1. Pope Francis I more than any other Pope is my brother...
Jew ,   Israel   (03.25.13)
and truly I really liked Pope John Paul II... but Pope Francis is a straight forward simple person and so I choose to honor him
2. Pope Francis gave Israel a blessing. Obama gave...
Harry Wright ,   UK   (03.26.13)
a damn political statement. The pope acknowledged "that the Almighty, (who) freed HIS people" while Obama talked about "the dream of true freedom" while he sets a trap to ensnare Israel. Pope Francis recognized the evil surrounding Israel, Obama talked about meeting "the challenges" in the Promise Land. I'll go with the Pope's blessing.
3. Pesah - and the Pope
Torgeir Kvalvaag ,   Oslo, Norway   (03.26.13)
Israeli news outlets are reporting how the rest of the world send their greetings for the Pesah. So far I haven't seen any greetings the other way from prominent Jews to the Christian world relating to the Christian Easter. How come?
4. Time to celebrate

The Pope and Obama believed the story of the Passover and liked it. That’s why they have to tell us different story why Israel cannot keep the borders God gave them entirely.
5. To: No. 3
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.26.13)
What's the matter? Spending millions of dollars protecting Christian pilgrims from Arab terrorism isn't thanks enough for Christians? Do you have any idea how many Jews died because of Christianity? Blood libel -- accusations of poisoning wells -- the Crusades -- pogroms? Easter was a special time of year for Christians, and for tens of centuries, resulted in the deaths of innocent Jews throughout Europe. Ask yourself "how come?" Do you REALLY expect me to extend greetings for a holiday which Christianity used as an excuse to massacre millions of Jews over the years? I suggest that you do not hold your breath.
