and violence at the hands of the Church.

WHY SHOULD WE LISTEN TO SOMEONE THAT TELLS PEOPLE IN AFRICA NOT TO USE CONDOMS ANYWAY????

The State offers free help for folks like you. If it does not work and you are still in distress you can be instituitionalized and looked after, gratis, until the end.

Orao, you are not allowed to be anti-Christian or anti-Catholic! It is a criminal offense, and you will be dragged kicking and screaming to jail in Italy, even if you are 100 years old, you SEMITE!!!!!! Pal Pal , The M E (05.02.09) DEAR FELOLOW BEEING. I AM VERY CONFIDENT IN THIS MATTER, THAT GOD IS OF THE SAME OPINION AS MYSELF, AND ALSO, THAT YOU DO NOT KNOW NEITHER GOD OR JESUS CHRIST, ITALY WILL IN THE DAY OF JEHOVAH GO TO HELL, ROM AS A CITY WILL BE DESTROYED ACCORDING TO THE APOCALYPSE OF JOHN, LIKEWISE THE FAKE SO CALLED ROMAN KATOLIK CHURCH. AND BESIDES, THE TRUTH IS NEVER A BLASHPHEMY, EXEPT AMONG LIERS AS THE CATOLIKS ARE, THEY ARE NO CHRISTIANS, BUT IN ERROR. THE ROMAN SO CALLED CATOLIK CHURCH, IS IN THE APOCALYPSE OF JOHN CALLED, " THE GREAT HARLOT", DRUNK WITH THE BLOD OF THE FOLOWERS OF JESUS. FURTHER, I AM NO SEMIT BUT AN JAPHAIT, OF INDOEUROPEEN ORIGIN, MY NAME ORAO IS SERBIAN, AND THE SERBIANS OR ALL SLAVS IS A GERMAN PEOPLE OF ARMENIAN STOCK. THE SONS OF GOMER WAS - TOGARMA. GOD BLESS THE THRUTH, HIMSELF. ISRAEL CHAI. Orao.

how israelis always think they handled a problem because they make some public statement, not understanding that the vatican,usa, eu, just nod and then laugh at them behind their backs before biding their time and undermining israel when the moment is right. israelis play a naive,juvenile brand of politics. obama just forced bibi to withdraw from lebanon as a condition to visit him in america, lol spanked again

Over the years, numerous reports have emerged that the Vatican catacombs house treasures taken by the Romans from our Holy Temple in Jerusalem. The Vatican has remained silent on this issue and has never officially permitted anyone to enter their basements to confirm that they, in fact, have artifacts of the Jewish Temple locked away for eternal safe-keeping. Maybe now the Pope, as a good will gesture to the Jewish people, will finally peel away the veil of secrecy and reveal what the Church has hidden for centuries.

idiot! "obama just forced bibi to withdraw from lebanon", you say????? the world is not aware that bibi or israel is in lebanon. where in lebanon has bibi been? and where is obama forcing israel to withdraw from lebanon. you must be an arab muslim. they usually come up with such moronic comments. but, we forgive you. you can't help it coming from a religion/mentality that has not developed in centuries sameer aboughaze

of mosques in Beit Lechem, he won't be so sympathetic toward the Islam.

The previous Pope was a man of peace. He had true faith in G-d and love of mankind. This Pope, however, is an ex Nazi. I wouldn't trust him at all. As it says in Fiddler on the Roof "May G-d bless him and keep him far away from us".

Jesus himself said he came to bring war to the world and to cause Jewish brother to turn Jewish brother over to death. Does the pope not represent Jesus' legacy and message? Can he say peace if Hashem will not give it? One God and a people doing his law. Then he may give it. Sheeps and wolves and a failed corrupt leadership.

The prophesies of Rabbi Yeshua are grim. In the book of Luke, he says his followers will be hated of all men and that kinfolk will turn on each other. Rabbi Michael Rood thinks there is a reason for the haters attacking the hated in the churches, which has come to pass and will get worse. It is the disappointment at the wrongful teaching of a secret rapture of church goers so they don't go through troublous times. The real rapture will happen after most of the troubles and afflictions, with angels gathering the elect from the four corners of the earth before Armageddon at the sound of the last trumpet of judgments. It is something that will be seen by the whole world. Those left behind will suffer immeasurably as the earth is cleaned with fire.
