1. So... make your words be
Keren IL-BR   (06.26.12)
transalted into actions; curb Iran and Hizbullah.
2. Hmmm -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (06.26.12)
I think you will see this man, the Russian Pharao do evil things to the Jews in Russia because, the Interessts of Russia comes first and States has no moral. The Russian Jews should prepere for Aliya Arn.sweden.
3. Know what else gives Putin a "special feeling?"
Devorah   (06.26.12)
Israel has the world's motherlode of oil and shale, and Putin wants a piece of the action. Last week, Israel and a Russian-backed oil producer, Rosneft, met regarding the possibility of Russia being a player in the development of Israel's offshore natural gas fields. The consultations ended with Rosneft getting snubbed.
4. Great !
Adam Neira ,   Paris, France   (06.26.12)
This is great to see. President Putin as leader of one of the most important nations on Planet Earth was wise to make these visits in the Old City. Prayers for Russia. P.S. He also has a big part to play in the Middle East peacemaking game.
5. It would not be my way, but I admire Putin's gestures.
Michael ,   California, USA   (06.26.12)
Putin is sincere, he expresses himself clearly and I admire Putin. Perhaps Western Wall visit is an agenda of some sort, political agenda directed to his comrades in Russia, but we can accept realpolitik. Personally, I would not go to the Western Wall, but I would go to the Yad va'Shem. At Yad va'Shem I would remember the 20 million Russians who perished during the war along with 6 million Jews. I would remember Russia which gave Europe and Israel the chance to recover from Nazism. Putin reaches to more ancient history and that's as symbolic as what I would do. President Putin, please accept my salute from California, for you are a great leader, a great man.
6. Around the corner
Ariel ,   Haifa   (06.26.12)
We should have a situation where the spiritual and political leaders of nations would come to the temple mount to pray and get inspired and consult with sages-scientists-geniuses that will comprise a new UN and find answers to their problems back home.
7. Red Army
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (06.26.12)
I hope he's luckier than Obama and doesn't have his kvittel published! The Red Army deserves its recognition for turning the tide against Nazism.
8. If I am not mistaken
Mara ,   Vienna   (06.26.12)
the underlying meaning of "You can see how the Jewish past is engraved in the Jerusalem stone," is an recognition of Jerusalem as a JEWISH city above all! If that is so the Pals might be frustrated!
9. #8 Mara - Good one!!!
Devorah   (06.26.12)
It also means that Russia has no business participating in the charade known as the Quartet.
10. He was so determined to visit Kotel,he came at 0130Thank you
Alan ,   SA   (06.26.12)
Mr Putin..A great gesture by Russian Federation President..Very much appreciated comments by him..
11. Vladimir Putin is a strong man that Russians need.
Rivkah   (06.26.12)
But I hope he does not lead the Russian army and Middle Eastern nations listed in Psalms 83 or Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39 in a war against Israel. That will result in 6% of the armies that attack Israel, surviving according to the Holy Scriptures. President Putin must beware of the hook that the Lord will put in his mouth to draw him to war in the Middle East, to destroy the armies that attack Israel. Is God of Magog the same as the Anti-Christ or False Prophet? There are many anti-Christs and one world leader at the end of Gentile world rule. T. Chase at www.revelation13.net believes Vladimir Putin has a role in endtime events (end of the era not the world). He must beware of this and ask the Lord to let it be someone else and not him. If he is the Anti-Christ, he will go into the rebuilt Third Temple which is rebuilt off site now and say he is God when he is not.
12. Mr lieberman must have played a big role in his visit

13. #1Was not written by me.
Keren ,   IL-BR   (06.26.12)
I am not aware of such Putin's words,but the foolish fake trying to impersonate me obeyed my line of thought this time. Keep being obedient,ok?
14. For all comment here that bad mouth Putin
Iranian Hunter   (06.26.12)
Shame on you for critisizing Putin brave honest direct visit to the western wall. Unlike your president or community organizer in chief. That man can fight and that man is the ONLY one brave enough to say facts not like your arab funded presidents that are dhimmis and politcally correct and would not admits Israel exist way before "Palestine" ever did. All you need is read non arab funded history book.
15. 11 correction: Gog of Magog.
Rivkah   (06.26.12)
16. I repeat, Russia was,is, always have a BIG role on Israel
Iranian Hunter   (06.26.12)
first of all, the most important fact of all facts for anti-Russian europeans, Iranians ( i know), Americans here: Without Russia, there would be no jews. Hitler was killing almost all of the jews, while his arab friends and turks are killing jews in the middle east. fact number 2, without Soviet Union help and support, there would not be a state of Israel. and many more. It is naive and arrogant and downright lying to say Russia do not have any contributions to Israel. This is a dire time for Israel, if Russia decides to strengthen Iran, we can not win and may God preserve us and help us. Because there is no way Israel can win against Egypt, Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the combined might of the mujahideen of Saudi, Afgan, Pakistan, while the Indonesians and malaysian and bangladesh finances them with their "charity".
17. Thank you Putin, and may Russia and Israel be closer.
Iranian Hunter   (06.26.12)
18. Putin
Leon ,   Grand Rapids USA   (06.26.12)
He deserves an award as "best actor of the year". Marvelous histrionics !
19. Hussein O. still prefers to stay away from
Chris Rettenmmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (06.26.12)
the holy site...GUESS WHY !
20. #5 I agree with you
A ,   Belgium   (06.26.12)
Putin should have gone to Yad VaShem. However, I think his Israeli hosts might have been more than a bit embarrassed if they had to explain to him what the Neturei Karta filth spray painted on the walls there.
21. Nr 11 and 15.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (06.26.12)
Surely Russia needs Putin, the Hardline Psychopath, for the difficult time, which is ahead of Russia. Russia is in danger of splitting and hard meassuries are neded to ceep Russia whole. And Yes he is Russias Leader in 3rd World War but, He is not Gog of Magog which is Japan and China. Israel will face two great enemies, a Religious and a Political one, the Al-Mahdi of Shia-Islam rising in Irak, and The Political rising in EU. The False Prophet is islam or Saba/Yemen and Dedan/Saudiarabia In short. Arn.Sweden..
22. Rapture and Tribulation
W ,   U as s   (06.26.12)
11, 15, 21 If Moscow does hold peace talks, offers peace & Israel accepts it is day one of the Tribulation. All of His believers will be raptured. Are you ready? Maranotha!
23. Nr 22. You are in error !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (06.26.12)
Israel will face Tribulation all right, but not Rapture, Rapture is for individuals in New Testament Christianity. Israel will not Experience Rapture but Descent thus - Zechariah 14 14 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. 2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished. And half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 3 Then shall the Lord go forth and fight against those nations, as when He fought in the day of battle. 4 And His feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east; You are a victim to false doctrine. Arn.Sweden.
24. Nr 14. You are unmatured in Politic !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (06.26.12)
What Putin Privately believe and stands for, and, what He as the President of Russia must do, is two different things. Arn.Sweden.
25. 21 Arn, Sweden: There is much speculation on the identity
Rivkah   (06.26.12)
of Scriptures' prophesied events and people. It takes time and the unfolding of events to eliminate some theories. Daniel in Scriptures says the understanding of his visions is sealed until the end times (end of era not the world). When is the generation that these end time events all unfold? Some think that last generation before the Messiah comes started in 1948 with the State of Israel. Others think it started in 1967 with the capture of Jerusalem as Israel's capital city. Irvin Baxter on tv believes the last generation begins when the Anti-Christ enters the rebuilt Third Temple (is rebuilt offsite) and says he is God when he is not and there is a slaughter in the West Bank (Judea). President Putin is in power and he is lining up as the head of a coalition of nations mentioned in Psalm 83 and Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39. I hope he is not Gog of Magog or the Anti-Christ which could be two different people. The Muslim Mahdi is more likely the Anti-Christ and that could be BHO. The false prophet could be a Pope or someone else. We will see these unfold, likely in our lifetime.
26. Nr.25. I Dont Speculate !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (06.26.12)
In short. Arn.Sweden.
27. Error... Not!
w ,   USA   (06.26.12)
#23: "While individual Jews must come to Christ for salvation, God is still not finished with Israel as a nation. The Bible tells us that in the end times, Israel will finally recognize Jesus as their Messiah (Zechariah 12:10). Jeremiah 33:8, Ezekiel 11:17, and Romans 11:26 predict that in the end times Israel will be regenerated, restored, and regathered in their homeland. This regathering took place in 1948 when Israel was recognized as a sovereign country by the United Nations. (Please see our article on Israel’s role in the end times.) Clearly, God is not finished with the Jewish people." My doctrine is from the bible which is not false. God Bless you!
28. Nr 27. Oh Yes -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (06.27.12)
Israel will still not Experiense a Rapture, and your post at nr 27 does in no way contradict what i Wrote in nr 23. Arn.Sweden.
29. 26 Arn, Sweden: Some things cannot be known for certain
Rivkah   (06.27.12)
until they come to pass. As the late great German Chancellor Conrad Adenaur said, "I reserve for myself to be smarter today than I was yesterday." That should be your motto when time and events unfolding show you to be in error, as much as you tried to be correct. To say you do not speculate when that is all anyone can do on some things, is in error.
30. 29 correstion: "I reserve for myself the right to be smarter
(06.27.12)
today than I was yesterday." Konrad Adenaur.
