1. The popes visit to "Palestine" proves one thing....
tiki ,   belgium   (05.19.14)
Suffering from the old disease, called......! With all due respect, but he should work on his history/geography! There is no "Palestine, because if there would be, there would be no occupation. There is disputed land between the Jewish people who have lived there since Biblical times & the Arab guest workers who call themselves Palestinians since the Arafat/Carter area (1985) When Israel took historical Judea & Samaria and the eastern part of Jerusalem back from Jordan who had obtained it through war & occupation, the people living there were called Jordanians. The pope should know that, which I'm sure he does, but it's just not in his & Catholic Church interest to acknowledge it!
2. Mufti and Papa have been working on this for months!!!!!!!!
David ,   Israel   (05.19.14)
All a Muslim and Catholic plot to over take the Jews!
3. BEIS LECHEM (House of Bread in Hebrew) is ISRAEL FOREVER....
Avraham ,   Jerusalem   (05.19.14)
Arabs OCCUPY it now but soon it will return to the Jews. Birth place of Jesus (Yehoshua) the JEW. Birth place of King David the JEW. It has always been a Jewish town until the RECENT ARAB OCCUPATION.
4. Pope Francis or rather Petrus Romanus the Last Pope
Dror ,   Haifa, Israel   (05.19.14)
We have nothing to fear from Petrus Romanus. This Pope is a neuterd Pope.. The Church is under tremendous Judgement that will lead to its destruction from above.. Most Catholics are aware of this Prophecy and believe in this Prophecy.. The Catholic Church will become defunct sooner than later. Payback for centiries of persecution and rape. They have it coming to them.
5. Take Fictional Palestine down. Forget scoring points.
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.19.14)
Israel has no need to score points against Fictional Palestine with the pope or anyone else. Israel needs to take Fictional Palestine down. This tiny land is ours. Israel need merely end the obscene flow of Israeli food, money, electricity, materials, work permits etc. Fictional Palestine would soon fall like the house of cards it is.
6. pope? WHO?
mary of bethany ,   Singapore   (05.19.14)
who really cares who the man endorsed? how many popes has came and gone and died... none of them has any great impact on the Jewish people without the approval of G-D Himself.
7. "longest occupation in history" 1950 years
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & NYC   (05.19.14)
"This visit will help us in supporting our struggle to end the longest occupation in history." He must mean the 1,950 years of occupation of Jerusalem and the Jewish homeland.
8. Whether ynet censor or not...
(05.19.14)
There's always two ways, broad or narrow; light or darkness; heaven or hell; messiah or anti messiah and Catholic church can look to Ghana for anti messiah who's Catholic and jews can look to Russia for messiah who's jew.
9. Pope Francis said Islam peaceful at core. Didn't read Quran.

10. Israel vs Pope
Brod ,   USA   (05.19.14)
Israel should say NO to this man-made god called Pope.
11. Pope Francis said Islam peaceful at core. Didn't read Quran.
