1. Anyone that lets Peres kiss his derierre is a "Friend"!
tom ,   tel aviv   (02.12.13)
2. Really?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.12.13)
This Israeli considers him a Nazi. It would appear that his background bears this out. Did not volunteer? Get a grip. He was in the Hitler Jugend -- an all volunteer organization. Ayalon is making what he thinks are appropriate noises to an organization with clay feet made up chiefly of pedophiles. For shame.
3. B"H - Zionists, State, Keep Idol Worshippers Off The Kotel!

4. The Nazi, homophobic Pope

You have got to be HIGH.
5. to 2 . You don't know about what you bark
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (02.12.13)
so your "considerations" are worthless . the h. jugend was almost COMPULSORY , those who didn't participate could face big suspicions of anti nazi behaviour , children ejected of school . You an Israeli ? so why this USA in your adress ? You're only an alte ...... And your only answer will again be "you catholic" , will also show your stupid hate towards everyone who does not kiss your tachat .
6. to 2 h. jugend

By December 1936, HJ membership stood at just over five million. That same month, HJ membership became mandatory for Aryans, under the Gesetz über die h.jugend law. This legal obligation was re-affirmed in 1939 with the Jugenddienstpflicht and HJ membership was required even when it was opposed by the member's parents
7. To charles... he is an enemy of israel
Daniel ,   Beer sheva   (02.12.13)
under his reign he did more thsn any pope befor him to deepen relationships with the irianan mulas. Little know fact. Under his rule the iranian emmisary became the second largest emissary to the vatican of all countries... says it all doesn't it! His upbringing stayed with him. Also this pope's job and title before become pope was that of grand inquisator.... right
8. To: No. 5
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.12.13)
"Almost" compulsory is not the same as compulsory .... is it? I don't want you anywhere near my Jewish tachat, Charles. You've been spending WAYYYY too much time with Catholic priests, if tachat is your focus ....
9. Daniel , an enemy ?
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (02.12.13)
Is the size of the representation a measure of friendship ? Do you think that the relations with iran are better than those , of let's say , Spain a very catholic country , that has less diplomats ? Here something i found regarding the establishement of the Israeli-holy see diplomatic relations : "Personal inclinations were also a decisive factor, such as the long-standing personal aspiration of Pope John-Paul II and Cardinal Ratzinger, who had participated in the Special Committee of the Holy See that reviewed and authorized the establishment of full relations between Israel and the Vatican. After the decision was made, Ratzinger reportedly called his Jerusalem acquaintance, Professor Zwi Werblowsky to express his joy over the development, describing it as the fruit of the work of the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council." That was BEFORE he became a pope . He also deserted the nazi army , not bad for someone who as you say "his upbringing stayed with him " . The role of grand inquisitor , yes , but not to compare with those inquisitors who acted in Spain centuries ago .

Almost compulsory for the younger children , COMPULSORY later on . Read my 6 . And it was not he , aged SIX in 1933 , who could decide . His parents HAD to send him , otherwise they would face problems . Regarding your tachat , nothing for a 100 % [ not half US ] Israeli 100 % Jew . My advice : clean this part of you [ your best one ] with some vitriol , maybe it will become sane
