Thank you but I don't think you owe us an apology. It is the Muslims who have a lot to apologize for.
32. reconsider
mike ,   alton usa   (02.20.12)
i really think christian america should force our goverment to reconsider monetary support until we see a seperation of church and state in israel and other countries ,the ultra religious will accept money no problem but as to seeing us as anything more than to be taken advantage of is not their way.
33. @26 please give GPS co-ordinates for "Jesusalen"
(02.20.12)
I haven't found it on any of the internet maps I have looked at. Thank you.
34. @30 the definition for Hubris includes u!
(02.20.12)
Such humilty as yours I have not seen in a very long time!
35. @32 Church is separated from State in Israel...
(02.20.12)
It is the separation of Synagogue and State that is not complete. Now about the Tea Party and separation of Church and Nation in the USA and further when you take off your money "In G-d we trust" when all that's done THEN come back and be as self-righteous as you wish...meantime please do stand down!

B"H The fact is gentlemen that I do not distinguish between the different sects of xtians. Your differences maybe important to you but from a Jewish perspective, from the outside of your churches, let me assure you, you all look the same: As xtians you all recognize a new book that we do not, because we were told not to ever add to or take away from our original one, which is the Torah. As you all recognize a Jew as god and pray to him, your internal differences are irrelevant to me. The moment you renounce what I consider idol worshipping and accept upon yourselves G-d’s universal message, the seven Noahide laws, you will appear on my radar. Until then, no.
37. Could be Arabs
joe sombrero ,   USA   (02.20.12)
Could be Arabs or Left Wingers this sounds like a setup. Police said nationslistic motives code name for PA
38. @36 what if 20 & 21 r knowledgable Jews?
(02.20.12)
what if your point of view isn't connected to reality? what if the Jewish Bible and all of its commentary represent real knowledge and not just pick and choose as you do?
39. This particular church is probably the most pro-Israel...
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (02.20.12)
church in the capital and least deserving of this kind of treatment. It is also not the first time this church has been vandalized and has actually been set on fire a number of times.

Non-Jew ,   England   (02.20.12)
If you really must babble on in this inane fashion in every single talkback, would you please at least learn a little bit about punctuation.
41. #30, you may be smart but...
mea   (02.20.12)
You aren't psychic. Have you been to west Jerusalem? The chance that Arabs accomplished this is weak. Besides, not a single "price tag" crime has been attributed to Arabs rather than the Jewish settler youth. I find it interesting that so many people keep their prejudices in a cocked position and fire a round at any or all Arabs the first instant something happens. I am Zionist to the nth degree, but I can still weigh facts.
42. Even if Muslim-Arabs did it, it happened on the soil of...
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (02.20.12)
...Eretz Israel (Land of Israel) and in Jerusalem of all places, Zion, the spiritual and administrative center of the Jewish people and the capital of the Jewish ancient kingdom as is the capital of the liberal democratic nation-state of the Jewish people, Israel. Therefore, an apology is due for not having been able to prevent such an act of hate. Thus, my brothers and sisters who are of the faith of Christianity, do accept the apology of this proud Jew and Zionist, please.
43. @32
Bob ,   Au   (02.20.12)
"christian america should force our goverment to reconsider monetary support until we see a seperation of church and state" This is very self contradictory, is it not?
44. everyone take a deep breath!
Ari Ben Canaan   (02.20.12)
G-d willing, the perpetrators will be brought to justice, but we shouldn't be so quick to point fingers. This very well could've been Muslim vandals trying to stir tension between us Jews and our Christian friends.
45. Baptist church
Alice ,   Montreal, Canada   (02.20.12)
Baptist church IS NO FRIEND OF ISRAEL. They are Pro-Palestinian an-anti-Israel. Neverthelesse, I am against vandalism of any kind.
46. Apparently the Arab vandals are Barcelona fans! :-)
Sam ,   ME   (02.20.12)
it says 'Barcelona o bass' meaning Barcelona FC is the best !!LOL

how do you know it was arab?

Jonathan ,   MN/US   (02.20.12)
Congaulations! Your one of the few people on this site with a brain
49. Apology accepted.
Cindy ,   Denver, CO   (02.20.12)
I've been reading a lot about the ultra-orthodox jews who think they are "all that." No better than gangsters in the USA. No worries. We all know it's not the majority or even a large minority. I think the ultra-orthodox should listen to Proverbs and take heed to stop being slothful and idle. They need to stop mooching off the state and the state should cut off their control of marriages, who is and who is not a jew, etc. My family would make aliyah, but there is no way to "prove" our Scandinavian jewish heritage and we're not going the "orthodox" route. Sorry, but the ultra-orthodox behave exactly as the Moslems--selfish, lazy, cry-babies, greedy, arrogant, violent. Disgusting. Keep the faith Jehuhda. Many in the USA are supportive of Israel, despite our phony president who is ben in Israel's destruction. I hope we, and not he and his supporters win the day. G-d protect us all.

I was raised in a Baptist church and you are wrong. There are different branches of Baptists but I have not heard of one that is anti Israel or pro ersatz Palestinian.
51. zionists show their true antichristian colors
christianpalestinian ,   nyc   (02.20.12)
attacking a church anywhere in palestine is absolutely shameful
52. why I do not think this was done by Jews
Arnold ,   Canada   (02.20.12)
The "price tag" blame game is one in which any anonymous person can look to put blame on others. Analyze why Jews would want to antagonize the Christians in the Holyland. Then analyze why the moslems would want to put blame on the Jewish people. For the moslems it is literally "killing two birds with one stone" or tagging.
53. lol im deeply in love with the settlers *___*

54. #30
merle ,   usa   (02.21.12)
not saying you are not smart but based on your last post on your own criteria didn't it seem to lack logic?
55. sorry but you're wrong big time
Cyril Francis ,   Lorton VA   (02.21.12)
This is not done by Muslims or Arabs. This very much smells like some group who wear kippah and hate Christians and Christianity. I wonder what we call them and to what religion they belong?
