1. And the world thinks we have to make peace with them
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (05.11.09)
They are not ready for peace. Maybe in a few hundred years, but not in any of our lifetimes, or those are our great grand children's
2. They have no respect for anyone or anything not theirs!
EST ,   Miami USA   (05.11.09)
3. Pope gets a taste of what Israel is dealing with
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (05.11.09)
He probably thinks this is just "one guy", but the bigotry and "victimhood" is widespread.
4. who is conducting the orchestra?
Marcel ,   Florida   (05.11.09)
The Price Tag of Islamic Compliance to the New World Order The price tag that the Islamic countries would seek to be in negotiations to be part of the New World Order may be the attempted or allowed destruction of Israel itself, without any intervention by the US. Israel is the fly in the ointment anytime there are any foreign policy discussions between the US and major Islamic powers. Anytime we want to further an agenda in the Middle East, Israel has to make a concession in her fight for survival. Barack Hussein Obama is openly turning his back on Israel more and more each and every day. This may well be by design - by using Israel as a bargaining chip in an effort to bring Islamic countries to the Globalist Government table. The New World Order would have to have the Islamic countries on their side, at least for a time in order to bring everyone under a one world government. This evens the odds with regard to China and the military and economic problem that China presents. Israel, if she were to either comply with the illegal requests from the United States to relinquish sovereignty and surrender land to the Palestinians or if she chooses not to comply, the result could be a Palestinian state forced into existence through war or economic pressure. The fact that Hussein Obama is even considering nullifying our 40 year old nuclear agreement with Israel by exposing the level of her nuclear arsenal and disclosing the locations of her nuclear armaments, insisting that Israel disarms, could spell out a death warrant for the small sovereign nation. Those nukes and the support of the United States have been Israel’s insurance against attacks by neighboring Muslim countries. Hussein Obama is threatening to remove both. The additional price tag is that democratic countries have to implement Islamic influence into their governmental structures. This has been obvious in the UK and is becoming more apparent in the United States. Barack Hussein Obama was chosen, not elected. http://homelandsecurityus.com/?p=2745
5. Speech!!!
AARON ,   Jerusalem   (05.11.09)
I was at this meeting and it is not true that Sheikh Tammi have interupted the Pope's Speech. He spoke after all the speeches said.
6. Palestinian clergy interrupts Pope
Ruth Sklar ,   Williamsport, USA   (05.11.09)
#4: You need to read more than hysterical writings by paranoid people. Use your head: How could President Obama have been chosen in a democracy which voted overwhelmingly for him? What group could undermine the electoral process? Stop ranting about a "New World Order"!
7. Thanks Sheikh Tamimi for conveying our suffering
Nour ,   Palestine   (05.11.09)
The Pope should listen to our plight, x-ians and muslims alike.
8. Sheikh Tayssir
Brod ,   USA   (05.11.09)
should have been dragged by the Police and locked in jail for spewing his venom on Israel. Meanwhile, the Pope should stop making speeches and return home. Israel does not need all these distractions to undermine its national security interests and its focus on Iran's nuke threat.
9. NEWSFLASH
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (05.11.09)
Pope kicks Sheik who rudely interrupted him squarely in the nuts.Sheik Taiseer the Tosser was then tasered by the police and the Sheik was then Shaking all over.
10. I Personally Witnessed The Rude
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (05.12.09)
Interruption of the Pope by Sheikh Tosser .The Pope,to his credit,responded with great dignity and calm.He responded in Latin : Hijus Mio,repetitus interruptum causus bootum In Rectum Firmus which translates as : Listen sonny boy,if you dare interrupt me again you will feel my boot where the sun does not shine.
11. #10 - LOL! One of the best posts on the subject! Hats off!
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (05.12.09)
12. Lawrence kinky, very kinky.
petra ,   uSA   (05.12.09)
13. # 10 LAwrence a whole lot O' Shiek in going on.
petra ,   uSA   (05.12.09)
sorry, couldn't resist.
14. I'm serious, invite him to the obumma/Bibi meeting. It will
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (05.12.09)
be educational for obumma to see what these people are truly like.
15. #7 - Thanks Tamimi for continuing the lie
William ,   Israel   (05.12.09)
I would have considered it a just act if the Pope turned to Tamimi and asked "if your mosques are so holy, why do you store arms in them? If your women and children are so beloved, why do you hide behind them" Apparently, even Christianity cannot tame the hated, bigotry, and blindness which boils within the Palestinian.
16. Reminds me of the lobby of an Adam Ant concert.
Ypip ,   Canada   (05.12.09)
17. Sheikh Tamimi was actuaylly quite correct!
Ben Alofs ,   Bangor   (05.12.09)
Israel has been and still is commiting crimes against the Palestinian people. It did kill defenseless women, children and senior citizens in the Gaza Strip in January. It's treatment of the Palestinian people under occupation is an affront to basic decency. Israel violates international law. Tell me, where was Sheikh Tamimi factually wrong?
18. LOL
anonymous   (05.12.09)
Very funny story. I'm thoroughly amused at the mighty ruler of Vatican City and the head of the Catholic church's response--leaving immediately?! Why? Why didn't he just refute the sheikh?
19. #7..nour.. SUFFERING BUT HAS LOTS OF TIME TO SPEW HATRED !
ABRAHAM ben JACOB ,   CANADA   (05.12.09)
#7 NOUR..... STATES " Thanks Sheikh Tamimi for conveying our suffering ". THE SHEIKH WAS NOT REALLY CONVEYING ANY SUFFERING....... THIS SHEIK CONVEYED THE SENSELESS BLIND HATRED AND RASCIST ATTITUDE THAT PERMEATES THE PAL-ARAB CULTURE. THERE NEED NOT BE ANY OF THIS "SUFFERING " BUT THE PAL-ARABS AS USUAL COMPLAIN ABOUT ANYTHING RATHER THAN FACING REALITY AND TRY SEEKING A BETTER LIFE............... THIS BETTER LIFE IS ATTAINABLE WITHOUT PAL-ARABS RIOTING AND ROCKETING. INSTEAD OF PLANTING AND BUILDING GREEN HOUSES, THEY BUILD ROCKETS......... THE PAL-ARABS SEEM TO HAVE A CULT-LIKE WISH TO BE FOREVER MISERABLE AND COMPLAINING. NOUR... STATES............ 'The Pope should listen to our plight, x-ians and muslims alike ".......... WHY DID nour LEAVE OUT THE JEWS WHO SUFFER FROM BOBINGS AND ROCKETS AND BOMBINGS FROM HIS STATEMENT ? AGAIN THIS PAL-ARAB HATRED, AND RASCIST VIEWS REVEALS THAT THESE PAL-ARABS LOVE TO HATE AND BLAME OTHERS MORE THAN THEY WANT TO LIVE IN PEACE AND PROSPER. AND THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE IN THE WORLD LIKE IN DARFUR WHO ARE REALLY IN TERRIBLE SUFFERING......... DARFUR SUFFERERS WOULD LOVE TO CHANGE PLACES WITH THE PAL-ARABS, AND EXCHANGE THEIR OWN REAL HORRENDOUS CONDITIONS FOR......... THE RELATIVE SAFETY, FOOD, SHELTER, AND THE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF U.N. DOLLARS THAT ARE FLOWING IN TO THE " SUFFERING PAL.-ARABS " .
20. #18
Lisa   (05.12.09)
very amusing anonymous- I am sure the Pope was amused too- He must have thought: "let them fight it out-" they are at it again..... Was it his fight? Why didn't the rabbis respond? Did you expect an 82 year old man getting into a fist fight- what language did the Sheik speak? Maybe the Pope did not get the entire story..... they should have translated it for him..... Maybe the Sheik could have thrown his hat instead?
21. To Aaron #5. YNET, What is The Need ?
Maansingh ,   The Netherlands   (05.12.09)
You say :”.. it is not true that Sheikh Tammi have interrupted the Pope's speech.” That means that Ynet is disseminating wrong info. That means that Ynet is cooking things up. WHY should Ynet do that ? Ynet, what is the need for doing that ?
22. Arabs are just emulating Jewish history
Paul ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (05.12.09)
What the Arabs have attempted to do doing in the last 60 years is create a victimization theory for themselves by engaging in a strategy to emulate the Jew's Holocaust experience, and thereby gain world sympathy. It worked for the Jews, just get 6 million slaughtered and you will get a state based on international sense of guilt. Only problem is that 6 million Jews where actually murdered, unlike the Arabs who are worldwide hostile aggressors, In order to paint themselves as victims, Arabs had to revise history, claim Jews as an illegitimate population to the region, justify their aggression, and resuscitate antisemitism to the world. This actually works since Arab's entire history is emulating the Jews, first with the chosen-people religious theology through the Koran, now through self-imposed suffering,
23. to #7 lol he wasn't even invited, now
ghostq   (05.12.09)
every one see the agresive ways of muslem religious leaders, the pope didn't like that provocation, and left, so much like the entire rout of history the palis missed oppetunity by displaying them as violent non tolerance people.
24. There Once Was An Insolent Sheikh
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (05.12.09)
A gross error he did make,for one does not have a hope if one interrupts the Pope,the Pope said "go jump in the Lake."
25. why was it embarrassing?
Max   (05.12.09)
Because he refused to play the hypocritical ecumenical game?
26. To #22 Paul, you are so correct!
EST ,   Miami USA   (05.12.09)
The only glaring fact that people tend to overlook is that while Jewish population did indeed diminish by 6 million, during the Holocaust the so called Palestinian is growing by the millions in their "holocaust"/"genocide" whatever misnomer you care to use.
27. Bravo to Sheikh Tamimi: he is absolutly right!
Observer   (05.12.09)
it was the only way to expose to international medias what everybody knows but cannot expresses loudly. the illegal occupation of Palestine must end and all the settlers must return to where they came from.
28. See the truth
Tevye ,   Colorado springs   (05.12.09)
Yes, we certainly can't have the Pontiff standing up for the oppressed and persecuted, now can we?
